Mary Berry (sugar tax), Michael Portillo (political column in a newspaper), Nadia what's her name off bake off (the bombing of Syria) Hugh double barreled that does the country cooking show (Green Party activist), Karen Brady (menopause, protected charactaristic.......or not)......... for starters.

All have spoken publicly on political issues, not sure if any of them ever got suspended.....don't remember reading about it.

You'll notice some are reactionary, some are pinko, tree huggers.

Maybe they were suspended and I missed it.

Maybe they have less twitter followers.

Mebbe his train programmes have stopped?

Why don’t you tell us if your saying that is being allowed whilst Gary’s being treated so poorly.

I'm saying Lineker does not appear to have enjoyed the same treatment as other BBC wage earners.

Ah humanitarian the new buzzword. You’ll have to give me the examples of the statements when the policy hasn’t been applied equally.

Humanitarianism now a "buzzword" oh dear we're back to 1930s Germany.

Or indeed the direction 2023 UK is heading,

Its weird how certain people find pejorative connotations in the most innocuous of words.
"Humanitarian" and "social justice" are two that immediately spring to mind.

Yeah the UK is now like Germany in the 30’s behave.
