@OurLogie @IanWright0 They seem to be. Now going ahead without commentators/presenter, apparently.

Hopefully, the footballers and managers will opt out of post-match interviews.

Better still, the public can switch off.

@glennpollin @IanWright0 Totally wrong. He has a right to his views. Provided he isn't pushing them on the BBC, he has a right to express them.

Restrictions apply to those who present current affairs and news for rather obvious reasons.

RT @StephenFarryMP: The horrible and illegal anti refugee Bill is a defining moment in UK politics.

These are my comments to @allianceparty Conference last weekend.

Everyone should be speaking out against disgusting legislation.

@denboy372 They purchased it for iPlayer because they feared the backlash if they'd opted to broadcast it on their main platform. They can prove us all wrong by doing so.

Lineker isn't employed for his political opinions, but for his sports presenting. He's entitled to his own views.

Next, you'll be claiming Lineker never hosted MOTD...

@jamiemathis01 I have no issue with people coherently disagreeing with be regardless of gender.

Your incoherent abuse doesn't meet that criteria.

I've no idea whether you're misogynistic at all, but it's odd you felt the need to bring it up.

I do know you're an ignoramus, however.

Welcome to the Prison Service family.

@mickeygreen1987 @GaryLineker @BBCMOTD But oddly is not stepping back. Some bias is clearly acceptable.

They object to @GaryLineker's likening the language to 1930s Germany, yet silencing those who express disquiet and quashing dissenting voices against those who are trashing our common humanity and global responsibility, they act like propagandists not public servants.

On the same day, we have @GaryLineker "stepping back" from @BBCMOTD for daring to challenge the dehumanising and degrading language the Government is using against asylum seekers - not on the BBC, not as a journalist/newscaster, but a sports commentator on his personal twitter.

#DavidAttenborough and his programmes are the jewel in the crown of the BBC. If him speaking truth annoys those in power, good.

The BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster, not a state broadcaster, an important difference, of which those in charge have lost sight.

I was exceptionally touched to hear of the work the group has recently completed in Turkey after the devastating earthquake. Incredible effort from the team. Thanks to @naomi_long for sponsoring.
