You trying to spoil the party, 14 pages they've been going on with themselves over a storm in a teacup.
The post of mine that you quoted has disappeared Gant! There was nowt offensive in it. Must have hit a nerve.

No knots here. I've been clear from the outset.

People just needed to understand what was actually written, and not conflate it with what people seemed to think was written.

It's the double standards overall that's the ironic part
The double standards where a highly paid millionaire ex-footballer gets away with an underhanded comment using 'guidance' while the people employed by the BBC are required to follow rules.
You know the Tories installed their rightwing mole to undermine the BBC and St. Gary of Lineker has handed them all the fuel they need to get going.
 
.. people employed by the BBC are required to follow rules....

Yes, employees are often given rules to follow.

A person who is not an employee is in a different position.

Lineker is not an employee.

Lineker is not an employee.
Which is why the BBC is reviewing the guidance on social media posts.
The next time St. Lineker decides to become "the voice of the people" he'll have to be more careful with his words.
 
That's an interesting point.

A freelance correspondent, who is not an employee, has an opinion.

Is he allowed to express it, in his own time, away from his clients?

Next time there is a change of government, will people expect to have their contracts terminated if they say anything pro-Tory?

Will that apply even if he is accused of "implying" something that he did not say?

That depends on the language they use to express that opinion.

Is it ok to speak the truth, i.e. the Tories are bunch of duplicitous, back scratching sleazy, greedy grasping scum? Or would be better to publish the non-toned down version?
