Lineker stepping down from MOTD.
I might not agree with what he says but surely he can say it without castigation.

Temporarily, apparently. Had to happen, since he stuck two fingers up at BBC management
The thing is the ultra right tend to be to be very pro nature/animals, they post loads of cute dog and other animal clips to message boards, and get wound up when they think foreigners are treating animals badly. It’s humans they have no time for.
All the ****ers who moan about ‘cancel culture’ get him cancelled.
Know your rights. You have the right to free speech. As long as you are not dumb enough to actually try it.
What a load of bollox it all is. He only tweeted his opinion FFS. It's making me go all gammon, those ****ing woke righties taking offence
So he tweeted that the Government policy is similar to that of 1930's Germany. Is that right?
On the one hand, he's got the right to tweet whatever he wants. On the other hand, read the room Gary. He must have known many would jump on the bandwagon of being offended/upset by what he said and push to get him out of the public eye.
Offensive, not in my book, it was, however, very unwise.

What a ****ing disgrace. BBC totally cowed by the Tories.
And now Ian Wright has said **** it, he’s not gonna appear in solidarity with Liniker.
I like Wrightie
I like Wrightie
Thing is i generally can’t stand Liniker and I disagree with a lot of what he says….however he should be allowed t9 say it.
Getting all upset over that idiot Lineker. Of course he has freedom of speech, but when you enter a contract with a publicly funded broadcaster - he was on something around £2 million pa - you have either to temper it or resign and work for a purely commercial outfit.He's had enough warnings
He clearly knows nothing about the Third Reich...
No he didn't tweet that. He said the policy was cruel and that the language used was similar to that of 1930 Germany.
Whatever next? A politician talking about football??? Absolute wokes those who have taken offence
Sugar also publicly supported Boris Johnson at the last election. Anyone can say what they like as long as it suits the Tory agenda.
Control the media, control the masses.
Why does he have to temper it or resign?
He's had enough warnings

It's quite pathetic really. I really do wonder if he would have to temper it or resign if he had said the policy was good and the language used was fine. I somehow doubt it, but since he's gone against the Tory BBC then that's like blasphemy!

Whereas you’d have been right at home.
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.
