    I wasn't online yesterday, but clearly I was a tad optimistic in my hope that posters would be able to apply the no politics rule themselves.

    Peter's been removed from the thread and when I've got a minute (or 60), I'll go back and delete everything that's not about Lineker and MOTM and remove anyone else who's spent the last ten pages discussing UK immigration policy.

    Did post #10 have any influence on the direction of the conversation around immigration issues by any chance?

    Well, Lineker's back in the chair now so can this thread be shut down?

    I've actually changed my mind on this. I don't think he should have been taken off air now.

    1. Only the News team have to abide by the strict impartiality rules according to the BBC reporting.
    2. He's not employed by the BBC he's a freelancer.
    I do still think he's paid too much mind. The lass doing talk sports breakfast show issued a come and get me plea to MOTD on Sunday morning saying she'd do it <laugh>

    Interesting that it ended up being the BBC apologising and backing down.

    It does throw up the final question which is, is it possible for a British male over the age of 40 to not make a Nazi Germany reference at any point in a 12 month period?

    I believe it is. And everyone should be allowed some Lebensraum when it comes to having and offering personal opinions on social media, irrespective of job.

    In what way?

    Lineker has agreed to abide by the BBC guidelines...

    In the way that the first sentence of their statement included an apology for the situation.

    Tbf the BBC needed to apologise for how it was handled, but I still think Gary should apologise for the way he put it across ( if he has then Fair enough ) a sorry from both sides and move on.
