Surely the best 2 minutes you’ll watch on Gary Lineker and double standards at the BBC
You don’t have to like Gary Lineker or agree with what he said on Twitter this week to see the extraordinary double standards over ‘impartiality’ apparently at play within the BBC.
If the whole thing wasn’t a big enough crisis for the BBC already, the decision to suspend Lineker from Match of the Day made the whole thing worse with no end of pundits and presenters walking out on Saturday in solidarity with the MotD man.

And surely no-one sums it up better than Sky News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol in this two-minute clip which has just gone wildly viral on Twitter.

Credit to Sky News tonight. They’re absolutely skewering the BBC & Tory hypocrisy on Gary Lineker.https://t.co/VNQDUvjv83

When you’re getting bodied on Sky Sports News in between updates on the Stoke starting XI and Crewe’s injury list you know you’re in trouble https://t.co/TG7DVybIUP
