The post of mine that you quoted has disappeared Gant! There was nowt offensive in it. Must have hit a nerve.You trying to spoil the party, 14 pages they've been going on with themselves over a storm in a teacup.
Or you were lying again, who knows...Must have hit a nerve.
Why do you think he's lying?Or you were lying again, who knows...
Seemed so obvious to me, seems a generally held view hence a lot of people haven't a party to vote for at the next election.The post of mine that you quoted has disappeared Gant! There was nowt offensive in it. Must have hit a nerve.
It was a comment on why it may have been deleted. Andy is never factual, it is opinion at best, and lies at worst.Why do you think he's lying?
His lips were moving?Why do you think he's lying?
That all depends on whether you think an over paid footballer should ignore guidance rules.

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.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
.. people employed by the BBC are required to follow rules....
Which is why the BBC is reviewing the guidance on social media posts.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.
That depends on the language they use to express that opinion.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?
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?That depends on the language they use to express that opinion.
