I’m no fan of Lineker, he’s an overhyped, over paid waffler as far as I’m concerned but it’s the double standards that pisses me off. The BBC lost all semblance of impartiality when they appointed Tories, Tim Davie and Richard Sharp to head the organisation and since then, they have demonstrated that they are not only, not impartial but actually a bonafide Government mouthpiece.

The rightwing and racists nut jobs of the Daily Mail are positively creaming themselves today at the prospect of “getting rid” of the “tax dodger” Lineker but conveniently ignore or just laugh off other BBC pundits who spew racist comments on Twitter.
