Default Outspoken BBC star Gary Lineker "Suspended" after using "Nazi Germany" in a tweet







[He has since confessed he became emotional
when he heard other presenters were refusing
to replace him or appear on air in support,
admitting to crying in the back of a taxi after he
discovered co-hosts Ian Wright and Alan Shearer
had declined to appear without him.

Many employees at the BBC have
to be politically neutral on social media under
guidelines which apply to
full-time members of staff.
The BBC is said to be reviewing its policies
in the wake of the Lineker scandal,
but so far no changes have been announced.]

Personally I don't believe people should be losing their jobs because they held a controversial opinion on Social Media.

What kind of Dystopian society are we creating where it's actually become common place to even do that? It's disgusting.

He shouldn't have been suspended for a bloody tweet, no matter how stupid it was.

Was this M&S in Islington? I'm guessing it was somewhere like that.

His tweet was misinformed hyperbolic champagne socialist lies - why anyone would clap that?
