Ep 146 - Gary Lineker made the BBC U TURN on impartiality policy | 7 baby mamas guy, Who is to blame?

from Your Aunties Could Never

In this episode, we'll be talking about the latest news surrounding the BBC. They've recently faced backlash for not airing an episode of David Attenborough's wildlife series due to fears of a right-wing backlash. Gary Lineker has also been asked to step back from his role on Match of the Day after criticising the Conservatives' small boats immigration plans. Fiona Bruce, the host of BBC's Question Time, has also been criticised for dismissing domestic abuse allegations against Boris Johnson's father as a "one-off". We discuss whether it's time to revisit the license fee rules and whether the BBC is conservative-leaning.In other news, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has raised £400m to make the UK the largest charity donor to Ukraine in the world. The UK government has also match-funded £25 million of public donations to the DEC's Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. We discuss whether you donated and what your thoughts are on the government being able to match fund.We also delve into Rishi Sunak's new legislation, which aims to stop migrants from crossing the Channel to the UK. Anyone found to have entered the country illegally would be removed from the UK within 28 days and blocked from returning or claiming British citizenship in future. Those who arrive in small boats would either be returned to their home country or another "safe third country" like Rwanda. We ask if small boats are bothering you and how we should tackle immigration.Finally, we get into dilemmas and share what has made us SAD MAD AND GLAD
