    That's a funny way of saying "Wow actually maybe he was right that the language used in the policy is similar to Nazi Germany because other people who actually LIVED through that period might have a clue about what they're talking about".

    It's very telling those that come out in support of said policies and those that oppose it. Very telling.

    That’s slightly different from their highest paid and highest profile employee being asked several times not to show political bias, yet continuing to do so.

    When was he asked not to show political bias? Out of interest, do you think if he'd tweeted in support of the government's policy he'd have similarly been asked to stand down?

    Good job that he didn't then. Would it hurt you to actually read what he said?

    Quite right, they were completely wrong to cancel him. Only a woke, lefty, snowflake employer would sack someone just for punching a colleague in the face because his dinner was late.

    Did he compare government policy to 1930s Germany?

    In the quotes, he said that the dehumanising language used is reminiscent...

    That's quite a big difference.

    He’s been asked several times not to tweet political bias, as quoted by the person in charge who actually told him. And yes, if he’d tweeted in support of the policy he would also be in breach of the rules.

    So do you honestly think he'd not be presenting MOTD tonight if he'd tweeted in support of the government? Genuinely interested in your response here.

    Hang on. Who said anything about supporting the 'said policies'? Don't make stuff up.
    It's nothing to do with whether someone supports the policies or not. He was bang out of order.
    And think also about the many German people in this country who have to endure such stupid comments, and I'd guess many holocaust and war survivors / relatives who would take offence with such comparisons.
    He just shouldn't go there as a way of supporting his views. End of. It really is that simple.

    -> Good job that he didn't then. Would it hurt you to actually read what he said?
    -> Did he compare government policy to 1930s Germany? In the quotes, he said that the dehumanising language used is reminiscent. That's quite a big difference.

    Oh come on. The inferences are crystal clear.

    He'd be presenting tonight if he'd posted he disagreed and didn't support the policy... The fact he made a absolutely ridiculous comparison to something that this said policy is nothing like is the reason he's not presenting

    He's every right to not agree and not support, but He's an absolute idiot for saying what he said and has rightly been removed.

    Yes. He’s been told not to show political bias yet considers himself bigger than the BBC.
    If he’s still at the BBC at the time of the next election, do you think it would be acceptable to tweet to all his followers that they should not vote Tory? Genuinely interested in your response here.

    I used to like Alan Hanson on MOTD, he left it when he was younger than Lineker is now.
