What a load of twaddle, fair play to him for sticking to his guns, can imagine he disagreed with them when they told him to probably delete the tweet and not to comment in the future.

Likewise.
Can't help wondering what old grandees like David Attenborough & John Simpson are making of it all. Shaking their heads in despair, I wouldn't be surprised.

Really stupid call from them. It will just attract more attention to the issue and they'll end up walking it back when they realise how much support he has. Would be quite entertaining if they do sheepishly allow him back on, only for him to resign. All power to Gary Crisps.
Sadly, the decision has gone down very well on the comments' section of the Mail website.
But Lineker has been teed up to be a hate figure to the right for a long time, so maybe not surprising.

Yeah, saw on other threads. Multiple avalanches of shame both for this wretched govt. & the BBC, now inevitably linked together, esp given the new DG appointment. Neither org. could have handled it worse.
On the plus side of course,the explosion of publicity will be raising awareness amongst the general public & might well win over centrists including former tory voters.

Was reading the other day that this might be more to do with him proving to HMRC that he isn't a Paid BBC Employee, a freelance to get around his £4.9m fine for being outside IR35.
Bollox. This is entirely about censorship by the organisation run by right wing stooges of this fascist state. Open your eyes

This is tantamount to the BBC declaring war on Leicester. They've gone after it's 2 most influential sons on the same bleeding day.

It feels like a very dark moment, a suppression of free speech and 'cancel culture' at its worst.
James O'Brian explained it very well yesterday:

Quite the opposite old chap. I feel this is the moment that scales will start to fall from certain peoples eyes at what this state is doing to the country.

Not sure how this is classed as a "football" post. It isn't - can thus be moved please. Very bored by this and don't want to see it in the football section.
You cannot sensor people. We are meant to have freedom of speech here. What he says on social media is his affair. I’m not interested in what he’s got to say personally, but if others are, fine. That’s for him and them.
The BBC? They should wind their necks in and if the Tory dimwits are pressuring them, they should bring that out in the open and name names.

You are aware that Match of the Day is a popular football highlights show?

Comes to something when ex footballers speak for the vulnerable more than our elected representatives do.
Apparently the BBC have collapsed from Tory pressure and have just announced that this guy will be presenting MOTD. The Tories were very impressed with him whilst on ‘Escape To Victory’.

Yes, that is certainly the thing to be focussing on.

You don't think MOTD is football?
It is the Government, right wing moaners and the BBC who have politicised it in banning Lineker.
Wake up to this Government's fascism. It is affecting a football programme. It will affect your life.
