Interesting.

Fwiw, im sure you don't know much, if anything about her presenting football and punditry skills, well i'll tell you honestly, she isn't a bad person, but she's annoying and mostly wrong.

But she gets the job for 3 reasons, she ticks boxes at the far right BBC. Black, Woman, Gay.

You will read that as me hating her, being a right wing racist etc. But the fact of the matter is, if ANYONE was good at a job, their race and sexuality don't mean a thing to me.

If my television identifies itself as a microwave, does that mean that I don't have to pay my TV licence?

The BBC need to backdown and apologize for their actions here.

They have no right to suspend someone for having an opinion, it's not a dictatorship.

I care about freedom of speech, it's honestly a shame that the BBC doesn't.

So who's presenting?

Rylan?

Which should tell you that this is nothing but an orchestrated distraction story. Lineker is probably paid to be in on it.

What they did to us with Covid is the real story they want to go away.

The BBC’s remit says it is “committed to achieving due impartiality in all its output” and that “this commitment is fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences”.

As for Twitter use, it says: “The external activities and public comments, for example on social media, of staff, presenters and others who contribute to our output can also affect perceptions of the BBC’s impartiality.”

The BBC also has specific rules over the use of social media for all employees, including freelancers.

These are:

Always behave professionally, treating others with respect and courtesy at all times: follow the BBC’s values
Don’t bring the BBC into disrepute

If your work requires you to maintain your impartiality, don’t express a personal opinion on matters of public policy, politics, or ‘controversial subjects’ (as defined by Ofcom)

Don’t criticise your colleagues in public. Respect the privacy of the workplace and the confidentiality of internal announcements

Gary Lineker has previously argued that he is a freelance sports presenter and added that the BBC rules "only apply to people in news and current affairs".
