irrespective, Lineker has now said he wont be shut up, the only people that can remove him from twitter is twitter, and he will continue to speak out. Also, he is not a BBC employee, he is a freelancer, so we will see how it ends up, but my view is that he will be taken off the BBC. Quite frankly, i wont be watching any more shows he is on. He may not have made the comments on air at the bbc, but everyone knows his attitude now, and it is my freedom to not put up with it

Crazy, crazy. And very stupid.

Pointing out nazi-esque rhetoric is not extreme, I'd say that murder and terrorism is pretty extreme but the extreme elements of your side of the aisle have got that covered.

The whole 'Don't criticise the government unless you're in charge of the government' logic is so ****ing sad and bootlicker-y. Anyone can criticise the government, and they should. If you don't like that, I'd recommend moving to North Korea, you'd probably like it there but for the rest of us sane people, we will criticise the government whenever we please, because it's our right to do so.

'You can have an opinion but you can't have a certain job because I say so, because I hate people having freedom of speech unless they're saying something I agree with.'

You don't pay him ****. Such an entitled attitude and one that is completely wrong.

Except those people you're speaking about have lost their jobs for bigotry and discrimination. You want Gary Linekar fired because he has an opinion on the government that upsets you. Let's just skip to the part where you just admit you hate freedom of speech.

What an absolute load of bull****.

You are happy with the BBC basically being a right wing mouthpiece but you are putting on the amateur dramatics pretending this is about impartiality when the BBC isn't impartial in the first place, it's just partial to your opinions and you don't like opinions that run contrary to that.

Just another person doing mental gymnastics to try to justify that they hate freedom of speech.
