suhasinih _JordanJBryan Lot of schadenfreude in some quarters.

_JordanJBryan Well done all. Keep it up and let's see Boardroom resignations this week.

_JordanJBryan Fire all of them and hire some real people on half the salary and save 'us real working people' some money for a change. Millionaires vs Millionaire spitting contests are boring us all.....

_JordanJBryan Attack on free speech - today is Lineker tomorrow it’s someone else - so pundits are right to stand up in solidarity

suhasinih _JordanJBryan Ye to hona hi tha.

_JordanJBryan Easy enough. Reinstate Lineker and fire all the 'solidarity' crew. The reason why organisations shouldn't give in to activists is clearly shown here.

_JordanJBryan Excellent trolling of BBC a few minutes ago 👏

_JordanJBryan We love Gary Lineker! 😍 we hate fascists and racist scum!

_JordanJBryan The BBC bosses have really kicked the hornets nest this time and it's going to take some sorting out... and they deserve every single sting

_JordanJBryan Who gives a flying eff about spoilt arrogant multi-millionaires? Seriously?

BBC sorry for 'limited sport programming' after staff stand with Gary Lineker - Football365So 'limited' that MOTD will last for 20 minutes and won't feature commentary... Sounds decent so far hopefully they stick with the new format 👍🏼 The story linked doesn't support the tweet. No mention of no commentary, no mention of it only running for 20 mins.
