Gary Lineker, was stating a personal viewpoint in relation to the migrant issue. Why has the BBC taken action against him? This is clearly the pressure brought to bear by the Tory government who have mishandled the immigrant crisis that is facing the country. Lineker is being scapegoated for speaking his mind about a humanitarian issue. Shame on the BBC for allowing themselves to be the whipping boy of the government.

Support Gary Lineker!

Protection of Free speech . BBC should not be dictated to by government

Lineker has a right to express an opinion

He speaks more for me than any member of this shoddy government

We cant say we have free speech and then sack someone like Gary Lineker for his personal views. He is highly respected and has higher ethics than this Tory government.

Important that everyone is entitled to their opinion.
