    Is Karen Brady a BBC employee? She can do what she wants in her own time. As Lineker should be able to do if he wants to donate to the Labour Party.

    He didn't break the rules at all. The guidelines specifically cite the example of a sports presenter talking about politics as an example of something that is unlikely to be mistaken for the views of the BBC, and which therefore shouldn't be an issue.

    In reality it isn't about the guidelines though. It's just that recent governments have put their people at the top of the BBC and now they're using them to dictate the narrative, as was obviously the plan from the moment they were installed in those positions.

    Which, just like the original policy Lineker was tweeting about, was another tactic used in 1930s Germany.

    If you had read all my posts on this matter you wouldn’t be trying to lecture me. I’ve never said his concern is wrong, or he can’t have a voice, my issue is with him taking money from the BBC while being told he’s in breach of their impartiality guidelines. If he doesn’t like the terms of his contract he should walk away. And I’m fully aware of how the Nazis came to power, thank you.

    She appears on a programme. She, like Lineker is not a BBC employee.

    So, why are you bringing Karren Brady into it as she is in the same situation?

    Yes I thought I was well versed in them but it turns out I knew a lot less than I thought.

    And Karren Brady is.So why did you bring her into it? Clarkson is as well though some who say Lineker is entitled to say what he wants think that Clarkson isn’t entitled to the same rights.

    I never said I knew it all. Your original, condescending, reply suggested I knew nothing.

    It was a tactic used in the communist USSR before the 1930s. Why didn’t he quote that?
