So does that mean Alan Sugar and the Tory peers/donors should also now go from the BBC?

If they are warned yes.

I would be more in favour of the BBC losing its license fee and to be self funding which would probably means adverts.

And therefore under THEIR rules should be impartial. There a numerous examples of them playing for one side. Linekar’s views are totally his own and is not a political pundit. The moment the government start controlling the media we all have a problem.

But you don't allow anyone on here to say what they like do you ?

You use censorship to ban people using comments that you consider inappropriate..

Indeed, there are site rules that are in place since it started, it's a moderated platform!

If someone reports a post, a moderator will deem it appropriate or not to complete the report.

You'll find it a lot more relaxed here than in many other places, but I'm failing to see your comparison?

A household name on Twitter is a lot different than Dave on The Shed End from Crawley!

Exactly.

But you will censor and ban that Dave from Crawley from this site.

Even though up there you agreed that people should be allowed to say what they like .

I don't disagree with moderation.

And there are laws in place to prevent people saying " what they like". 

Anyway, social media has all the hate and vile comments to satisfy anyone.

Thanks for your reply.

 
I'm on a politics forum and there they advise Lineker has been invited to different politics shows in the past to debate his points, he has refused and prefers posting on twitter to all his followers........

I was agreeing with Timeto, that if Gary can have a platform to tweet his views, then so should Hopkins. You can't have one rule for one and not the other.

People can't just 'say what they want' regardless of where it's being posted. Free speech should be a thing, but there is a line!

The point is, either the BBC is impartial or it isn't.

If it is, then all the Tory cronies working at the BBC should be fired as well. 

If it isn't, then Gary Lineker should be able to say what he likes. 

Right now, 'impartiality' is only enforced on anyone critical of the government, which essentially just makes the BBC a state propaganda outlet for the Tory party.

Well VAR will decide if that line is crossed.

For the first time in ages I was looking forward to MOTD only to hear it's just a 20min show tonight !!

I'm on a Chelsea forum what has that got to do with anything.  From you're previous rhetoric in the past a right wing forum that's up to you but they aren't going to say anything in Lineker's favour and how do they know what show's he's been invited on ?. How about this then.

Apparently another sports channel is offering him a job, I hope he takes it and can then tweet all he likes as it won't be funded by tax payers so he has no obligation to temper his words.

Though doubt he will earn as much.

I met a BBC journo once in cafe and he said he would love to talk about some of things going on yet it would cost him his job.

He would command just as much probably more he’s the most well known sports presenter in the UK, people who don’t watch football knows him.

 
The single funniest thing about this is the government pushing the BBC to stop any of its employees being able to question them is literally a fascist/nazi ideology,like if using the media for propaganda and censorship.

They've basically just proven Linekers point, the f**king imbeciles.
