I have not written for a while due to illness and sheer distress at what is going on in this country and the world in general. I’ve felt so helpless that I could hardly bring myself to write for fear of filling the page with just a string of profanities and yet again expressing my deep hatred of the government. It has become so tedious and yet not surprising the each and every day they do or say or propose something, anything, everything that is obnoxious or just a plain lie.
I sure those who have read my blogs will understand that commenting on the Lineker situation is odious, my view on free speech is well known and naturally he has my full support. I have been very critical of the BBC for a long time and this is just more evidence of an organisation that has passed it’s sell by date and rapidly descending further into becoming a tool of the government propaganda machine! They have massively underestimated the solidarity of ex-footballers and the strength of support they would give to Gary. After all this could happen to any of them if the employer deemed they had written something vaguely controversial! It is censorship, plan and simple and they have seriously misread the anger of the public as to how they have reacted! There are so many more important issues going on in the world which are not even being reported. Israel is using ethnic cleansing to destroy Palestinians, Georgia’s government has had to back down with their support for Putin or face a rebellion, Putin is still bombing Syria and the myriad of stuff going on in some African countries is never ending! Do we get reports on these and other world news? If we do you have to search hard for it.
I am considering banning the BBC TV and refusing to pay my licence fee. I watch little of their content though ironically I do watch MOTD, however these days highlights of all the Premier League matches can be found on You Tube so it is easy enough to see them. Of course as my darling wife has just reminded me I would also have to stop listening to the Radio programmes I like!
Stay well
