Reply to comment by Errorboros in BBC and Gary Lineker: Tweets decision comes at high price for BBC by Errorboros

It's coming to something when the most astute and progressive voice in British politics is a multimillionaire ex-footballer. But good luck to him, he's got my vote.

I would argue that Jonathan Pie (aka Tom Walker) is far better than Gary on both counts. Unfortunately he doesn't have the same following.

Pie's great fun, I hadn't seen that one. At least we're all agreed on one thing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXqVGtxFppQ

What gets me is that it's not even fucking progressive! When all this kicked off I looked up the tweet and the policy and I was just shocked at just how...tepid the tweet actually was compared to what I expected considering how angry some people were/are. I mean, we're at the point where saying you don't like a policy and stating some facts about it is considered progressive? We can't accept this. We cannot concede this to conservatives. Reality is not negotiable.
