An own goal?

or giving his opinion, as it's sometimes called. Nobody's going to ban anyone from anything on his say-so but it will give the Self-Righteous Brothers of parliament a chance to vent.

[douglas9401]

I suppose they have a slight advantage, having been elected to opine on matters of the day.

[jno]

they are currently opining that Alan Bates should have a knighthood while conveniently overlooking their own complete supineness (with a couple of honourable exceptions) over the last 20 years. Pardon my lack of interest in their opinions.

Now here's an honest-to-God hero - what a man

Twerp.

[andy-hughes]

Succinct - but no less accurate for it.

or giving his opinion, as it's sometimes called.

 Where is lineker's opinion on Russia bombing the *** out of Syria?

Or his opinion on China's reprogramming of Uyghur’s? 

Saudi Arabia's bombing of Yemen?

Maybe he has an opinion on  Islamic State (amongst others) killing Christians for fun in Nigeria?

Or just maybe there's a missing element from the above so his interest is just not piqued?

I recall not that long ago there was outrage that Gary Lineker had not commented on some news story.

[davebro3]

Sack him - end of.

If he wants to meddle in politics let him stand for parliament at the coming GE.

[Hymie]

Is Lineker to be sacked because he made a comment on some news story, or sacked because he did not make some comment on a news story?

[Ken4155]

And, if he was 100% behind Israel's actions, would there be such an outcry against him?

What Lineker does or doesn't say has no effect on my life whatsoever, and i don't quite understand why folk get so het up about the opinions of high-profile people who are not in government or opposition. Their words carry no weight whatsoever.

[royfromaus]

Their words carry no weight whatsoever.
