Don’t a lot of famous people? I think they think that because they are famous their opinion counts more than others. Wearnt it Daglish that said disabled people are paying for what they did in their previous life? |

Ive more respect for him as a person since he's been on Twitter
He makes a lot of sense and has a good sense of humour
Its the Daily Mail and The Tory party trying to get him sacked....he's right and I hope he keeps his job |

Someone needs to raise their hands and say we won’t stand for state sanctioned racism. Can’t believe the only person in a position of influence brave enough is football commentator.
In the 70s and 80s they had the punks, the hippies, the minors, working class people.
Now we love for what?!? Who is standing up for the majority of us? The government only stand for division, whose side are they actually on? Hs2 cancelled, levelling up, don’t make me laugh, child care whatever, schools nope, police I don’t think so, army what army, nurses? Stop that’s enough now, I would like my vote now please |

Fair play to Gary for going after these Tory Cunts, comparing them to Nazi Germany is OTT but I see what’s he getting at they have racist/facist ideology. The BBC let Gary go in on Qatar and their human rights issues therefore only right they let him speak on human rights here at home? |

It’s free speech regardless of him being a famous celebrity he has every reason to speak up for he believes in…. Just because whom is associated they’re trying to shut him down…. Even if they managed it he wouldn’t stop and fair play to him |

He hasn't compared them to the Nazis, he's rightly said that there is similar language being used by Braverman on this issue that the Nazi party used to demonise the Jewish people at that time..

I can take or leave him. His words may have been a bit dramatic, at least I hope I'm right in thinking that, but he has rattled a few feathers in toryville and they aren't happy. They are trying to turn him into the villan so the heat is taken off of them. |

I support freedom of speech which is one of the 5 freedoms of expression. As a result we have the freedom to voice our opinions of someone elses voiced opinions through discussion. To simply brush someones opinions off with labeling and demonising people without discussion or thought often shows a limited ability to eveolve ones own opinions. Those with limited ability to address others opinions tend to be the ones that follow the crowed mentality.  |

The thing is he's speaking for himself, not for the BBC. I can separate the two. I don't think that just because he works for the Beeb there are certain opinions he can no longer express. It's not like he is passing comment on a subject in his professional field (no pun intended). It's not like a newsreader doing this.
"Football commentator has an opinion on politics" is not really a controversial headline in my opinion. |

I personally can’t see anything wrong with calling out the awful agendas this morally corrupt government keep on perpetuating. We need more people like GL to say what they see. |

Seeing the comments help our own first! Help out veterans! Help our homeless!
The government don’t give two shits about any of that anyway - they just try to distract the public that the boats are the problem, when in fact it’s the corrupt government that’s caused the shitshow in this country
Good on Gary for speaking up |

I think it's only newsreaders who are meant to be impartial although I could be wrong. It's more to do with who's in bed with who. I mean Alan Sugar (bearing in mind his role in the BBC) once said if Corbyn ever gets in as pm he'd leave the country. He was very open about this. Funny that the papers and BBC didn't pull him up on that. |

"Or is he misunderstood . Evening everyone . "
I don’t his actual tweet, which I am guessing 99% of people have actually not read, actually said anything that was not incorrect…
He was not texting in his role as a person who happens to be on the BBC.. he was doing it as a private citizen and the right wing media decided to go after him…
Him talking about human rights abuses in Qatar was fine, but him talking about human rights and international law violations in the uk?… way over the line!!!
It’s lineker this week… it was carol vorderman 2 weeks ago… it’s been Marcus rashford… it’s been Raheem Sterling…. |

If you’re worried about Gary lineker “putting his foot in it” have a quick look at Alan sugar, the billionaire bbc employee, and what bias politically motivated things he’s tweeted.
The outrage at bbc employees is only ever one way. Funny that |

If he tells it how he believes it, then good for him...x gary's head and the crisp packets have a lot in common,, not a lot in the bag except plenty of space,,, he stands to lose £1.35 million a year in salary "
I don't think he's gonna lose anything - does no-one here think that if there was something in his contract, they'd have enforced it already? 3 days on, and nothing except a severe talking-to (allegedly)...remember, he referred to the LANGUAGE used by Braverman, just as Joan Salter did.

Good for him. He's not a political journalist, so there should be absolutely no censoring of legally good communication.
A disgusting government move, condemning others to illegal restrictions and lack of decent support and care. The majority of the UK are decent and deserve better to be done in our name. |

If he had said what he has said on BBC tv, then that would be a different story….
What people are saying is that famous people aren’t allowed to have opinions… and make those opinions public…

He is being demonised for speaking his mind
Braverman saying he caused upset cos her husband is Jewish
Fucks sake
He didn't at any point mention Jews or The Holocaust
He merely drew a comparison between current Government plans on asylum and policies in 1930's Germany
I don't think he is wrong to draw that comparison
The Government are leasing us down a dangerous path
I admire anyone who questions that path regardless of their standing in society
Saying he is unable to have an opinion on politics because he is a sports commentator is an absolute nonsense |

If you stop people in the public limelight for speaking out on the BBC about anything political on their social media accounts then ban Alan Sugar and his tweets for the Tories, ban Attenborough for his views on climate change, their would literally be no one left.
The BBC is funded by the public. Therefore it should be the public who have the say. Not the corporation who has employed peadophiles |

Agreed. I think politicians are making it bigger than it need to be. The more they try to shut him down the more attention they bring to the topic (which ironically is exactly what they don't want lol) |

No studio…no pundits… looks like the players may not be doing post match interviews.. and it looks like the MOTD commentators have said they are not doing it either…

He's a freelancer and using his own private Twitter account. He was not speaking on behalf of the BBC, he was speaking on behalf of himself, in his own time, on a non-BBC platform.
There is no conflict here and I hope he takes legal action against the BBC for cessation of contract.
I hope this opens the flood gates for more celebrities with Twitter accounts to get involved politically. Wall to wall political discussions on all forms of media from all people is healthy.
