I doubt they'd be a problem if Lineker had tweeted his support for Labour. It's clear and he's not a current affairs journalist. But saying the government sounded like the Nazis, and then challenging BBC management, was just ****ing dumb.

He'll probably be back next week.
When did he say the government sounded like Nazis?
Here is what he tweeted

There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s,

Doesn't mention Nazis once

To be fair Bob, it’s obviously what he was alluding to. However, for me that’s not the point.
 
Most likely, yes. Have the government lurched far enough to the right for you yet or can Reform still count on your vote?

Don't forget to take a Union Jack and a picture of Nigel Farage into the voting booth :emoticon-0100-smile

I'll wait to see manifestos, but if Sunak brings down the number of illegals being brought in by organised crime, he may get my vote, for what it's worth

Bob, who was in government in Germany for most of the 1930's?

For me it's not an issue but then again what lineker says doesn't really matter to me either way.
What is an issue is why there is such an uproar of faux outrage over it. What a set off woke pussies some people are

Absolutely this……same as the outrage that occurs when some comedian like Jimmy Carr tells an edgy joke…I don’t get the ****ing outrage.
In fact I’m outraged by their outrage :emoticon-0121-angry
