I didn't take the Covid vaccine, if that's what you mean by an "anti-vaxxer?"

But the vaccine is just a part of what was done to us. There's much more to it than that. And that's why our attention is on Gary Lineker.

The BBC’s remit says it is “committed to achieving due impartiality in all its output” and that “this commitment is fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences”.

As for Twitter use, it says: “The external activities and public comments, for example on social media, of staff, presenters and others who contribute to our output can also affect perceptions of the BBC’s impartiality.”

The BBC also has specific rules over the use of social media for all employees, including freelancers.

These are:

Always behave professionally, treating others with respect and courtesy at all times: follow the BBC’s values
Don’t bring the BBC into disrepute

If your work requires you to maintain your impartiality, don’t express a personal opinion on matters of public policy, politics, or ‘controversial subjects’ (as defined by Ofcom)

Don’t criticise your colleagues in public. Respect the privacy of the workplace and the confidentiality of internal announcements

Gary Lineker has previously argued that he is a freelance sports presenter and added that the BBC rules "only apply to people in news and current affairs".

No doubt you'll be calling for Andrew Neil and Alan Sugar next?

[joeysteele]

The BBC hasn't been impartial for ages.

It's hypocritical.

The BBC long ago lost any real moral high ground.

Alex Scott
The former Lionesses star is among the front-runners to take Lineker's place, having made a positive impression since breaking onto TV screens as a pundit and presenter. Spending most of her career with Arsenal and racking up 140 international appearances in the process, she certainly has the footballing pedigree under her belt, as well as a portfolio of BBC presenting roles including Sports Personality of the Year and guest appearances on The One Show. She did, however, HINT via social media on Friday night that she would not consider the role.

I'd love to see a strong backlash now against the BBC.

I'm fed up of the BBC, have been for years and it's dinosaur tax of a licence fee.
For WHAT.

All the bias it shoves at the viewing public.

[bots]

it's going to highlight the extent of left wing bias at the bbc, something we have all known to be true for years

[Liam-]

Oh yes, the suspending of a critic of the right wing, fascist government and the cancelling of an episode of a David Attenborough documentary so the right wingers don’t get offended, definitely highlights a left wing bias, it’s like you enjoy being delusional

[joeysteele]

It's more right wing bias at the BBC.
None of their main political programmes have anything other than a staunch Con leaning supporter as presenter.

Kuenssberg, Bruce and Coburn who all often don't hide their bias.

That's fair enough but they cannot be seen as being really impartial.
Not at all.

Replace him with someone black, show him his card, stupid old fool.

I agree with her.

It seems Con MPs become more reasonable and fairer once they leave the Party.

I've agreed with loads she's said since leaving the Cons.
She still criticises Labour and mostly she's right to do so.

On this issue though, she's dead right.

Nice to see them rolling out the football experts for comment. She's always talked balls.

she is vile

[Alf]

I have a serious question.

If my television identifies itself as a microwave, does that mean that I don't have to pay my TV licence?

stop denying microwaves exist

[Liam-]

Nothing but facts

Better times for Gary.

Youtube video

[Alf]

He was my absolute number 1 hero at that time. I wanted to be him when I grew up. I had that kit with his number on the back. It was number 8.

Thankfully I grew up into me instead.

[Beso]

So who's presenting?

Rylan?
