Gary Lineker

[James Curry]

With luck Vic, some lifer will save the public purse ££££££ and ensures the scum meets with an accident ASAP.

Politicians, just another form of liar, fool, cretin on many occasions, and teller of distirbing stories.

Here in Victoria some years back the Liberal gov coming into office sold off the electric supply owned by the state.
Had to so they could pay off the massive debt left by Labor.

Now the Labor state gov says t will rebuild that state owned electric system.

Saying it will create some 59,000 jobs, what are they on??

We currently have a severe shortage of skilled engineers so are they going to build some of them as well.

But there are some in society who will think it is possible, they are also sniffers of some substance.

[James Curry]

John the 59,000 new jobs will be filled by Chinese migrants, did you mention your new PM was in China recently? anyway as the Chinese saying goes, many hands make light work.

[happy daze john in oz]

Both the state premier, on his own, and now the PM is going to China.

At the last feral erection China said quite openly they would prefer a Labor gov rather than Liberal ln power.
Liberals did not go along with much of what China wanted, Labor are all over them like a rash.
Both premier and PM are from the extreme left and closer to communist than many realise.

It's worth remembering that the Tories wholeheartedly supported the invasion.
When the vote came in parliament not a single Tory MP voted against the war; that was left to the SNP, Lib Dems and of course 1/4 of the Labour party who voted against their leader.

I'm sure many shall well remember how those politicians who opposed the war were pilloried in the national press - particularly by the Tory press - for not supporting the invasion.

Short memories do abound.

Well, whilst agreeing with you in principle - yes, the Conservatives did vote for invasion - have you ever asked yourself why?
It was the sublime way Blair delivered his misleading lie about WMDs to the House.
He referred only to the CIA version of said WMDs being "found" - he refrained from suggesting that MI5s intelligence (no evidence)was
never referred to - and rubbished the report that Dr. David Kelly produced, which gave his findings to the contrary and the reasons for his findings.
Blair was the superb and elegant liar in this unsettling episode and his delivery to the House had them eating out of his hand.
Check out the exchanges from back then to get an idea of how devious he was and how determined he was to impress and buddy up to
his puppet master, Bush.

What you see in the commons doesn't necessarily relate to what intelligence exists or how it is shared between government and opposition.
It has long been convention that in such matters the leaders of the main opposition parties are shown (behind closed doors) the intelligence relating to any planned military action, as some of it could of course be too sensitive for the public domain. In recent years - as an example - Cameron shared secret information with Ed Milliband when the former was proposing military action against Syria. That did however stop when Bojo's circus rolled into town.
We should not forget that there were more than a few elements in the UK who saw Iraq as unfinished business after the first war ended in '91, and of course that's when Saddam should have been toppled; it would have saved much misery years later.

I am not a fan of Gary Lineker but he is entittled to his opinion. He did not use the BBC as a political platform. All the BBC needed to say was the views of Mr Lineker are not necessarily the views of the BBC, end off.

BORIS Johnson has parachuted a multi-millionaire Tory donor into a top job at the BBC . Former banker, Richard Sharp, is to be the next chairman of the corporation. The 64-year-old - who used to be Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s boss at Goldman Sachs - will replace Sir David Clementi in the £160,000-a-year role.

Tell me strings were not pulled by the government to have Gary Lineker sacked or removed for his tweets.

Alan Sugar was not removed from his BBC show the apprentice when he tweeted that he would leave the UK if Jeremy Corbyn was elected.

BBC doubled standards at play

i think we should all leave if Corbyn was elected

[James Curry]

Were would you leave for?

[happy daze john in oz]

Were would you leave for?

Do not think of coming here to Oz, we are full just now.

[James Curry]

Not for me John , to many flies.
