'The Police' are trending...
Stevenage police taser old man then kick him in the back smashing head into ground... for nicking a ยฃ1 tin of beer.
The police later issued a statement saying their officers had acted using 'proportionate force.'
Proportionate force? I don't think so.
Well, itโs been an interesting couple of days. Happy that this ridiculously out of proportion story seems to be abating and very much looking forward to presenting @BBCMOTD on Saturday. Thanks again for all your incredible support. Itโs been overwhelming.
Labour: โThe BBCโs cowardly decision to take Gary Lineker off air is an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure. Tory politicians lobbying to get people sacked for disagreeing with Government policies should be laughed at, not pandered to. BBC should rethink.โ
