Alastair Campbell: "This is very good news, as it's complete & total vindication for Gary Lineker... this is a good day for the BBC, b/c it's shown it can stand up to the right-wing creeping authoritarianism... as an extremist fringe has taken over the Tory Party"

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Gary Lineker is returning to MOTD.

If you want a full apology and Richard Sharp’s resignation give this a RT/Like.

Paying my TV licence, means I effectively pay for Fiona Bruce's wages .. I do not want one penny spent on someone who makes excuses for any kind of domestic violence against anyone. she should be sacked immediately.. whose with me ?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Do you think that Fiona Bruce (sat here with her husband who is paid £3.9m a year to advertise for the Conservatives) should apologise, resign from Refuge and resign from BBC Question Time, for trivialising domestic abuse?

[Sam Long Covid Since March 2020 @CounsellingSam]

Dear Richard Sharp, will you be suspending Lord Sugar for inflammatory and partial comments like this one?

This video from 2018 is on the BBC's website and says,

"Gary is not involved in any news or political output for the BBC, and as such, any expression of his personal political views, does not affect the BBC's impartiality."

What changed in 2023? #IStandWithGaryLineker

[Marion Langford 🌠💙🇺🇦 @LallyLangford]

This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker #ImWithGary #MOTD #ToryFascists

[Just Me…Dee🐟 #FBPE #FBPR #GobshiteClub @deelomas]

I’ve rarely asked you to do anything like this for me but Fiona Bruce has really made me furious. Her comments during BBC Question Time were offensive & wholly inappropriate. If the BBC receive enough complaints they really will have to address the issue.

#InternationalWomensDay this week and #bbcqt Fiona Bruce trivalises violence against women:

Stanley Johnsons friends say "it was a one off" that he broke his wife's nose

Disgraceful.
DV is rarely a one off - no quote of the reality from Charlotte Fawcett "he hit me many times"

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

Guess what kids? One-off domestic violence is still domestic violence.

Absolutely disgraceful from Fiona Bruce.

[HENRY MORRIS @mrhenrymorris]

All Gary Lineker has to do to secure his future at the BBC is lend Boris £800k.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

So, this afternoon the BBC gives in to fascists over Gary Lineker’s support for asylum seekers and on David Attenborough’s desire to highlight the impact of climate change. Fascism isn’t a threat. It is happening here and now, with the BBC enabling it.

[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

[gillmorrow @gillmorrow]

@alanshearer good on you

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

When Alan Sugar takes to Twitter to slag off Mick Lynch, that’s fine.

But when Gary Lineker tweets critically of government policy, that’s a breach of impartiality.

Are we all clear on the rules?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

WTF? *Please* BBC, stop capitulating to this cynical, divisive, populist Tory Government - stop letting yourselves be used to stoke these culture wars https://t.co/zwlymnRhbv
