Why did BBC management not stick to their own guidelines as per below for @GaryLineker ? Political pressure?

Well spotted @CatLaw75!

The @BBC in 2020, & again in 2021, confirmed the personal @Twitter accounts of freelancers (eg Lineker, Packham, & Andrew Neil) are "unrelated to" the BBC, & "the BBC is not responsible for its content".

Models of independent governance for public service broadcasters exist. Let’s adopt one. See http://www.Ukccd.org submissions.
RT @JohnSimpsonNews: The BBC’s current problems stem from the fact that it doesn’t have sufficient defences against politicians who want to impose their control over it. When the new Charter is negotiated in the next few years it’s got to give the BBC (and its finances) a lot more protection.

This is worth remembering….
RT @Lachlan_Edi: Only three days ago the BBC said Lineker had not broken the rules. He was not broadcasting his views on the BBC. He is a sports presenter, not working in news and current affairs. Like Alan Sugar and Jeremy Clarkson, he is allowed to express his opinions.

RT @campbellclaret: Amid the noise re @GaryLineker another disastrous move by the BBC in response to the Tory government political pressure and cuts — the abolition of BBC Singers and cuts to BBC orchestras. This is another resonance with 30s Germany — the assault on culture and the arts. 1/2

RT @stellacreasy: The BBC is censoring Gary Linekar and David Attenborough for fear a tweet and programme about rewilding undermines their impartiality, but standing by a Chair who parliament itself has said hasn't told them the whole truth about his loans to Boris.

Funny old world isn't it..
