LOL, I sense I may have hit a nerve. Well it does always distress me to see the dimwitted exposing their dimwittedness and shallow pathetic attempts at bullying Oh dear, Stephen calm your furrowed brow there's a good chap. I'm not bullying you ffs. I didn't realise you were so fragile. I will in future don the kid gloves before responding to you. There there. |

By implication, that means you believe the BBC can only be the mouthpiece of the state and have on its discussion programmes people from an approved list of vetted candidates who won't rock the boat.
Sounds more like policy from China, North Korea, or Russia...
No it doesn't. It means, if you work for the BBC and are a publicly recognisable figure, you have to keep a substantial part of your private opinions, to yourself. Unless you are a Tory party donor in which case you are made chairman. |

Unless you are a Tory party donor in which case you are made chairman. I guess if this Chairman starts to claim a ruling Labour party's policies are similar to Stalin's, then that will also cause a similar issue. My suggestion is to tighten up the rules so anyone identifiable as 'bbc' has to maintain a façade of political impartiality. |

He commented about the rhetoric of the current government, likening it to 1930s Germany. A fair comment IMO. Scapegoating, demonising and claiming that criminalising asylum seekers is patriotic. The parallels are there for all to see. |

The reference to 30s Germany was clearly designed to evoke a comparisons with Nazism - whose figurehead was Adolf Hitler.The fact that he didn't explicitly name Adolf Hitler isn't really important when the reference is so obvious. If someone in the BBC compared the labour party to the Kumar Rouge, I also don't think it would be all that pertinent that they didn't specifically name Pol Pot It also doesn't matter at all that you are so far left wing that you feel opinions held by large (likely majority) segments of the UK public are somehow akin to Nazism. What might be useful is an objective rule here. |

No if you understood English you would have seen I asked if it had become such? But with former Tory candidate and local party chairman Tim Davie as Director General and loans for Boris fixer Richard Sharp as Chairman it does rather look like they are owned doesn't it And your pathetic attempts to divert off the issue of no action on Alan Sugars numerous pro Tory angry man tweets are noted. We know why you won't answer. Come back when Sugar tweets a claim that Starmer is very much like Stalin. That prick Sugar insinuated Corby was like Hitler with this tweet.he also tweeted about the Senagal world cup football team that was bordering on racism,the bastard is still at the BBC.and i wish people would stop quoting things Lineker never said,he was talking about the language used by Government ministers,its been going on for some time. news.sky.com/story/sir-alan-sugar-tweets-picture-of-jeremy-corbyn-next-to-hitler-11310726 |

Yet you agree with Lineker associating 21st century Britain, to 1930's Germany? No I don't and neither did Lineker. No one said it is like 1930s Germany in the UK today. That's just Cruella distorting what he said. I do see parallels in the rhetoric though. When she said that her policy of criminalising asylum seekers was ''patriotic'' it made my skin crawl. |

You couldn't bully a paper bag I'm not trying to bully you ffs, this is something of a surprise. How many years have we been chatting arguing slagging one another off? And you suddenly say I'm bullying you. I'm not impressed. |
