‘Red card’ for Lineker

What

on earth has become of us? Gary Lineker voices an opinion about the Calais migrant camp and there are calls for the BBC to give him the boot.

Apparently he should stick to football. We can't have anybody paid by the Beeb to have an opinion on anything else they say.

What utter garbage and tosh. And I only wish it was an isolated incident. But it’s not.

But let’s stick to GaryGate. Yes, he like anybody else should put their hands up if they make a mistake. But that's not the real issue angering the thought police. For them, he should just shut the proverbial up.

They are the self-impor-

They are the self important, self elected guardians of propriety. It’s up to them who can speak and what they can say

tant, self-elected guardians of propriety. They know best. It’s up to them who can speak and what they can say and where and when they can say it.

That is totalitarian nonsense on steroids. The man who never got a straight red in his career should get one now?

You see, it doesn't matter what his opinion is. That really isn't the point.

But attempting to gag or sack someone for having an opinion contrary to theirs and voicing it on Twitter is too much for some jumped-up little idiots. Well, they can go to hell.
