What about a death penalty shootout?

Felt sorry for the relatively new BBC DG , between a rock and a HARD PLACE. Doing his job to suspend Lineker, to investigate if Lineker's social media interaction is in breach of BBC guidelines, especially as such an insensitive and divisory comment. At least now all these overpaid presenters will be aware of those guidelines and if they can't keep to them, they can resign or be fired. Plenty of people would love the opportunity of those overpaid jobs.

@@janicebirch7522 lets hope BBC dont renew their cuntracts when they expire !

Have they now made themselves unsackable with this one out all out policy? It doesn’t bear thinking about. If only they could show such determination and solidarity about something more worthwhile.

"It's because of the special way the BBC is funded." Which means what the audience want, in this case football highlights without all the extra bullshit, simply doesn't matter. We can't take our business elsewhere because, unless you are a scrounging benefits claimant with no assets worth chasing, we all have to buy a TV licence.

What an opportunity missed .

And it's licence payers paying for the privilege of mr Linakers opinions and arrogance

Because they are a woke propaganda machine, its job is to help brainwash the public.

Has he announced yet about how many `boat families` he is paying for?

Slander much? One is a dead kiddy fiddler the other is not.

You mean Linker .?? Game on . I wont be tuned in to MOD , anymore ..

I am afraid Lineker works for the BBC by appearing on a BBC program. Doctors tried to pull that stunt by working for certain medical centres and then trying to claim they were self employed. Government did not buy it then and would not buy it today. If would be different if Lineker owned a production company that then hired him and they produced the show but they do not.

Don't see lawro on BBC much these days . Great defender. Great co commentator

I agree but for the fact that you put it down to lack of intelligence....I think smug arrogance is the real culprit and he will be even worse now that the BBC have backed down....

In my opinion I think he's well aware that this is a very divisive issue with strong views on both sides. I think he sees himself as the good guy, and he does like to virtue signal, but I believe that these people who say 'open the borders' are actually irresponsible and actually quite d@ngerous.

If you felt personally hurt by what he said, you should probably ask yourself why. It's probably because you were spouting the rhetoric he was talking about. When you can't deal with the message, attack the messenger. And yeah, I'm saying you're a racist. You're the common, run of the mill, uneducated, English racist with ugly teeth. You shouted "take back control" a couple of years ago and it's "stop the boats" this time.

@@craighart9278 I agree, plus it stirred up a lot of hate particularly in Suella Bravermans direction & it would have offended people that had family members destroyed by the Nazis. Lineker is either thick, doesn't care or just did it because he can.

Ian Wright is ok but the others on there are dreadful and very boring.

Liverpool's defence hasn't been the same since they were in it. IIRC. Hansen was on a helluva lot more than Lineker is today and he'd had enough. Lineker has become 'the highest paid' at the BBC by default, as people have left and been fired - Clarkson was on a lot more, and was the highest paid after Hansen left, and both were on more than the guy running the place. It;s only by a technicality that Graham Norton isn't named as the highest paid at the BBC, but the fact is, they pay his 'organisation' a lot more (several millions) than they pay Lineker.

Shearer has to be the worst pundit with an unconvincing grin,

And most of them would be just as capable at it too. Loinacre has passed his sellby date IMHO.

Very droll John but so true..

Laugh AT him you mean. He’s pathetic

He certainly was.

110% ah think you’ll find

My problem with your comment Christopher is that Lineker's tweet was just talking common sense, it did not offend anybody, apart from maybe Suella Bravaman and a few ultra right wing media people. Why should he be silenced, he was not using the BBC to air his views. He was defending the rights of refugees who were fleeing persecution, against the government's policy of trying to get rid of them because they are a nuisance. Why is it okay for Ukrainians to be given a right to stay in the UK, but not for Syrians? It makes little sense.

Even free speech and opinions have reasonable limits. If Mr. Lineker’s grotesque false comparison is interpreted as referring to a specific, identifiable person - as many believe - then the suggestion of following Nazi ideals levelled against an identifiable person may lead us to consider the possibility that the comment is defamatory, which takes us beyond the limit of acceptable free speech. Although inclined against finding this to be defamation, I have no doubt the question received consideration at the BBC.

@@luckybag6814 Is it a false comparison though, personally I don't think that it is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edmlnNepla65qp8.html

@@CamcorderSteve You are mistaken, Steve, because Mr. Lineker's words have offended a great many people. If you need proof of this, read these KZfaq comments. You claimed he only offended Sue Braverman but Lineker has offended 1000000s by comparing the Government's new legislation of protecting our borders from illegal migration to the Third Reich's Nazi Germany. Yet, Steve, you claim it to be "common-sense". You reveal, Steve, to the world - by your words, that you have no grasp of what is common sense. And Steve, Ukrainian real- war refugees - cannot be compared to illegal migrants who, before, they land at Dover, throw their mobile phone into the sea to prevention the tracing of their details. Steve, you ate conflating two different issues.

@@christopherbriscoe8665 I have read many KZfaq comments about this and I am saddened by many of them as you can imagine. I think that many of them who have sided with the likes of Dan Wootton do not fully understand what the tweet was about. He did NOT compare the government's policy with that of Nazi Germany, he was comparing the language used as that of Germany in the 1930s, two vastly different things. According to this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edmlnNepla65qp8.html what Lineker said was true. To demonize genuine refugees by calling them criminals, rapists and all the rest of it is shameful. Why not give these people a safe and legal way of getting to these shores and that should put an end to them having to get into these boats and risking their lives, and put an end to these vile gangs making loads of money on the back of these unfortunate people. I do agree with you Christopher, that there are a few people who are taking advantage coming here when there is no need for them to come here, a lot from Albania for example, but they should not be stopping the genuine refugees who are desperate to be given a chance to turn their lives around.
