Gary Lineker Vs The BBC

from The Brown Note · host Julian Brown

The perception of public broadcasters like the BBC being anything but mouthpieces for right wing governments, was laid bare by football commentator and ex-England superstar, Gary Lineker, tweeting that maybe the Tory government's policies towards refugees was just a little bit Nazi-esque. I would've thought he had upheld BBC values by doing so, and wasn't aware a broadcaster that went through World War 2, would require impartiality against fascistic language. But the levels of hypocrisy that have been thrown into light is fascinatingly dangerous for the Tory-BBC love affair.
