Pretty much had it with the #BBC after this. Apparently #BBCNews platforming #Transphobia Conspiracy Theories and signal-boosting racists like #NigelFarage is “impartial,” but #GaryLineker - in a personal capacity NOT under the BBC’s control - accurately comparing the Government’s racist anti-immigration messaging to a relevant historical event is “partisan” and unacceptable. Joke of an organisation #UKPolitics #UKRacism #ToriesOut #BBCBias https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64920557
Gary Lineker told to step back from presenting Match of the Day

The BBC took the decision after an impartiality row over his criticism of the government's asylum plans.

@TVPaulD
Do we get to a point that nobody with an employment contract can comment on anything in a personal capacity. Only politicians and those not working can comment on politics?! Solidarity from colleagues is uplifting.

@TVPaulD a career making (or breaking) move for whoever wants to present MotD now.
