“We have never said that Gary should be an opinion free zone”, the BBC insisted this evening as they announced that Gary Lineker would not be presenting Match of the Day after his series of tweets criticising the government’s asylum policy and comparing their language to Germany in the 1930s.
Lineker’s colleagues have already been voicing their support – Ian Wright and Alan Shearer both declaring they would not present the show either in “solidarity”.

I am ceasing my listening and viewing of BBC until they become righteous again with the appropriate human values we all share.
Match of the day is gonna be awesome tonight 👍
The Man is an Idiot…Just look at all the European countries that have ruined them self's with uncontrolled Immigration….this has nothing to do with Germany under the Nazi Regime…it´s simple a Fact in the year of 2023….Just look at fucket up Scandinavia, especially Sweden……And if you ask me, the world would defiantly be a better place if Germany would have won WW2…together withe the Japanese….There would only be "Made in Germany" and "Made in Japan"…No Soviet Union/Russia, no USA, no UK NO Middle east crises etc…There would be peace and quiet…and great cars…….😉😉
So do we still have to pay tv license if we don't even watch tv?
Only in the woke and bias BBC supporting media that openly hates the Tories is Lineker supported. The wealthy elite wants high migration from both the EU and non EU countries, as the elite hate the poor white working man and woman who live in the areas of excessive migration. High migration never affects Lineker who lives in their mansions and posh end areas far far away from the working class. The elite also wants cheap Labour and to keep wages down – they refuse to employ the British man and woman, and prefer their French chefs, Polish builders, Czech nannies, Italian waiters etc.
Good
Dont what him back
I can see a court case looming
SACK THE LOT OF THEM………… TRAITORS
The theme tune came way before gary lineker dont get it twisted….
Really BBC is a government channel
Government and the media are in a marriage that no one can brake,till death do they part…..
Channel four have always been quite diverse with there programs but now it seems that each news channel repeat the same headlines over and over again including channel 4..
gary condemned Qatar on human rights but BBC just kept quiet. but now gary twit about another human rights issue in UK and he got suspended. just pure hypocracy
Clear off Campbell you lying git.
Congratulations, BBC. Your stance against Gary Lineker has just highlighted to the world your double standards, hypocrisy and total commitment to following the propaganda of the Tory Party. Wasn’t Russia Today closed down for similar activity?
Why does it keep taking footballers to keep re-setting the Tories’ moral compass?
Gary Godwin Linaker – you don't speak for the nation.. Good luck with your next venture… so long as it doesn't involve enticing more illegals into the country.
His an idiot!!
I bet you if the Tories can have it their way they’ll probably impose similar policies to Russia and China in terms of free speech.
BBC makes Gary Lineker stepped down is like people in Communist China getting silenced for saying something the government doesn’t like
Thank God. The free market will decide the best commentator. We do not need comunist governemnt decide who is the best person to say that was a good goal
Gary Lineker hasn't say anything untrue its his personal view (everyone's very basic right), and after that we all should know that freedom of speech is just a word. doesn't exist anywhere in the world including the most freedom country in Europe (the UK), Fair play to the lads to pull off from match of the day and BBC, we as a sport watcher and sport men stand with freedom of speech and its value, i wish Mr Gary and the boys all the best. Keep you heads high, love you all 💌
He should go back to criticizing Qatar and he’ll get a hero welcome in no time!
Sack the lot of them. and then find someone else.
I heard the 'stars' were boycotting the BBC?? What a relief when I found out Tom Cruise, Tom Hardy, Angelina Jolie, all the way down to the cast of Emmerdale, were carrying on unaffected!!!
Gary Lineker gets £1million per year of licence payers money for very little?? Time for some new talent..
And leave David Attenborough out of this.. Right wing extremists??? Give us a break!!!
Is this… and I'm outta order, or a typo and meant to say am I out of order🤔 I don't fully know what is being said but if read it both ways maby s9meone can show and exsplane wmjays been Sao xx
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂❤😂🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤😂😂😂
The FakeNews BBC tells Lineker to step back…. James tell Lineker to Sit Down.. and sings “if I hadn’t seen such riches, I could have lived with being poor”..😂😂
All the stupid people support Lineker and the people with half a brain cell (that understand the holocaust) say he should be sacked- Get rid and get a better set of presenters 👍🏻
AlistairCamp-bell (end) is looking very old these days- Doctor death 💀😂😂
people should boycott games until he’s put back in. World’s gone too soft, literally no such thing as freedom of speech
The 'BBC' is no longer fit for purpose in any way. It's a terminally ill dinosaur being protected and propped up by people who can easily afford its £159 a year TV Tax. It's an absolute abomination.
Baldric (Tony Robinson) loudly proclaimed his support for New Labour, and I don't recall him being cancelled. Miriam Margolyes is equally gushing in her love for Jeremy Corbyn. What is the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation's freaking problem?
Everybody is entitled to there opinion and I respect his,but a lot of people including myself don’t want these people coming over here,look what’s going on in our towns and cities it’s ridiculous, they don’t bring joy and happiness with them.
T Davie at the BBC is a disgusting dishonest creep and the BBC has never been "Impartial" under him. His orders from the even more dishonest Conservative MPs (J Hunt) should be concentrating on helping the UK taxpayer instead of trying to silence freedom of speech and exposing MPs for their criminal activities.
FACT: BBC news have been nothing except a form of inaccurate entertainment whereby no real factual content is delivered and attempts to pull on the emotions of its viewers sacrificing and real facts of global news… Keep going Gary and all his fellow presenters, who’ve done more for the UK people then any conservative party ever could!
