Labour started this problem back in 2001 when Tony Blair appointed Gavin Davies a Labour donor who put Greg Dyke in charge !

The BeeB has been a political football for decades..

Someone is getting fired. Someone at the Beeb has jumped the gun before having the lawyers properly look over their Social Media conduct rules an Linekar's contract and is now in big twubble.

Coming up on GB news at the top of the hour - is contract law woke? That's the question we'll be asking Matt leTissier and the guy who got his dog to do a nazi salute.

This is just totally incorrect BOTS - you can't cancel a freelancer's contract without good cause whilst in contract, it's actually harder than firing someone who works as an employee.

You can get rid of them as soon as the contract term is up by simply not renewing their contract but if you terminate a freelancer's contract that was, let's say, signed for 3 years but you want them gone after 2 years but without very good cause (gross misconduct et al - the things people would normally be fired for - will obviously nullify the contract) ... you basically have two options. One is to wait it out and not resign, the other is to ask them to physically leave but still pay them the full amount for the three years (or ask them to agree to the contract being bought out for a lesser sum). Otherwise, you're going to get sued (and lose).

Why it's harder than with an employee - you can make an employee redundant for financial reasons if the company is struggling. You can't cancel on a freelancer just because you ran out of money. You still owe them the money stated in the contract and if you can't pay you're looking at bankruptcy.

MOTD gets 2 million viewers and Lineker gets paid Ł1.2 quid?

what

[Liam-]

Linekar being suspended for being ‘impartial’ his colleagues standing with him, him being apologies to and being out back on air, is one of the most beautiful displays of ****ting the bed I’ve ever seen

In doing their masters bidding, the Tory bbc bosses have just further exposed the true source of impartiality more than its ever been, one of them has to go for sure after dropping the ball and pulling back the curtain this badly, this publicly

all they have done is push the issue down the road, the problem they have is that people will be hypersensitive to any perceived bias now, so, it probably wont be a week before the next issue raises its head

The GBP is sick of the tories and their anti-woke nonsense

[Cherie]

If Labour was headed up by Kermit the Frog they should get in next time hands down, if the Torys win again there will be no coming back from that

[The Slim Reaper]

I completely agree. The tories are where they are because of themselves, which is why it's disheartening to see a labour party with zero ambition and very little difference between their policies and tory ones.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I guess the only good thing to come from this ridiculous thing is that Lineker wont be tweeting so much of his horrible hand-wringing nonsense now he has had this knuckle rap

[The Slim Reaper]

All you have to do is unfollow him, LT

I can see what you're trying to get at here but IMO it's completely the opposite that's happening ... people are thoroughly and unquestionably sick of Tory economic policies and the effect they're having on the country, especially the poor and working families. The ONLY reason that Labour isn't absolutely stomping them into the dust across the board is that too many people find themselves more aligned with conservative thinking when it comes to the non-economic stuff, or rather, they don't find Labour moderate enough. Contributes massively to people being tempted towards the Tories at crunch time, and to complete voter apathy.

Personally I wish Labour would just focus heavily on wealth redistibution and social economic policies that make people's lives measurably more liveable (i.e. sorting out housing, fuel and personal debt issues) and leave the sociology to experts and professionals. I think they'd walk the next election.

As things stand I reckon the Tories despite blatantly destroying the economy and making everyone's lives miserable and full of stress/anxiey will STILL win the next election... ... ... and that should say a lot.
