    So standing up against suppression of free speech is “virtue signalling” now?

    I thought you lot hated cancel culture with all the “snowflakes” but isn't that exactly what this is?

    is “virtue signalling” just a dog whistle for things you don't agree with? Or did you read the daily Heil again?

    The art of debate needs reviving! It seems you cannot have a different point of view without somebody using insulting language to a fellow poster.

    I would have thought the contractual agreement Radio Leeds had with the club was that our manager gave pre match and post match interview.

    I'd suggest the BBC need the Apprentice far more than Lord Sugar does.

    You're right Tony. This government enact many elements of far right tactics as a smoke screen to dismantle public services and redistribute wealth in the background. Some of them are a little fascistic, but on the whole they've got a different, but equally damaging agenda.

    I like your analysis.

    Don't take him so seriously he's far better suited to the Cows Arse or the countdown thread.

    Sums it up nicely for me. Not the country I want to live in and doesn't represent me.

    What do you mean by kangaroo?

    I don't think someone being censored by the government is a good thing(which actually is far beyond cancel culture) whatever side of the political spectrum they are on. Do you think government censorship is good?

    Andrew Neil - a right leaning editor for the spectator who hosted a many political programmes was able to tweet his political agenda at will.

    I do think you are aware that its targeted at “lefites” and whats even odder you seemed pleased…

    If this opens the door for the next government to be authoritarian but then start going after right leaning people would you be pleased? I dont think so.

    The club has an awful habit of own goals when things are starting to look up.

    Not the clubs fault. It’s exactly what the government wants to do so, we all forget how incompetent this government is.

    Yes, Bronco. Brilliantly illustrating the point there with a thinly veiled little dig. Well done.

    Censored...!!

    On a different note what I find shameful is all the footballers involved in this controversy were bl00dy good players in their time, and most of us will have enjoyed and praised their efforts playing for club and country, but look at them now, embarrassing...

    Although football is a powerful medium, politics should be left out of sport, all sport, full stop.
    I fully support freedom of speech, but if you want to discuss this subject, whilst in the public eye become a politicion, not a well paid sports presenter. If the bbc have a neutrality stance, then as an employee of that company, you can not continue to be paid whilst going against your employer.
