3/4 is some figure isn’t it? Any evidence to back that up? Have a quick look at the polls and you will realise just how unpopular this government actually is and how many actually disagree with this

There's nothing like a bit of rampant racism and xenophobia first thing on a morning.
Some of the posts on here are tragically ignorant.

This doesn't look like a native English speaker to me.

Not really no, it's most likely the same person with another new account to show they aren't in a minority.

Yes I wondered that. If he isn't, its not like they can make out its somehow unrelated.

think the BBC will find itself in a legal quagmire if they block him from presenting, i.e. doing his job.

He's currently showing in the listings as presenting it.
Cue the commentary - "And the players take the customary knee to show that there is no place for racism in football; even if we at the BBC aren't allowed to agree with this"

If he didn't present MotD on Saturday, then the BBC would be scoring yet another own goal....no pun intended.

BBC hasn't reprimanded Sugar for spouting his bigoted opinions or Leith for her Brexit drivel. But I suppose as long as views are in line with the bent Chairman and his cronies it's fine.

So you are saying three quarters of the country are racist?
I’m sure it is a lot less than that but let’s say that figure is right, does it make it ok to call people trying to create a better life for themselves savages?
You also mentioned Brexit, how’s that going for you?

they won't be reprimanding Lineker. He isn't bound by any impartiality rules and they can't disciipline him.

They have rules and a process, Lineker's lawyers will have them in a spin, with footage of what the government said to prove his position was factually correct, with a breakdown of how his tweet was accurate, with a breakdown of behaviour by execs in the BBC that has not gone through any formal disciplinary meetings.
It'll cost the BBC millions and terrible publicity to take any action whatsoever. Even putting him on suspension while investigating will be very, very painful for them.
