Micah has come out in support, as has Gary Neville (though he doesn't do MOTD), as has the wonderful Alex Scott and Mark Chapman, who does the Sunday MOTD. Well done Beeb for kowtowing to the Tory hard right and shitting in your own bed. At least I can watch Liverpool demolishing Bournemouth at lunchtime tomorrow on BT Sport. Dunno what the Beeb will do about MOTD tomorrow, but it's going to take some bloody imagination I should think. I think I'd better start a boycott (though I imagine it's already been done...)

I know some of you buggers don't appreciate footie in the same way as me, and all power to your elbows for that. But fer chrissake there's a principle at stake here...
