Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

@mrjamesob Yes it’s breaching impartiality if you criticise the Tories. Do you think Richard paid 400,000K to the Tories for nothing? Attack on the Tories is attack on the Tory seniors in BBC .

@mrjamesob BBC : “Hello, is that ChatGPT, we need a presenter for Match Of The Day..” ChatGPT : “"This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the '30s."

@mrjamesob Braveman can incite violence outside hotels by refering to refugees as an invasion & Lineker is kicked off the BBC for calling her out on it. The UK is fucked.

@mrjamesob Please can everyone just take a moment to see this for what it is. The conservatives are over the moon if public opinion swings against the BBC. It will give them a mandate to do with it as they wish. They have THEIR people in place at the BBC and this is the outcome. Evil genius

@mrjamesob I hope any other employee of the BBC and who has a ounce of moral fibre takes a stand with him and shows these clowns they are paid for by the public, well done to all other #MOTD presenters for their actions and hope they stand firm for weeks to come! @GaryLineker stand tall 👏

@mrjamesob @AndrewW66619812 Nadine Dorries has shown the true face of the Tories. She openly recommended that those respecting free speech should turn to non-public service broadcasters. Is the public paying for TV license to watch only censored programs? Attenborough & Lineker OUT; Braverman & Dorries IN?

@mrjamesob When you try to kill an issue by suspending a person but that only fuels the fire more by prompting others to point out the hypocrisy and vent more outrage.

@mrjamesob You are both better than this, @GaryLineker, I along with the majority agree with you, but as soon as you bring 30’s Germany in you are absolutely undermining the horrific events that followed and you both know that is, hope to God, not going to happen.

@mrjamesob I do think many people think he should have taken a stand against the World Cup, Qatar and fifa. Not gone to host it, boycotted it, but there was money involved. As much as I agree with everything he’s saying about the govt, he’s a massively loaded hypocrite.
