I have no time for Gary Lineker. In my opinion he should be sacked. He works for a public company and should concentrate on what he is paid to do, not pontificate on political issues.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH, I support GaryLineker . If you can't speak out on how you feel then what can you do. And the fact BBCNews thinks its the biggest news in UK show how they are being run, when their Chairman is sorted a loan out for BorisJohnson

Lee Anderson does not like having a mirror held up to his party, so they can see themselves for what they are.

That is the same Lee Anderson who says it would be right to put refugees in tents in camps?

Kettle calling pot.

Stick to football you’ve got no idea what this country is going to be like in 20 years over run by the world’s unwanted this country is full and soon be broke but you are okay with your millions there’s no doubt your trying for a knighthood and this country will give it you!

Just stick to football Gary. Its something that you know about

Who rattled 30pLee’s cage then?

Spoken too for telling the truth...interesting. Guess that's Client journalism from the BBC at work again. 🙄

U turn 30p Lee

Gary did nothing wrong. FREEDOM OF SPEACH GUYS.

But Lee Anderson is the East Midlands biggest pillock so why do we care what he thinks?

This sums it up..

Well gosh, if 30pLee says something then it must be right.

LeeAndersonMP_ can’t criticise anyone when he and his party are just the NF in posh suits.

Freedom of Speech and I agree with how government are acting at the moment.

Criticism by 30p Lee is a badge of honour for anyone who isn't a cretin

“Criticised”. You mean rudely insulted don’t you? He seems to think that free speech applies only one way.

He needs to be sacked by MOTD
