Human rights and the Tory policies aren’t “party political” they’re inhumane…

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Presumably BBC will be asked to explain which of its guidelines were broken and why other regular presenters, contributors, comedians, actors who tweet political views are not in breach. Hard to see Lineker coming back now.

Hey guys! Shall we get mad at the holocaust survivor who said the same thing as Gary Lineker ?

[WhyIsItBuzzing @BuzzingWhy]

@Jake_Kanter I mean fair but also the guardian cite “senior BBC officials” is it just that senior BBC staff have no clue what’s actually happening before they go on record with the @guardiannews ?

[John O'Farrell @mrjohnofarrell]

Personally I'd suggest Gary Lineker for a knighthood but I guess he never broke a woman's nose.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

RT if you want to nominate & vote for @GaryLineker for 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

[Andrew Hunter Murray @andrewhunterm]

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

[Rebecca Ridout @beccaridout]

I handed in my notice at my FOH job & I’ll be sad to leave this lovely team. In the last 5 weeks, 20+ FOH have signed up to join @bectu. I’ve been told this is rare and it’s so important. Improvements happened so quickly when we paid attention to our terms. JOIN YOUR UNION ✊🏼

[Nish Kumar @MrNishKumar]

This can only be fair if they replace Linekar with me

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

Dear @BBC. In the interests of fairness could you please now ask @Lord_Sugar to step aside from @bbcapprentice . Otherwise people may wonder if you are truly impartial @GaryLineker

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

Gary Lineker makes a comparison with 1930s’ Germany where dissent is silenced.

And his dissent is silenced.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

A senior TV executive tells me his money is on Jacob Rees-Mogg presenting MOTD tomorrow

[WhyIsItBuzzing @BuzzingWhy]

Don’t watch #MOTD this weekend

[Ian Wright @IanWright0]

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

[Gary Younge @garyyounge]

This is what a culture war looks like. Where are those freedom of speech advocates when you need them?

[WhyIsItBuzzing @BuzzingWhy]

This is exactly the sentiment I have. I love the BBC and will fight for a publicly funded neutral broadcaster. Unfortunately the BBC have lost that standing recently. It our fault ultimately that the BBC don’t feel protected that we will stand with them for impartiality.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

As a strong supporter of public service broadcasting, I want to be able to defend the BBC. But the decision to take @GaryLineker off air is indefensible. It is undermining free speech in the face of political pressure - & it does always seem to be rightwing pressure it caves to
