Labour: “The BBC’s cowardly decision to take Gary Lineker off air is an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure. Tory politicians lobbying to get people sacked for disagreeing with Government policies should be laughed at, not pandered to. BBC should rethink.”
@alanmalpass90 @ErikGrigg Hi Alan & Erik. Do you know if this talk will be recorded or streamed? I’d love to hear it. I had family (Grandfather) in the Lincs Home Guard, and also who had Italian, German (&Ukranian?) POWs work for them (farming and blacksmithing). But I can’t get there from Sussex on 6th.
@PaulBavill By the way, very much enjoying #HistoryRage, and your session on @guywalters Colditz talks. Always found Monopoly pretty boring in the past, but will look at it through different eyes from now on!
@James1940@WeHaveWaysPod Oh. What a shame. I’m so thankful I got to meet this lovely and incredible man at #Warfest. An absolute privelege. Condolences to his family. And thanks @James1940 for giving us all the opportunity to spend time with him.
