Which makes you wonder why the supposedly more economically savvy party consistently rejected investment in infrastructure in favour of the complete opposite (austerity) during our recent problems...

Orders given to BAE, SFL, W Cook etc., these companies pay wages - tax back to gov. Pay rates, VAT, Corp tax etc. back to gov. Employees spend on goods, taxed. Bills, taxed, mortgage int - profits to banks, taxed. Defence and infrastructure spending often kickstarts certain economies. In the 1930’s it was done to combat the Great Depression in USA, Italy, Ger….. hold on…. (Satire)
On his own personal channel - maybe. He crossed the line previously by criticising Brexit voters on a BBC show. That’s, IMO, a clear line crossed.“wouldn’t sound out of place” isn’t a direct quote. And no he’s not a journalist. He’s a bloke with an opinion. Who should be allowed to say whatever he wants on his personal channels same as anyone else.
Same with Lineker then. Though it should be easy to find similarities, history being what it is.Braverman said there were 100m people wanting to flood our shores and it could potentially be billions. yet she failed to quote where she got this information from,
Are we supposed to just take her word for it then? Any decent journalist would have backed up these claims with quotes and evidence , but she's not a journalist. She's the fucking Home Secretary!
Well firstly he isn’t a BBC employee but don’t you see the media tell us and keep repeating what he gets as a free lance for his match of the day contract, but where does it end. How much should he get. He was most probably a millionaire when he retired from playing.He’s a bbc employee, their salaries are published every year. Personally I can’t believe he doesn’t take a pay cut to support the gender pay gap reduction
unless you can find where I’ve said that, please delete this post it’s placing me in a bad light
He'll be gone soon after. He's made his point and probably never really knew how much publicity it would create. I can't see either side really wanting to be working together for very long .Gary will be back. BBC to apologise to him. So they should.
Under Cameron and May the Tory party economic and social position was downright lunatic.Which makes you wonder why the supposedly more economically savvy party consistently rejected investment in infrastructure in favour of the complete opposite (austerity) during our recent problems...
He gets paid far far too much money, however, that is not what we're talking about is it?
As I posted earlier about Croxall, he’ll “win” the day but lose the campaign.He'll be gone soon after. He's made his point and probably never really knew how much publicity it would create. I can't see either side really wanting to be working together for very long .

On a BBC show. Not Twitter.
The BBC should have acted back then, didn’t.

The BBC will bring in Alex Scott or similar.
Answer this then Lineker reportedly gets about £25k a week for his match of the day roll, that’s about £15k a week in his pocket should anybody earn that much a week.He’s a bbc employee, their salaries are published every year. Personally I can’t believe he doesn’t take a pay cut to support the gender pay gap reduction
Why would they, other than she's never played mens football before ? That's a relevant point surely ?Probably. Then the gammons will be up in arms over a woman fronting a football show.
There is always something to be outraged about.

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.Why would they, other than she's never played mens football before ? That's a relevant point surely ?
Perhaps all the other pundits should be female as well.
Probably. Then the gammons will be up in arms over a woman fronting a football show.

Lineker is a contractor to avoid tax rules. HMRC are after him for £5m due to (being careful here) being prudent with his tax status.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)
In your post number 285 you say “personally you can’t believe he doesn’t take a pay cut to support the gender pay gap”Mate I’ve no idea what you’re going on about
He’s asking for an example of someone who’s been suspended by the BBC because it’s the best/most direct comparison to Lineker’s case. You can hardly be upset at people for not speaking up before if there haven’t been any comparable cases to speak out about. So again - who are the ones we missed?
Does he earn significantly more than other mainstream anchors?

Well it's all resolved, so everyone can shut up about him now can't they, and instead focus on the downright immorality and illegality of the bill he was referring to...
that's boosh, he's on a wumIn your post number 285 you say “personally you can’t believe he doesn’t take a pay cut to support the gender pay gap”
I’ll assume from that statement you think Lineker earns too much from the BBC, am I correct ?
F-ff to GB News then.... with the other neanderthals ! Ignorant t!t.
Maybe you are right regarding this, but what would be your alternative ideas for tackling this situation? I'm genuinely interested.
There seems to be a lot of criticism for this bill, which might be warranted and come into the categories that you say, but I'm not seeing many alternative suggestions put forward.
Processing of claims has been cut (wilfully?) over many, many years.There are lots of alternatives being discussed online. Most involve investment in terms of the processing of claims, a job which has been made immeasurably harder post Brexit (sorry to bring it up haha).
Safe accessible routes (takes away the need for a trafficker / middle man), a change in the way asylum seekers are housed (currently often housed together in large hotels in small little-England communities like Skegness), partly due to NIMBY middle class issues I imagine and constituency issues. Integration and language courses (I believe Germany did this with Syrian refugees to relative success?).
These kind of schemes offer actual returns. When you think about the amount of money we've spent to try and send a few hundred migrants to Rwanda and the money for the French detention centre, both seem a little wild.
Apologies for the shitey grammar at work, but there's actual suggestions from people that do this kind of thing as work / study which are much more detailed.
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.
I am unsure of the first part, but probably! The second part I know, but lots of people don't I guess.
