'Gary Lineker Tweets Appear To Breach BBC Guidelines' | Samir Shah

[@talktv]

Should Gary Lineker apologise to BBC TV Licence Fee payers?

[@Justpeace88]

Yes. He should be sacked.

[@djbogz1921]

No.

[@hannacook859]

Nah, he is good comedy, as in he is a joke. No one actually listens to him, he is pathetic

[@colinwishbone4437]

Lineker is so far up his own back end he thinks he's untouchable! THIS PROVES WHAT AN ARROGANTCGOBBY INDIVIDUAL HE IS ,THIS REFLECTS ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AT THE BBC WHO ALLOW THIS LEFTIE PARASITE TO REMAIN ON ITS STUPID HIGH PAY ROLL ,A CTION IS NEEDED AND HE SHOULD BE SACKED,BBCS ON BORROWED TIME

[@Bramfly]

No of course not. He should just quit, take his co-presentators with him and start his own show.

[@barneyreichman127]

I wonder how long Lineker would last in the BBC if he was defending the Tories instead of attacking them?

[@gherkamum]

He needs to go......We pay his wages......Public are fed up with him....BBC seem scared of Lineker

[@davidgilbert8880]

Gary Linker should pay everyone license fee for next year and then he should be sacked!

[@gregstretton8584]

Gary Lineker should go back to selling fruit and veg at the Leicester market

[@andrewstafford-jones4291]

But Gary is the Director General of the BBC, didn't you get the memo? Gary can say whatever he wants without restriction unlike other BBC employees. He must be in charge - nobody would be paid £1.35 million just to comment on a football match every week - that would be insane. He is paid this vast sum to run the BBC. He will be given a knighthood very shortly and can be "Sir Gary" in recognition of his brilliance in running the BBC. (Into the ground, I might add.)

[@oldTimer-x3r]

Didn't you know. Lineker is an arse licker for the BBC, that's why they are all bent at the top at the BBC.

[@meeee174]

When I was a child I spoke as a child but when I became a man I put away childish things

[@hannacook859]

He really brings out the twit in twitter

[@thedukeofearl.7764]

He's one of the main reasons I refuse to pay the T.V licence. What does he know about anything, he's an ex footballer. I doubt he can barely read and write let alone have an opinion that anybody cares about. He needs to just disappear.

[@patmenzies2663]

Time for the platforms that provide a voice and employment to remind them about bad publicity

[@deltafox9630]

Typical (ex) BBC man - the FIRST recourse is to call 'other' commentators 'Right wing' what an apologist John Mair is... His obfuscation and evasion reminds me of Greengrass in Heartbeat being interviewed by the police - in fact I reckon in another few years he'll sound just like him too.

[@jeremywestern7067]

Lineker is a total w⚓️

[@bobwaughman6259]

How sad, it comes from all the brain damage through heading the football over all those years

[@rosieprospect]

Lineker is the BBCs mouthpiece.

[@paulquinn7980]

That bloke sounds like a politician he doesn’t want to answer the question typical BBC😮

[@redpillmicky]

Linekar seems to own the BBC

[@philipwelsh1862]

What football team does that scarf represent == bull s--t athletic = what a Burke

[@garrybrough1881]

if it appears he has broken guidelines he should be sacked a la carol v. and if his woke friends protest then sack them too. the public is starting to get fed up of jug ears, if he wants to express political opinions like that then stand for parliment and see what the public really think of you

[@Mark-wb8dv]

From national hero to traitor

[@redjackdeer5154]

Gary is like an Empty bag of crisps, Nothing There . ⚽️⚽️

[@shuddupeyaface]

Smug and self-satified. Moi?

[@paulshea7022]

Evidently the rules only apply to some BBC employees NOT all of them.

[@Encorezero]

I thought the news was a balance, not wanting people to be sacked for memes 😂

[@trevaudio]

Is Jake berry trying to tell us that schapps used a pseudonym to write a book ???? He used four different names to sell get rich quick schemes. Lineker was brilliant for calling that grifter out !!!

[@andrewriches506]

Tim Divvy had his spuds removed before he took up his limp wristed position of letting Lniker and his mates wipe the floor with him.

[@stevenwhite9408]

We like Gary Lineker for his football knowledge and inside inside views. But please tell Lineker to keep his personal views to himself. He's an ex footballer with no knowledge of world events on a government level. If he can't take a neutral stance,resign from the bbc.. it is that simple

[@jennifershrubb4042]

How dare this man!!!!

[@bomberdores1]

He needs sacking he can’t keep his mouth shut

[@jamiejosh96]

The man insulted every Jew when comparing braverman to 1930s Nazis… he is clueless, in the 30s hitler called for the “annihilation of the Jewish race” in the reichstag… not remotely comparable

[@cestrian5294]

THis apologist for the BBC is a waste if time. Linekar, like Gary Neville should stick to punditry and not political comments. He needs sacking because his punditry is crap as well.

[@GrantMC100]

Comparing to 1930s at least our borders were then protected from invasion. Lineker should be sacked. Many others could do his job.

[@soniabaker9790]

Freedom of speech, no he shouldn't apologise,I think government people should for being so damned racist!!!

[@CJ198707]

This is all Lineker and Vorderman do on Twitter. They’re that bored they just sit on Twitter all day spouting pure hatred to a political party whose view they don’t like lmao.

[@Foodgigglesandfootie]

He never said it on the tv!!! He said it on his social media. Free speech

[@chrissyboi88b]

It doesn't matter 😂😂 Gary is an idiot 😂 you'd have an issue if it was a right wing person insulting a leftie.

[@michaeldoherty5272]

Let's face it politics is way more interesting than football at the moment...maybe Gary could do what paxman used to do on bbc or something!!

[@darryljones8418]

He should stick to selling crisps or get elected as an MP 😂

[@kenandchr]

Well said Gary. It’s what most of us think.

[@wodens-hitman1552]

So you think we're all soft and woke like you and wing nut?

[@johnyare8576]

I note he never opened his gob after the October 7th massacre.

[@oldTimer-x3r]

The BBC should sack Lineker. He has already been warned by the gutless BBC.

[@f0urstr1ng]

Stick to football? Bollocks. Would a doctor be denied an opinion because it’s not a medical concern? Would a firefighter be denied because it doesn’t relate to blazes or cats stuck up trees? I don’t adore Lineker but surely he’s entitled to an opinion regardless of occupation.

[@unusedsub3003]

Here’s the thing, I like MOTD, I like football and I like Gary Lineker. I don’t like Tories, they’re dull. I don’t like Tory voters, they’re dull. I don’t like Tory constituencies, they’re dull. It’s interesting how over the last 13 years, Britain has become duller than ever. If only there was some common denominator 🤔

[@wodens-hitman1552]

Here's another thing. We don't like lefties. We are voting reform. And we're taking our country back from unpatriotic creatures that have had the say for too long. How about that one tarquin?🖕

[@EwaRiro]

🥱🤔...how about you ignore what he says about politics since according to you he knows nothing about politics?

[@MrC.1990]

Has he been sacked yet
