The bbc, again.

Anyone got a video of this Emily Maitlisss meltdown? I’ve seen one of her grilling Boris Johnson on a panel but that’s it.

I haven't a link but I've seen the meltdown. Quite disgraceful that an experienced journalist should behave that way. I can forgive swearing as a slip of the tongue but she clearly meant it and did it again later. You had to feel sorry for Krishnan Guru Murthy he was left having to apologise to the audience.

You do wonder if she had been enjoying the Green Room refreshments too much.

I don't really have an issue now with Maitlis and....who's that drip who left the BBC with her to form 'Newsagents'?.....Joe Sopel is that it?

They were always very obviously left wing and unable to be objective when working on the BBC. However, working outside the public purse....no problem with that. It would be nice if the left had the same decency with GBNews, but they don't.

Anyway Greene told her where to get off in her characteristically undiplomatic style.
 
The BBC website this morning places greater importance on Lineker leaving than the disgrace of a man that is Welby.
Yes, there reports on both but two big picture articles on the former and more of a footnote on the latter.
Tells you everything.
 
Yup a good day for the BBC and their DG. So far the new DG seems to be doing a good job in reigning in the excesses of the BBC.

I think he weighed up the value of Mr Lineker as a presenter against his social media habit and all the trouble it causes.

No idea which diversity candidate will take over but it really doesn't matter. People watch MOTD for the football if its good they tune in, if footie becomes boring they wont. Ergo you don't need to pay a fortune to the presenter as he/she/they/WTF has a minimal impact on viewing figures.

Any chance he'll take his mate Alan with him?

Gabby Logan, you heard it here first
 
They were talking about Lineker on the radio this morning, and how much of a stalwart presenter he is.
Then it was mentioned that other sports people have successfully made the transition to presenting on TV, and I immediately thought of Saint & Greavsie, Bob Wilson, Sue barker, Virginia Wade.
So Lineker isn't unique, but just very good at self-promotion and using social media to entrench himself in a cushy big-money job.
Once his wages were made public, Lineker was always going to have to tread carefully.

Good call, tho i'd prefer 'Chappers', so it'll be Alex Scott 😒

I initially thought Alex Scott but she doesn’t appear to be “flavour of the month” despite the number of boxes she ticks. Mark Chapman would be my choice. Perhaps they could take the opportunity to change the pundits as well.
As much as I dislike him fair play to Lineker for keeping the World Cup gig
