The only thing I have in common with Gary Lineker is that @rogermosey was once our boss. Do read Roger’s insightful piece on Linekergate 👇🏼 “From the first outbreak of the more political Lineker, the BBC was feeble and should have drawn a red line and told him to stop, and he should have complied. Instead, there were years of intermittent warfare about what was acceptable and what was not”
As we wait for confirmation about Gary #Lineker leaving the BBC, here’s my Sunday Times piece which fills in more of the story. thetimes.com/article/47e57b8…

'The BBC is so impartial it hires a guy whose pro-IDF book was promoted by none other than Benjamin Netanyahu .... Raffi's job is to filter the BBC's news output so it never gets too honest about Israel.' - @NormalIslandNws on Linekergate normalisland.co.uk/p/gary-li…

Same, I have full solidarity with her. Had enough presenters done a Linekergate, the very same Linekergate most of them were praising. I would have had the highest of respect. Always spouting… First, they came for… BS that they believe in it.

She also had a problem with footballers taking the knee, racially discriminated against Ian Wright, during Linekergate, has a history of a litany of racially divisive social media posts, but there’s nothing remotely racist about her latest comments? Sure, Hutch.

Couldn't even apologise over the Asian/Aslan error. Also, why is there no huge right-wing outrage shouting 'Stick to teaching' a la Linekergate....?

This is not what Gary said… He said the rhetoric from our current Tory politicians is very similar to that of politicians in 1930s Germany… He is of course correct and people know, if they bother to study history, what that rhetoric turned into… #LinekerGate

This situation is absolutely ludicrous. #Linekergate 2.0
The decision to pull Clive Myrie from News At Ten because he'd been hilarious on Have I Got News For You? earlier the same evening is important. It shows how successfully vicious right-wing papers have cowed BBC executives in to making decisions based on fear of being attacked.
