It’s all tickety box

What about a question of spurt with Peter North and Ron Jeremy? They could both address their criminal past and things they did to pay the rent

Not sure anyone's feeling silly. A stopped clock and all of that.

Judging by the comments in the Mail article the readership are taking umbridge at her appointment simply because she's black.

That's your fucked up interpretation of it.

The umbrage surrounds another blatantly diversity quota appointment.

There was nothing wrong with Sue Barker's presentation, although Dawson is a bit of a prat. He could have been replaced by someone like Ron Atkinson.

So diversity means everything but white . Hope Oxford Dictionary is keeping up to date with developments on this.

What about a question of bantz, big Ron versus Peter "up a rope" Beardsley

The BLM marxists have poisoned the political discourse to such a huge extent that the tokenism allegation speaks for itself.

Yep, another reason for DM readers to start frothing at the mouth

The answer was predicted as soon as the old white simperer was put out to grass

What next, take a knee before the picture road?

Defund this propaganda machine immediately

Why does it bother you so much?
Sue Barker has done the job for nearly 25 years.
In other industries people aren't guaranteed a job for life; why should she be any different?

And, you may remember, there was outcry when she was appointed, "stealing" David Coleman's job etc

[Monello]

Apparently The BBC have dismissed Sue Barker and the two team captains, because 'they want to take the show in a new direction'.

I wonder what that means, as they haven't said as far as I know. You have to wonder with 24 years experience, why she couldn't take the show in any direction The BBC chose.

Sue barker was a grand slam champion and former girlfriend of cliff Richard. Alex Scott is a nobody. Women’s football teams have to give away tickets and even then they’re playing in empty stadiums .womens tennis and golf is enjoyable to watch but in football the difference between men and women is huge

Alex Scott is set to replace sue barker on question of sport. Noone has watched it for for years. Another nail in the coffin of the bbc. She ticks all their boxes

If no-one has watched it for years, why is it another nail in the coffin? Why weren't people watching before?
