Disgraceful & embarrassing decision by the BBC!!..Linekar has no issue going to Qatar last year for the WC…but has with illegals coming in!!🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes bottled it big time

The area of confusion is very much about government interference and pressures on the BBC. He who pays the piper… The whole BBC funding system is corrupt. It should never be just the government who decides on how much money the Beeb gets. That clearly leads to abuse.

yes

The BBC folded like a pack of cards it needs to be defunded NOW

As if he would admit it at all let alone on air

Is it even possible to have a Head of the BBC that has absolutely no political private opinion or past links to any political party? Is there a human like that in existence?

1/2 In the UK we are fortunate to have freedom of speech, but that does not come without consequences. On social media, I can say anything that is not; illegal, immoral or bring my company's name into disrepute. Gary Lineker is being held accountable by his employer for bringing

He should be fired

Its obvious he was under pressure from the govt by the way he answered. Seems like a Tory party propaganda machine or lose your licence. Strong arm tactics or what GaryLineker

Of course not! He is part of the government.

I urge everyone to boycott MOTD if Lineker is allowed to Continue. This is the beginning of a class war and the working classes should be sick of it. Lineker spouts about taking more refugees and working people worried if the can keep warm and put food on the table. Disgusting

Did BBC's Tim Davie and Richard Sharp cave in to government pressure? Both lifelong Tories with Sharp conveniently omitting his close financial ties with the PM to BBC appointments committee. StandwithGary

There are four....

Just another Tory Liar. Failed to answer on Qatar, Alan Sugar, Karen Brady, Chris Packham...

Tory Tim Davie has asked all BBC personnel to refrain from making jokes about Tories or commenting on controversial issues by which he means disagreeing with Government policy. To be independent the BBC should scrutinise the Govt especially when the govt is lying. Needs to go

Of course he did and that is the genesis of the entire issue

He’s just another over paid rapscallion.

More likely to bow to the leftie luvvies trying to bring Lineker & buddies back instead of embracing the opportunity to rid of the costs & revitalise MOTD

Tim Davie is a lying scrote who was Deputy Chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Tories and is only in post to push Tory propaganda on our national broadcaster.

yes

Answer this - what is the difference between Lineker and this 👇

Former Tory member and politician Tim Davie!! GaryGate RefugeesWelcome

He is a de facto part of the govt so just doing his job.

Yes tory racists

Unfollowed

Traitor

Is this the only angle that the lefty liberal staff that run are interested in. Never mind that their wages are funded by a majority of hard working families whose views they completely ignore in their ‘impartial’ broadcasting.

The fear in the presenters voice is palpable… were they afraid of getting sacked for asking questions?

Hopefully this means that the fightback has begun: to redress the imbalance from the past few years of prevailing BBC far left-wing bias, so commonplace as to have been accepted as the 'normal'. Perhaps now you can address the concerns of the 'silent majority' of British people?

Don't now bow to the woke left.

NomiaIqbal He did buckle. Clearly.

We were watching. What's good for Sugar is good for Lineker

Government pressure via someone at the BBC. Not prepared to say who as this is confidential. How did this get into the tweet?

ToryFascistsOut timdavieresign

He needs to resign. He screwed up.

Of course he did.

No one stood up for Matt Le Tissier but a few words on migrants and the snowflake remainers are kissing Linekars feet

Not gna say 'oh yeah' is he? 🤨 Being questioned by the company he runs - the most honest interviews all weekend have been from ex footy players who don't care what they say and are answering honestly and frankly - as opposed to politicians or suits who just lie or don't answer.

No political pressure says chief propagandist Lord Haw Haw to propaganda channel about own propaganda output.

Bollocks yet another tory liar

That's a yes then

😂

SHOULD HAVE MANNED UP AND SACKED HIM ! ALONG WITH THE OTHER ARROGANT SMUG MILLIONAIRES ! WHO NEEDS THEM REALLY !

BBC staff desperate to redirect this to suit.

Why does he let laura kuenzenburger get away with it.

Its obvious that he did. The way he went quiet when it was mentioned if gary had of supported cruela benjamin.

Hashem Albedi brother of Salman Abedi the Manchester bomber says he fully supports Lineker. He says if it was not for support of people like Gary & Care4Calais people like him wouldn't be in the country today.Hashem & 100s of Islamic Extremist prisoners will not be watching MOTD

Nor 'bowed to', he IS tory pressure.

What he puts on is twitter feed as nothing to do with the unbiased BBC

Can you now take the BBC to subscription like Amazon Disney and Netflix so we have the choice to pay to watch you or not !

Those defending the BBC on this will you do the same when you're paying £1000 for a licence to watch TV 🤔

He did. This is their policy so they should never have done what they did

As you claim to be imparital journalists could you now investigate the truth behind his claim?

It's Hard for him to accept that Gary does not share his Tory views. I have lost complete faith in the BBC and it's so called impartiality and this is because of people like Tim Davie and Richard Sharp, it has nothing to do with GaryLineker

BBC turned a blind eye (nay but encouraged them) when Lineker and Alex Scott got political in Qatar. This was on the air. However, Lineker posts a tweet on Tory policy and all hell breaks loose. Reap what you sow!!!

He’s hardly going to yes, though we all know he did!

Don’t forget public pressure 73% of the country do not agree with Linkers comments!!

BBCBias Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be shot in front of their families. Continued to present Top Gear for 5 years. Gary Lineker criticises government proposals on refugees. Taken off air after 3 days. FuckTheTories SackTimDavie

I listened to the interview and he didn't convince me he was telling the truth. I'm sure there will be a tweet somewhere.

BBC

No just left wing middle class

He is part of the government

At least Gary Lineker had the opportunity to negotiate with the BBC, when people on the right get cancelled they don’t even get an opportunity to retract what they said.

Pot. Kettle. Let’s talk black.

Of course he didn't bow to the Government. He was on his knees...

Sounds like MOTD viewing figures was up? So get rid of lineker, wright , and shearer and any other melons that work for BBC.....how many licence fees have we saved for the most financially challenged on that saving alone?

if gary comes back then the other staff should not because he was suspended the others did not they refused to work

if gary comes back then the other staff should not because he was suspended the others did not they refused to work

Hopefully this means that the fightback has begun: to redress the balance from the past few years of prevailing BBC far left-wing bias, so commonplace as to have been accepted as the 'normal'. Perhaps now you can address the concerns of the 'silent minority' of British people?

Latest developments in TheGaryLinekerCostofLivingCrisis! BBC director general Tim Davie was asked: Did you bow to Tory pressure, or did you bend over before there even was any Tory pressure? Mr Davie denied the government pressured him. PreemptiveBowing

Isn't he part of the Tory team?

That’ll be a “yes he did”

The same thing the hypocrites in BBC accuse the Chinese of doing. Western hypocrites.

He didn’t do it because he was told He did it because he wanted to Because TimDavie is ToryScum

Bbc asking itself rhetorical questions is a crescendo to this mess..expecting the first resignations shortly

Tim is a Tory so he’s just doing their dirty work inside the BBC.

Not just Tory. Most of the U.K., regardless of political leanings want a stop to the illegal immigration via the channel. Note, Albanian and North African men are not the same as genuine asylum seekers

Much of the a day was good last night no boring analysis and no wasting time comments, the first time I ever watched the highlights completely, don't bring them back stand with your decision

That’s exactly what he did as he never suspended lord sugar or bbc Laura K

Better watching just football and no over opinionated ramblings from overpaid presenters.

Is a reasonable solution in their eyes; 'say what WE want you to say, NOT your own valid opinion, or you WONT come back'. ? Stick to your Principles GaryLineker, you have the peoples support.

Of course he / they did.

An incredibly weak man. If he had made the guidelines clear and concise on arrival, and stuck to them, none of this would of happened. He loses credibility whatever he does now and so does the BBC. “Freelance” is a weasle get out clause for the “Face of the BBC” utter shambles

The interesting question is how long before he bows to internal BBC pressures to reinstate GaryLineker , and how he will deal with all those who flexed their muscles in “solidarity” with Lineker. Lineker is just the high profile tip of the iceberg of the BBC culture

Andrew Neil suspended?

There was no bowing to pressure. He simply told his mates he'd sort it for them. He's aa corrupt as his friends in power... ToryScum

AI system finds Lineker a danger with extreme radical views BBCBreaking BBCSport

This Tim Davie;

BBC dinosaur organisation time to go

EVERYONE knows now if they didn’t before about how the government protect the elite PAEDOPHILES and in return they protect the government!

Of course he did the bbc has become a Tory mouth piece with a Tory chairman under investigation for givin bo jo dosh

Dont care if he did. Those who have to live amongst em have no voice. The wokes and lib elite take it away. Labour Party only care for their sweeties

Dear STOP continuous, utterly boring Lineker story! It’s not ‘news’ now. You’re just indulging yourselves now! He posted his ignorant personal views -That’s it! Work it out privately & finish! Don’t care how! Cancel football forever if you must 🤞 But just STOP!!!

Do you mean the Tim Davie that was deputy chairman of his local Conservative party?

The level of hypocrisy is outstanding. Just a corrupt Tory media machine. We know there was no bowing to Tory pressure, you did it willingly and happily to support the Tory party

Bunch of rich pundits out is step with the majority on this issue, but because Gary says all immigrants should just be allowed in the left claim it should be done. Fine he can have an opinion but why are the opinions of millions not listened too where are the pundits then? 🙄

How to fix this👇

Final nail in the coffin for me. I’ll get my news elsewhere from now on. BBCPolitics are just mouthpieces for the Tory party. Our version of Russia Today. Bye bye 👋

I'll just keavr this here

Sacked Tim Davie & Richard Sharp yet?

BBC GET TIM OUT! The BBC is here to serve us! We want GaryLineker not those rats you have at the top! 🐀

One 0'clock news today - 'GL criticised Tory policy.' HE DIDN'T, how long before you get it right? He compared the language. Sloppy lazy journalism does more damage than Lineker tweets.

Of course he did Tory scum 😡😡

Give the boy a chance. The government haven't informed him of his knighthood yet.

Why is it only tweeter users that have a problem with this, ,,,,oh yeh

*if*? - of course he did - he's owes his job to them after all...

Well done BBC, this whole mess because a Tory snowflake didn't like being called on her schemes totally didn't expose the leadership of the Beeb as Tory-installed stooges. You look way more impartial now 😆

Of course he did ,what a silly question!!!

Asked by a BBC Reporter. How very safe.

No they did not have too as they are as an organization already politically biased, that why this whole thing us such a farce!

The only way to de politicise the BBC is to remove the Conservatives and their nazi policies from power.

Nazi Brexit Britain

Of course he did, the same with dropping Lord Attenborough's programme!!

I’m struggling to believe him but I’d like to believe he’s telling the truth as the alternative is so awful.

So these guys are asking themselves the question and will be told by the govt how to answer? It certainly had the feel of a Tory spin.

Apparently he is black now.

How can he take stupid action against Lineker under a pretext of impartiality when the bbc board are full of Tories driving the tory agenda. So much for bbc freedom

The BBC belong to the British people. Why Not have a referendum about who should stay and should go? Gary Lineker or the Governing body? This is the “so called”impartiality you keep singing it to our ears!

Did he arrange an under the table loan for the then PM?

So he either bowed to pressure ... Or is a fool. So either way...

Yes, Tory shill.

I will be deleting all bbc apps can't have nazi propaganda on my phone I suggest everyone else follows suit

Big bellend looks like the bbc are brainwashing Britain with Tory views

He doesn't have to because he's placed by the Gov and does their business on a daily basis.

Of course I didn't bow to Tory pressure and Cruella Braverman gave me permission to say that.

No single person is bigger than the team (organisation) ‘woke’ Lineker of all people should know and recognise this, being part of a team in football….do the right thing Lineker

SackTimDavie

So good to see the BBC at last standing up to the prevailing left-wing bias of the past few years. It has just been so very, very boring.........

🤔

Richard Sharp OUT!

I want the RN to use extreme force to deter Gul'dan and his horde, but if you're the top paid presenter, and you support that Xbox gameplay, you still shouldn't be saying it. Can't wait for Warhammer 2023.

:)

BBC must make up its mind about what employees can and cannot say. Lineker started the World Cup coverage in Qatar with a description of human rights in the country, and discussed it with the pundits!!

He never answered the actual question: what makes Gary's tweet different? And he couldn't answer it, because the answer is: Gary is right and Tory in disguise cannot sąy it

He is the government pressure

Off course he did we need to get rid of all the Tories at the top of the BBC.

Made up stories,actors playing their part.Does anybody think presenters make comments about government policy without advice or motives

So without Gary thd viewing figures went up. What does that say about his importance to the BBC. If he does want to follow the rules ghen time he left......

Of course he did.

Utter nonsense. Lord Sugar, Andrew Neil, Clarkson - all pro Tory and their political tweets are fine, even though Neil is a political broadcaster. Lineker criticises the government and he’s suspended. ‘Impartial organisation’ my arse!

The big lie

He's lying.

Lmao, like there was 'pressure', likely just a sidenote in an otherwise lovely phone call between old school chums

well he's not going to admit is he? Of course he did.

I want the RN to use extreme force to deter Gul'dan and his horde, but if you're the top paid presenter, and you support that gameplay, you still shouldn't be saying it.

Because he's going to say 'Yes, of course we did.', isn't he. FFS! 🙄

Should resign, shocking abuse of power at the highest BBC level. Complete Tory bias. Tim Davie, what was factually wrong with what Gary Lineker said You bowed to the right wing media frenzy. Coward

We all knows he's a Tory puppet. If I saw him fellating Sunak, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

The impartial BBC with a non impartial leader, time for a change at the top not on MOTD

How about the pressure to coincidentally run a day of stories about rising childcare costs just days before Hunt announces additional funding. Literally laying the groundwork for Government policy.

Why would he have to? He a Tory just like they are and not just that, he's also a Tory donor. Impartial? Don't make me laugh.

Just think how much your saving by not having any of them back. It proved yesterday they weren’t needed.. Then, You could then scrap the tv licence.

Liar why the difference with this FACE of the BBC?

Do you honestly think he is going to say yes

He is government pressure.

🤔

The same people having a go at Davies impartiality (& its questionable) are the same people who are saying Lineker can say what he wants? (as high profile BBC journalist he cant) You cant condemn one without the other unless of course you're a hypocrite

Selected emails by the anti Gary brigade.

Viewing figures for MOTD up by 500.000. Says it all. Bin Lineker.

BREAKING: MOTD viewing figures UP 500,000 without the 3 stooges.

In a round about way the answer is a resounding Yes

we never trust your masters and you think we trust puppets like you .

Liar.

He didn’t have to - he’s a Tory, too…

You mean the Conservative government, who according to Sunak, have no interest or involvement? Despite 36 tory MPs writing to Tim Davie demanding an investigation on Lineker.

BBCMOTD IanWright0 alanshearer You see this is why those overpaid alleged football presenters need dismissing..MOTD will go on, and with increased viewing figures. It’s time for change..SackGaryLineker SackLinekerBBC

Keep going Gary and all his fellow presenters, who’ve done more for the UK people both representing their country and in presenting accurately then any conservative party ever could! We (the UK taxpayer) are all very tired of the current politicians BS!

Of course he didn't, it's ridiculous to think he bowed to Tory pressure. He was only doing a favour for his chums in the Tory party and his chums running right wing rags like the Torygraph and Mail. Totally different things. BBCBias

Duh

FACT: Over the last 20years, 'BBC News' have been nothing except a form of inaccurate entertainment whereby no real factual content is delivered and attempts to pull on the emotions of its viewers, sacrificing real facts of global news...

T Davie - BBC has never been 'Impartial' under him. His orders from the dishonest Conservative MPs (J Hunt) should be concentrating on helping the UK taxpayer instead of trying to silence freedom of speech and help expose MPs for their borderline criminal activities.

Well no shit Sherlock....

Why would he bow? He is a Tory.

He did. He sucked their cocks. And he even swallowed.

This row is all about being sensitive in referencing your views. Free speech is valid no doubt about that. Be mindful on what to use to reference. Using a very sensitive matter in referencing is totally wrong.

If he said he supported the Government he wouldn’t have been cancelled . The BBC is not impartial, it bows to pressure from the Government.

Yes.

Got to go. The BBC is leaving itself open to attack from all sides. Everyone has an agenda. Much double standards and hypocrisy flying around. Short memories. The board have screwed up, they have to go. For the sake of the BBC. Otherwise it will end up looking like Murdochs FOX

The BBC has turned into a mouthpiece for the current government. Almost like the tweet in question had a valid point.

Last night motd viewers up 20%. Speaks volumes. Have a massive clean out and start again.

Lineker Shearer Wright All of a sudden have morals Didnt have in the last world cup sat in studios in stadiums where slave labour killed hundreds making them Same country who kick gays off bridges and stone and behead people Obviously the money mattered more. Sack all 3

He 100% did

And he said no !

Ha! He is 'government pressure'. Stop trying to sell us that ‘impartial’ nonsense. It’s demeaning.

Of course he did 🧐

I think everyone now knows & understands the political leanings of senior BBC executives &, as the Gary Lineker episode, has illustrated, their influence on the Corporation’s impartiality. I think he therefore agreed with Tory unhappiness rather than bowed to pressure.

Presenters that take a fat pay cheque from an organisation that jails people for not paying for an enforced TV tax, presenters that were happy to work in Qatar, an oppressive country who used slave labour to host a World Cup. Total hypocrites, sack them all.

Not a great deal iof support in these replies is there You see that's the trouble with corruption and conflicts of interest. People will stop believing anything you say Not good for a 'news' channel Untill openly tory supporters are removed from the top, you won't be trusted

I wonder how long will it take for an 'independent' investigation into the whole sorry affair finds that BBC can no longer function as a publicly owned corporation and needs to be sold off. As the public have lost confidence in the organisation.

And he is impartial! Former Conservative Politician.

Laura Kuenssberg impartial my arse!

Ask a Tory whether he bowed to Tory pressure. And then take his ‚No’ as credible answer. What sort of journalism has this become?

'Pressure'? It was probably a 'Take care of it old chap' over a brandy. He's doing the Tories bidding because he's one of them, part and parcel. No pressure needed.

Tim Davie needs to grow a backbone and sack them all.

In normal journalism the headline would be about the answer, not the question. But as he didn't answer the question, the headline is about the question.

Of course he did, and without a second's hesitation. Little Tory lap dog, now whining and dripping slaver.

'anyone who knows me...' We all know you Tim and what you stand for.

You can have Lineker or the licence fee. Simple.

The public is backing the BBC on this. Perhaps not on twitter as that is full of champagne socialists and left-wingers but on other platforms the support of this suspension is overwhelming.

Get him out.

Utterly embarrassing, not a single truth told!

His stuttering failure to answer questions with any sort of clarity makes it somewhat ironic that a man in charge of a media institution doesn’t appear to have an ounce of media training. Either that or he knows that he’s been rumbled.

Has a FOI request gone in yet for all the communications between the government and the BBC yet? I’m sure you would want to release them so he can prove his point.

Then he talked out of his arse!

As if that even needs answering.

It's his permanent position, on his knees

Lineker just isn't worth the trouble, he's not even a good presenter

Click never on all their questions and use any name you want to. It is none of their business what your name is. Mr A Hole 🕳

Of course not!! I just puckered up and kissed arse!! I’ve got a six figure salary to protect after all…Gary who🙀

Of course he bloody did!

Oh dear, Gary Lineker is a known loud mouth and he is opinionated, but to complete the Governments proposal to control illegal entry into the U.K. as akin to Nazi Germany in the 30s, is over the line. All he has to do was apologise - as did Jeremy Clarkson over the Merkel case!

The bbc has gone from being a world class broadcaster to being Conservatives version of RT.

Can’t you see your utter hypocrisy ? The BBC on Gary Lineker in December 2018: 'Gary is not involved in any news or political output for the BBC and as such, any expression of his personal political views does not affect the BBC's impartiality.'

This implies he needs to be pressured. He's been appointed BBC boss because he's already a Tory.

Tory Stooge says what… ToriesDestroyingOurCountry

He should consider the viewer who pay wages of these commentators by paying a licence fee.These commentators showed no consideration for the licence payer. Presenters more worried about image and politics. Maybe time to privatise BBC and when you go down the Nazi road you’ve lost

1- 'we want to see Gary Lineker back on air' 2- 'We are not under pressure from gov, Tories or right wing media' If both are true, simply put Lineker back on air. Who would he upset? (1 might be true, I don't believe 2 is.)

Was he asked, 'did you get the call from Downing St reminding him who put him in the job?'

Stupid question.

Of course he did, BBC are pro Tory propaganda

He may not have bowed to government pressure, but he certainly bowed to Tory opinion. Which is equally bad

This is like the criminal being on his own jury.

Hardly likely to say yes is he. His impartiality is in question regardless as he’s a failed candidate for the Conservatives as a councillor for the in Hammersmith and ith in 1993 and deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservatives. Yeah impartial.

Any sleaze and Johnsons name is usually somehow involved.

Hate ppl with such a supercilious smirk..

Of course he did, but he's not going to admit it is he.

It is very difficult to tell when a Tory is bowing to Tory pressure to do something they'd choose to do anyway

Tory Tim Out

‘Anyone that knows me’……… always a great line to use when you know you have been caught with your trousers down.

Probably volunteered

VAR : Lineker 1 BBC 0

Fire him he’s a tool!!

Tory BBC interviewing the Tory BBC about the Tory BBC. 🤣🤣🤣

I do hope that Lineker and the rest of the overpaid armchair ex footballers remain sacked. The program last night was much better without them.

Two faced is what comes to mind and he’s not listening to the Public ( They Don’t Want Him Back)

Kudos to Tim Davie.

He takes orders from the Tory government.

Err,the BBC selling its top job for a loan is not a scandal, but a freelancer telling the truth is? Pull the other one..

It’s really about Liniker trying to prove he can do what he wants as he wants The BBC rules disapplied, as he considers himself freelance and therefore only pays corp tax. HMRC say different, and demand he pays £5m income tax. Clearly the rules apply. Liniker is tax dodging.

Short answer: Yes. Davie is a weak and feeble Tory plant.

He's a tory he's doesn't need to.

One set of rules for one occasion and one set of rules for another. Surely, that's not ok? Qatar: it was sports only, no mention of politics or human rights violations. England: sport presenter uses TV show to express his political views. It's a polarised society.

'I am Tory pressure'

DefundTheBBC the wider issue here, nobody in public funded work should be paid above £500k a yr 🤷‍♂️ it’s just more snouts in trough running riot at ordinary £30k a yr expense 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

GaryLineker suggesting a British government are Nazi’s isn’t an issue? We’ve had 2 MP’s killed in the last 7 years with countless others having death threats made gain at them. Words matter. His words will be interpreted as call to action for extremists looking for legitimacy.

Of course he did. The BBC has been working to the Tories political agenda for ages now. Look at the news articles - it’s all propaganda and doesn’t represent real news. Boris’ mate is the Chairman ffs. It’s a despicable Corporation; once a perverts paradise, now a Govt puppet.

Go

Did he say...No I agree with them

He could do with some media training, always looks very pleased with himself even when he's fucking things up. Wonder if he knows anyone who could provide it...

Would you buy a car from that man?

BBC Boss and former Conservative party politician? Didn't have to bow to Tory pressure, him, Sharp and Gibb are Tories and are causing massive damage to the reputation & trust of the BBC

Of course he did. It’s a boys club.

‘So Tim, as an ex-Tory candidate did you bow to your party’s pressure, just in case you want to run again?’

So difficult to believe him and take him seriously - it’s probably the slight smirk and barely concealed smile that’s making me feel uncomfortable.

Seriously, whoever runs that twitter account for the beeb has some serious balls and a good sense of fumour

The BBC management brought this on themselves. All they needed to do was to tell these whining Tory MPs was go F**** themselves.
