DAN WOOTTON: By capitulating to Gary Lineker and a left-wing cabal of multi-millionaire celebrity virtue signallers, toothless boss Tim Davie has just 調印するd the BBC's death 令状. It's time to defund this biased joke

• e-mail

They might be celebrating by popping expensive 瓶／封じ込めるs of シャンペン酒 in mansions across North London today, but I believe Gary Lineker has just killed off the BBC as we know it.

That's the consequence of 堅い talk by the gutless Director General Tim Davie, 恐れるing his own 職業 after a 週末 of strikes by his 冒険的な autocuties, 証明するing to be just that.

His pathetic capitulation to Lineker and the millionaire 暴徒 today ? 含むing a gormless 陳謝 ?and fudged 独立した・無所属 review with an 保証するd 結果 ? shows it's now a left-wing cabal of celebrity virtue signaller presenters, 支援するd up by the 広大な 大多数 of 生産者s and backroom staff at the Beeb's W1A （警察，軍隊などの）本部, who call the 発射s.

Indeed, it is （疑いを）晴らす 公平さ at the British Bashing 会社／団体 will soon be 公式に dead altogether.

On Lineker's Beeb, taking the 膝 before every football match must only be seen as a good thing because the discredited BLM organisation says so; anyone who believes an open 国境s 政策 would be ruinous for the British people must すぐに be derided as a 人種差別主義者 bigot; Brexit should be 扱う／治療するd as 存在 behind every problem; and JK Rowling is even more evil than her Harry Potter 創造 Lord Voldemort.

軍隊ing Davie, 明確に a weak man, into such a monumental U-turn over the BBC's 公平さ 支配するs introduced in 2020, it seems to me that Lineker and his ilk want to morph the public service 放送者 into an 率直に 行動主義者 organisation.

Anyone with even the slighte st insight into the BBC this past １０年間 of Brexit 憎悪, lockdown fanaticism, 支配する Britannia banning and Boris loathing knows they're already there behind-the-scenes.

But the veneer of 公平さ had continued, with Davie 主張するing 回復するing 信用性 to the wayward organisation would be at the heart of his 使節団 as DG.

Until today that is.

What comes next is a world where BBC presenters 伸び（る） 大規模な social マスコミ に引き続いてs on the 支援する of their taxpayer-基金d work for the 会社／団体, only to use said に引き続いて to （選挙などの）運動をする for a 労働 政府 using the Lineker playbook.

代表するing ALL of the British public, even those who ? shock horror ??? 投票（する） for the Tories or want to stop the boats, is no longer the 優先.

Ironic given the 最新の BBC advertising （選挙などの）運動をする 宣言するs: 'The BBC is something that belongs to all of us. #ThisIsOurBBC'

Not anymore, it's not.

Lineker made that （疑いを）晴らす as he put the boot into most of the country on his beloved Twitter when 発表するing he'd got his own way and would be 支援する on 空気／公表する by the 週末.

He wrote: 'A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it 簡単に doesn't compare to having to 逃げる your home from 迫害 or war to 捜し出す 避難 in a land far away. It's heartwarming to have seen the empathy に向かって their 苦境 from so many of you. We remain a country of predominantly tolerant, welcoming and generous people. Thank you.'

That's the consequence of 堅い talk by the gutless Director General Tim Davie, 恐れるing his own 職業 after a 週末 of strikes by his 冒険的な autocuties, 証明するing to be just that

?I am now 納得させるd the Lineker 事件／事情／状勢 will 結局最後にはーなる 存在 a 目印 moment in the 破壊 of the BBC as it continues to be run today

Translation: If you don't agree with Lineker's hard left open 国境s 政策 you are an intolerant, unwelcoming and sel fish person.

Given the 人気 of the 政府's stop the boats 政策, he's 述べるing the 大多数 of the country in that derisive manner.

Besides, much like Lineker's 初めの tweet comparing the 告示 of Suella Braverman's 計画（する） to language used in 1930s Germany, such an argument is intellectually dishonest.

Stopping 違法な 移住 経由で small boats on the Channel and 鎮圧するing the despicable people 密輸するing ギャング（団）s 貿易（する）ing in 悲惨 IS the compassionate thing to do, saving lives and 確実にするing only 本物の 難民s 結局最後にはーなる in the UK, not 犯罪のs and 経済的な migrants '逃げるing' the 北大西洋条約機構 明言する／公表する of Albania.

But that sort of shapeshifting has run はびこる the past week amongst the MSM, political 設立 and 労働 party 率直に （選挙などの）運動をするing to 回復する Lineker to his 職業.

What infuriated me most was the fig leaf argument that 保存するing the former footballer at the BBC was somehow now a 事柄 of 保護するing freedom of speech.

Lineker 絶対 has a 権利 to that, but he chose to 調印する it away when he agreed to the BBC's 水晶 （疑いを）晴らす social マスコミ 指導基準s in 交流 for a vulgar £1.3 million 年次の salary, 爆撃するd out by struggling licence 料金 payers in the 中央 of a cost of living 危機.

The bloke has no 不足 of 申し込む／申し出s from the woke マスコミ world, where he could earn far more in the 商業の 部門 and then tweet hard left talking points comparing the Tories to the Nazis every hour of the day if he 手配中の，お尋ね者.

And I have no problem with that; Lineker can 絶対 spout whatever uneducated nonsense he wants.

And, 信用 me, it is nonsense from the bloke who tried to defend working at the Qatar World Cup, whose stadia were built on the metaphorical 墓／厳粛／彫る／重大なs of dead migrant 労働者s, by （人命などを）奪う，主張するing that the next host the USA is 'extraordinarily 人種差別主義者' too.

My only 問題／発行する is that we are 軍隊d to 支払う／賃金 his BBC salary ーするために watch TV or 直面する going to 刑務所，拘置所.

That is insanity in 2023, where we choose which content we want to 消費する 経由で streaming services and big tech 壇・綱領・公約s like Netflix and YouTube.

I am now 納得させるd the Lineker 事件／事情／状勢 will 結局最後にはーなる 存在 a 目印 moment in the 破壊 of the BBC as it continues to be run today.

By admitting that 星／主役にする 力／強力にする means more than 公平さ, Davey has 粉砕するd the last argument that the Beeb is impartial and can 供給する a balanced 見解（をとる） on the news not 許すd どこかよそで in the マスコミ.

That's not true. We can 証明する it. And, with the leftie hosts now 判決，裁定 the roost and 現在のing a monolithic 見解（をとる） of culture war 問題／発行するs, the 生産（高） is about to get a whole lot more biased.

So why on earth should a hardworking Brit who believes 移住 to the UK, both 合法的な and 違法な, must be 削減（する） ーするために 保護する our country be 軍隊d to 支払う／賃金 £159 a year to be told that we are despicable?

We shouldn't ? and 軍隊ing us to do so or 直面する a custodial 宣告，判決 is morally repugnant.

Davie might think he's come up with an artful 解答 to a PR 危機, but what he's 現実に done is 速度(を上げる） up the 必然的な and necessary 過程 of decriminalising 非，不，無-支払い（額） of the licence 料金.

In the modern world of the マスコミ, you should only 支払う／賃金 for the BBC if you want to.

Defund this joke of an organisation 経由で a 投票 税金 and 許す it to 控訴，上告 to those Lineker fanatics who, unlike me, believe it 供給するs a service 価値（がある） 支払う／賃金ing for.
