So I see in the interests of impartiality #BBCLauraK ends with two anti Gary Lineker messages.

This is what it is and was always about:
Philip Davies, MP:
“This pathetic capitulation by the BBC is the start of the end for the licence fee. His epitaph will read ‘Gary #Lineker – the man who destroyed the BBC licence fee’. This is a watershed moment.”
It must be difficult every morning to be of such right wing disposition to have to decide between #migrant bashing and #BBC bashing. But happy days - here they are rolled into one.

Will Black 🍓🍄I wrote this tongue-in-cheek piece ready for Boris Johnson being grilled by a parliamentary committee (from 20th March)
But to fair, he seems no more corrupt than many others at the moment. #Linekergate opened a can of worms that can't be closed

BobbingAlongLooking forward to a new W1A episode featuring the #linekergate storyline.
Sverre Gaarder– Kun ekstreme diktaturer har gjort noe lignende. Hvis det innføres så blir Storbritannia det første siviliserte, demokratiske land som bryter ut av Flyktningkonvensjonen, slår asyladvokat Arild Humlen fast.

In this blog post, I connect #linekergate to lessons learnt from history via the German school system. Going on about the Nazis for no good reason is wrong. But that's not what Lineker did.
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayThis may indicate the narrowness of my attention to the #media, but have just spotted my first incidence of:

Kevy BConsidering the Jewish history of needing to seek asylum from evil and persecution, this is astounding from Stephen Pollard, writing in Jewish Chronicle, no doubt. What a right-wing toad. #MOTD #linekergate
David Kirlew-MorrisThe Gary Lineker story is terrible.
It's a case of clear BBC bias. The Tory controlled BBC want to eliminate any non-Tory views - especially from the most prominent people.
His comments were made on a personal Twitter account and not on BBC programming. So, there's no impartiality problems.
Also, look at this response to a complaint about Chris Packham. Double standards at work here.
