So only around a week after agreeing to abide by its editorial guidelines until the BBC's review is complete it seems Gary Lineker has published another political tweet (doesn't mention Boris by name but I think the timing makes it pretty clear who he's referring to!):
https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/16381527493...
Again many (including me) will agree with what he said - and defend as a principal his right to speak out - but nevertheless it does rather smack of sticking-up two fingers at the BBC and not complying with the spirit of an agreement he supposedly reached only a matter of days ago. Although I like him as a presenter - and agree with a lot of what he says in his tweets - he's starting to give the impression of someone who thinks he can do as he likes because he's become too big to be sanctioned (and that's not a good look IMO).
What are the details of the agreement that came to?https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/16381527493...

Also what are the editorial guidelines regarding freelance sports presenters?

I'm sort of lost in what ways the current government could have been empirically "good" for anyone. FY23-24 they're going to cost me nearly three grand extra in income tax alone, and that's literally just paying for the economic damage that the previous flash-in-the-pan lettuce administration somehow managed to cause. And that's without all the other direct and indirect costs caused by their myriad of truly ignorant and idiotic policy positions.
Do you honestly believe that £3k extra is due to "Trussonomics" rather than Covid policy, that every party supported?Agree with the rest of you post BTW, I'd love to see how the other poster has come to that conclusion.

Obvious point but there's no reference to politics, or indeed anyone in particular in his tweet.
I guess he's testing the waters. It's an interesting "free speech" point though: It's only political if you make an inference to current events.
Indeed, he makes a valid point about anyone who habitually tells fibs.I guess he's testing the waters. It's an interesting "free speech" point though: It's only political if you make an inference to current events.

Better the cretins we know
After how many years of incompetence does that become untrue for you?(I know the answer is ‘never’ sadly, but always funny to hear people justify voting for a party literally laughing at them)
(Assuming you don’t run a PPE drop-shopping company)

I'm all right Jack - the motto of the true selfish Conservative.Constitutional role for hereditary royals
Unelected legislators, including hereditary
Bishops in the HoL
FPTP
State broadcaster
No written constitution
And that's just the big ticket stuff.
