Let’s be honest though - many countries including EU countries - make it virtually impossible for people to claim asylum there
Processing of claims has been cut (wilfully?) over many, many years.
And it must be remembered, you cannot be an illegal asylum seeker, you can't.
Match of the Day is men’s football and in my opinion should be presented by a man, ladies football is for the ladies and should be presented by a lady.It’s my prediction for their next move. Replacing him with say, Jimmy Bullard will be seen as revenge. By saying “we’ve listened feel that we need more diversity to better reflect modern Britain” is a position or almost immunity. Few would dare criticise the appointment of say, Alex Scott for fear of being called racist, sexiest, gammon etc.
Cancel culture and the free speech debate is not confined to the BBC. It has been going on for years and there are infinite examples.
To be ignorant of that just looks like a deliberate attempt to slow walk the general debate and I don't believe you or the other poster are really that clueless.
'We didn't know there were any other attempts to cancel people in the past so we're just speaking up about it all now' is an almost humorous take and I don't think you can be taken seriously in this conversation with it.
I don't bother listening to the drivel between highlights. I'm not bothered if such and such a player should have done this or that. And as for a volume control, yes, you're right. I have one. Now go and slip into something comfortable. Like a coma.You’ll kick yourself when you find out your tv remote has a volume button.
All those years you could’ve watched in silence as you’re now pretending to prefer.
Andrew TateJust give me a couple of these infinite examples…
GoodIncorrect
Just give me a couple of these infinite examples that are comparable to this case…
Ffs. You can’t be that thickAndrew Tate
I don't particularly care what other countries do when we're talking about this country, it distracts from our government's attempts to regress us to a hate-fuelled position - I've said many times that there's a reason why I've been proud to be British, and that is our (relative!) tolerance, acceptance, and willingness to help those less fortunate - the fact that other countries are even shitter is not a reason for us to aim to lead a table of barbarism! What we should be is campaigning for the worst nations to show tolerance and humanity to those who have suffered unmentionable horrors, to be a force for good in the world.Let’s be honest though - many countries including EU countries - make it virtually impossible for people to claim asylum there

Next season squad if we stay up...
If we stayed up next season... Who would you keep / offload? Goalkeepers Keep both Defence Rose - If we could still get a decent price for him, I would let him go but feel that landscape may have changed. McCallum - I would take McCallum back which you'd expect to be a possibility given...www.skybluestalk.co.uk
Send back Gyokeres oh no. Who’s thick again mate?
One is a person who was making a comparison on his personal social media channel. The other is the Home Secretary in charge of the policy making an official statement on behalf of the government..Same with Lineker then. Though it should be easy to find similarities, history being what it is.
I’m not saying there weren’t any. I was asking for the examples as I “had clearly missed them”. I haven’t heard of either cases but will look into them nowI’ve already highlighted the cancelling of Peter tatchell and Linda Belos from debates within student unions. Bellos was referred to as a bigot - funnier than your comedy Harvey

You know, I kind of agree with you on some elements of Peter Tatchell, but you've picked a poor example there tbh as it's another speaker not wishing to share the same stage as him - ultimately everybody's welcome to do *that* as well.I’ve always admired Tatchell since the Bermondsey by election fiasco

No, I was just replying to a post that imo was saying in a roundabout way Lineker gets too much, perhaps he does that’s a matter of opinion. I could get as political as anyone about already wealthy people earning in a week what most get in a year, two or even more, government squirming about giving nurses for example a 10% + increase yet employ someone like wealthy Tory donor Richard Sharpe as head of the Beeb probably on an eye watering salary dropping into his multi-million pound bank account which the likes of poor old me is contributing to.What should the most be that anyone is allowed to earn? Aren’t you calling for the old 95% top rate of tax essentially? (Not that I’m disagreeing)
I’m not trying to slow walk the debate, I’m trying to understand why you’re so upset that people don’t speak out more about comparable controversies. If there are “infinite” examples of people being suspended from their job for giving a political opinion, why don’t you just expose all the hypocrites once and for all by naming a few?Cancel culture and the free speech debate is not confined to the BBC.

You should know by now that unless you speak about every injustice in the world, you're not entitled to speak about any.I’m not trying to slow walk the debate, I’m trying to understand why you’re so upset that people don’t speak out more about comparable controversies.

Andrew Tate was cancelled on social media, had his Uber and banking apps suspended for being a positive role model to men
Haha, yes, that's why isn't it.. ...
Gabby Logan has presented men’s football on BBC for years.Match of the Day is men’s football and in my opinion should be presented by a man, ladies football is for the ladies and should be presented by a lady.
I like Alex Scott and think she comes across okay as a panellist and I’m not concerned regards female match reporters but as I said Saturday match of the day imo is a man thing.
For example I wouldn’t expect Jeremy Clarkson to present Loose Women.
Why else
Quite literally, where do I start? You must surely be on a wind-up so I'll let you do some research
it's boosh mate, he is 1 bit wumQuite literally, where do I start? You must surely be on a wind-up so I'll let you do some research
Seems more like you can’t answer
Never heard of Alex jones, not a member of hustlers university. No charges or anything regarding rape, financial abuse or any other crime in fact but good effort
*Yet.
He fled the UK because of the rape allegations. Or as he said, he left because it was becoming "too woke".
Well it’s been almost a year since the investigation started and nothing yet. The UK is too woke I agree
Not really a fan of the one show tbh but she’s better than jenas I guessYou would love Alex Jones, trust
