Not sure I want him for PM but I do agree about the support. That's good to see

Meanwhile, Gary Lineker the TV presenter reaches out to millions with his views. Many agree and stand in solidarity with him too.
Arise Sir Gary!
It seems the public are far more supportive of Gary Lineker than our fascist government.

Viewing figures for MOTD were up half a million last night.
Rubber necking
Could be.
Better program without the pundits babbling on and on.

Could also be people showing support. Watching it even though they wouldn't normally.

The Spectator on Lineker:
Perhaps we should see what is happening to Lineker as part of an encouraging wider trend. Over the last 18 months, we’ve seen a kind of Augean Beeb stable cleansing as a succession of high profile presenters increasingly unable to disguise unfailingly liberal sensibilities have departed. Lineker’s name now appears likely to be joining those of figures such as Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, Lewis Goodall, Nish Kumar and Andrew Marr.
This is a good thing. No one is claiming these people should not be allowed to say what they think about anything, not least on political matters. That is their inalienable right in a free society. Instead, what is being demonstrated is that – much like royalty (which is almost what they are) – high profile BBC presenters can no longer demonstrate impartiality and at the same time take lavish state-funded coin. Long may that last.

We’re finding out who really runs the BBC

careful what you wish for Andy. Once you have all people spouting the same pre approved scripts your freedom will be goneThe Spectator on Lineker:

And no comment about Tim Davie not being at least suspended until investigated fully.
Impartiality? not that I can see

Maybe. The issue is most likely the pressure from the Government

What makes Gary comments even sicker is 7 Jehova witnesses were murdered in Germany this very weekend.
Every European country, even Germany, had those who did not believe in the Nazi ideology and who were willing to die for their beliefs. Perhaps no other group stood so firmly in their beliefs as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Hitler felt particularly threatened by this strong group of Christians because they, from the very beginning, refused to recognize any God other than Jehovah.
When asked to sign documents of loyalty to the Nazi ideology, they refused. Jehovah’s Witnesses were forced to wear purple armbands and thousands were imprisoned as “dangerous” traitors because they refused to take a pledge of loyalty to the Third Reich.
