He's a champagne socialist. He's extremely rich and doesn't suffer from the everyday worries the rest of us have - how to get a gps appointment or a school place. I bet his kids were privately educated and he has private healthcare. If i had his wealth i'dmake myself feel better by opening up my house to refugees. Unfortunately i don't and have to pay ever increasing taxes for an ever increasing population
I see Gary Lineker as being a very mild centre-left politically. If the BBC views him as "radical", it says far more about the demise of the BBC as a credible source than it does about Mr Lineker.
I know what you mean, we're so deep into this weird neo-McCarthyism that started as a reaction to Corbyn that apparently the definition for being far-left is now 'not being completely mad'
he's a multi multi millionaire and been in the role for donkey's years. I know the public sector expect a job to be for life, but frankly looking forward to a change
Gary Lineker is like a fine wine that gets better with age. I remember when he took over from Des Lynham and he was very wooden, but he grew into the job now as you say he's at the top of his game. It's the BBC's loss to not renew his contract and they don't come out of it looking good.
BBC SHOULD BE GIVEN MBE THIS YEAR FOR THEIR SERVICES TO ISRAELI PROPAGANDA MACHIN. PALESTINIANS SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THE COLONIAL OPPRESSION BY ISRAEL AND BBC.
It must be so difficult to for him to not care when he's worth £30m. Good old Gary, not afraid to post a few tweets when he's in the top 0.00001% of privileged people on the planet (but be careful not to let any of the poor get their hands on that money, Gary, that wouldn't do at all).
How do we the public take action?: •Gary will get a big job in football presenting. Let's all support him and follow his journey •Find any alternative to MOTD that works for you. Let the ratings dramatically fall so that they know how we, the fans, and the people really feel.
Gary obviously doesn’t need the cash, but have respect for him for saying what we are all thinking! Imagine many other channels would double his salary!
Had this story repeated to me all day long by the BBC. Not once did they tell story straight. Within 1 minute and ten seconds you've told me more than a Days worth of 'news broadcasting'
Thank you!! I was seeing this everywhere too, but no one was covering *why* he’d left/stepped down. They just kept repeating that one piece of info over and over
Lineker has spoken out well at times which I'm grateful to him for, especially his condemnations of Israel. Yet that podcast empire is doing a lot of damage. The rehabilitation of Alistair Campbell, obviously, but also that pair on the history podcast, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, as they're both staunch western chauvinists.
In the spirit of Nelson Mandela, we need a new public service broadcaster in this country. A broadcaster that is diverse, promotes equality and is inclusive. It must be able to be critical, independent and investigative in its journalism. The broadcaster must be free from state interference and have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials.
Freedom of speech?! The beeb will now try to slander him via press etc. Nothing will stick and Lineker but they will try. Absolutely, a true, honest guy.
I wonder how he now feels about his 2017 April 19th Tweet "Bin Corbyn". I wasn't a fan of Corbyn because of his weak position on the EU pre Brexit vote, but his foreign policy and public ownership/taxation policies are what we need, and which Starmer's backers could and will never allow.
Absolutely 💯 Gary has never been silent when he has seen injustice. I’m sure he has had words about the recent Israliar hooligans if not already about Palestine and the horrors being committed. Of course Butcher Bibi Broadcasting want him out! I knew it - Thank you Gary you are on my list of Heroes ❤
The University of Tasmania, many years ago, sacked a Philosophy lecturer for having an affair. Philosophers all over Australia refused to fill the position. Maybe footy commentators could take a similar moral stance.
He is massively overpaid for what he does, but that's not why he's being let go. He's been let go because he spoke out about what is happening in the middle east right now and the BBC don't like that.
@@JC-ce1ksand you have to pay to watch sports channels on tv packages, at least the beeb doesn’t run 3rd party ads; THAT is why there is a TV license Watch sports on sky (i.e formula 1, you get ads every 20-30 mins), sports on bbc (formula 1 had no ads, footie ads were only at halftime Too many ads in the U.S BECAUSE you don’t have a tax that prevents shitty ads for things like the kardashians or overpriced food that blare out at 20 decibels higher
Labour should've sacked Tim Davie and Alex Kay-Jelski as soon as they got in. You can't have a failed Tory candidate and a right-wing journalist in charge of anything at the BBC.
You would have thought a labour goverment would have wanted to get rid of the right wing proporganda out of the bbc but then again srarmers not exactly a true labour person.?
Can't justify the obscene salaries of these BBC "celebs". But the underlying issue here is that anyone with an ounce of humanity is being removed from all mainstream uk media.
@@jmills01 To name just two; Sangita Myska and Mehdi Hasan were removed from their msm jobs for standing up for Palestine. Some will be too scared to stand against genocide but too many are prepared to support the killings, look the other way or worse, just don't care.
I used to watch bbc often and enjoyed programs like dragons den and match of the day, but they have pushed me away with their antics, like not showing the Qatar opening world cup ceremony or the rude sounds playing in the studio for a very long time in one of the football games and getting rid of celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson, Hammond, May, and now Linekar. Their programs seem to push a certain agenda as well and I don’t wish to watch that stuff so they have lost a longtime viewer for good now IA.
Respect for you Gary! It's a shame you are leaving Match of the day, after so many successful years as host. However it's important that you speak out your truth, too many people in mainstream media are being muzzled, unable call out Israels actions in Gaza, lest they loose their jobs. It takes courage and balls!
Love Gary, is able to take care of his colleagues, be playful and simultaenously professional and aware of all the important things! And he is himself! The Trump re-election has emboldened the Right!
All the civic education they taught me as a child in school, and my parents, was BS. Thank you, it took me a lifetime to unload the stuff off my brain.
It's not so long ago that receiving a knighthood would be deemed an honour.thanks to lardy boris I see it as a sign of corruption.those that truly deserve recognition have had those honours devolved by greed and corruption.
A good man...just could learn not to use "you know" as a filler during interviews..then could be a genuine thorn in the conscience of politicians.. and God knows we need one 🙏
Not even a football fan but disgusted at the BBC once again. What a dystopian world we’re in where you lose your job for speaking out about genocide and ethnic cleansing. Why would any moral person pay a tv licence in future...
Be interesting to see if any of the other broadcasters offer him work……or will they be “frightened “ by what he might say? Or is he in effect being “black listed “ like Susan Sarandon in Hollywood.
Another nail in the coffin of the BBC's integrity
The BBC hasn't had integrity for 20 years.
The BBC *NEVER HAD INTEGRITY!!*
What integrity lol
2 words you don't expect to see in the same sentence are BBC and integrity.
@@IMBlakeley unless the word "lacks" is after BBC and before integrity
Well done to Gary for not being a coward like the rest of em
nah he gay. i do applaud him for sticking up for palestine though

He's just showing off on Twitter. The BBC are getting rid of him because he's over 60 and on big money.
Well done Gary. Keep speaking the truth against injustice here and abroad
“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.” ― Edward Snowden
Good man. Not like the rest of the snivelling cowards in the BBC.
All paid by Israel!
No humanity whatsoever!
Not many put their careers on the line to stand up for the truth. He's worth every penny on MOTD.
he's a multi multi millionaire and been in the role for donkey's years. I know the public sector expect a job to be for life, but frankly looking forward to a change
Gary Linekar, childhood and now still my Hero. True English football Legend.
He is your hero, but you can't even spell his surname correctly!
Its not left or right, its Greed and Privilege versus Injustice and induced poverty
Gary Linekar is a man of high morals n conscience…mos importantly he is from my home town.. so proud of him❤
Easy to have 'morals' when you've got £30m and can live better than anyone on the planet without working another day in your life.
Paid by corporate BBC but has always had the guts to speak up and be confrontational! Respect!
What a man of principle. Massive respect to Lineker, hopefully he’ll be fully unleashed now.
Have so much respect for Gary what a legend
Well done Gary!
Now how they gonna stop him... well done Gary... and free palestine
Huge Respect to Gary Lineker for courageously speaking out ❤
Shame on the BBC
Well Done Gary -- Free free Palestine
A great man, with great ideals, and a great loss to our Saturday night God bless you Gary you're bigger than the BBC!!!
Salute you Gary!
Gary Lineker is like a fine wine that gets better with age. I remember when he took over from Des Lynham and he was very wooden, but he grew into the job now as you say he's at the top of his game. It's the BBC's loss to not renew his contract and they don't come out of it looking good.
Well done Lineker. Get yerself up to Celtic park. We all think the same way!🍀🍀💚💚💚
A man with a concious in a position of power can't be allowed in modern Britain.
BBC SHOULD BE GIVEN MBE THIS YEAR FOR THEIR SERVICES TO ISRAELI PROPAGANDA MACHIN. PALESTINIANS SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THE COLONIAL OPPRESSION BY ISRAEL AND BBC.
Good for him🎉
He gives zero fucks ❤
I think he does care especially since he was willing to take a pay cut.
It must be so difficult to for him to not care when he's worth £30m. Good old Gary, not afraid to post a few tweets when he's in the top 0.00001% of privileged people on the planet (but be careful not to let any of the poor get their hands on that money, Gary, that wouldn't do at all).
@@Dogfacedbloke As he says: He is fairly secure. Still, not everyone in his situation with the same opinion opens their mouth!
How do we the public take action?:
•Gary will get a big job in football presenting. Let's all support him and follow his journey
•Find any alternative to MOTD that works for you. Let the ratings dramatically fall so that they know how we, the fans, and the people really feel.
The fact you can be cancelled from a football show for having an opinion is ridiculous.
Cancel culture of the elites
They've been doing it for years it used to be called censorship.
Laurence Fox will be furious when he finds out that Gary Lineker has been cancelled.
Well done to Gary for speaking out.
Well said Mike.
Gary obviously doesn’t need the cash, but have respect for him for saying what we are all thinking!
Imagine many other channels would double his salary!
Well said G.L.
Gary Lineker fantastic presenter
Thank u very much
❤
Linekear is an absolute Legend
Terrific Player
Amazing Human
Thank goodness for people like Gary Linika

Agreed Campbell is a disgrace 😊
I love the rest is politics and history ..
Top player, top broadcaster and by all accounts a top bloke too. I don't care if he's rich, he's earnt it so good luck to him.
Go GARY ❤… you’ll be fine.
When he's considered far left we are all in trouble.
The good ones leave and the bad ones are promoted...the world is upside down
He's been the Beeb top earners for past 7 years and by more than double the 2nd highest paid, not sure which category you'd put him under
He hates working class socialism, didn't care for Jeremy Corbyn. Just how left wing is this centre forward?
In the spirit of Nelson Mandela, we need a new public service broadcaster in this country. A broadcaster that is diverse, promotes equality and is inclusive. It must be able to be critical, independent and investigative in its journalism. The broadcaster must be free from state interference and have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials.
Absolutely!
And we complain about the Russians and Chinese control of the media message.
It's definitely projection.
Gary Lineker, a true English GOAT!!
He made some good points imho.
We all have a voice, USE IT....
Freedom of speech?! The beeb will now try to slander him via press etc. Nothing will stick and Lineker but they will try. Absolutely, a true, honest guy.
The National Hero Gary Lineker has had to step down for having an opinion. What a brave new world we have fashioned.
Alan sugar,Clarkson and Andrew Neil where allowed to spout right wing crap under their watch.bad old Tory double standards.
Not all hero’s wear capes!❤ BBC’s loss
Shouldn’t have expressed concern for the children of Gaza.
Bless you, Gary.
I wonder how he now feels about his 2017 April 19th Tweet "Bin Corbyn". I wasn't a fan of Corbyn because of his weak position on the EU pre Brexit vote, but his foreign policy and public ownership/taxation policies are what we need, and which Starmer's backers could and will never allow.
Well, he has his own voice and podcast and I hope he now goes on to speak.
Well, I'm his fan!
All these great people standing with humanity instead of greed. They will surely be rewarded by the almighty.
He made his money
Thank you Gary not remaining silent and standing up what's right
Gary Lineker , TV presenter - the best there ever was, and probably the best there will ever be!! Way to go Gary…..👍👍👍
Absolutely 💯 Gary has never been silent when he has seen injustice. I’m sure he has had words about the recent Israliar hooligans if not already about Palestine and the horrors being committed. Of course Butcher Bibi Broadcasting want him out! I knew it - Thank you Gary you are on my list of Heroes ❤
I heard he's opening a refugee centre with the millions he's earned . . . What a man of incredible integrity and wealth.
A real man I respect for telling the truth and defend the oppressed
Well done Garry for having a conscience. A rare thing in the media.
The University of Tasmania, many years ago, sacked a Philosophy lecturer for having an affair. Philosophers all over Australia refused to fill the position. Maybe footy commentators could take a similar moral stance.
Free Gary Lineker
Free Palestine
And Gary for PM
He is massively overpaid for what he does, but that's not why he's being let go. He's been let go because he spoke out about what is happening in the middle east right now and the BBC don't like that.
Bro presenters at ESPN are getting paid 10million per year 😂😂😂

GARY LINEKAR IS A GOOD DUDE
When all the good people left, only the rotten will stay behind
Hate football, love Lineker, a wonderful human being.
Gary is a legend of English football, 10 times the man most of his detractors are
Never thought I would be on Gary's side...but shame on me! You fight the good fight
Gary Linekar is a true Leicester legend. You'll never be an outcast in the true UK.
Lineker will be missed.
Amazing on and off the pitch. On and off the BBC
And so he shall remain always
MOTD is nothing without Gary Lineker.
It'll free him up to really have a go on Have I Got News for You! Looking forward to that ;)
Labour should've sacked Tim Davie and Alex Kay-Jelski as soon as they got in.

It's high time that the Labour Party began appointing 'sympathetic' figures in key British positions. To undo the harm David Cameron started when PM.
One of life’s good guys. However, I hope the BBC don’t make the same mistake of paying his replacement such an exorbitant salary.
Can't justify the obscene salaries of these BBC "celebs". But the underlying issue here is that anyone with an ounce of humanity is being removed from all mainstream uk media.

It's more like too independent and free for BBC
Stalin would be too right wing for the BBC so I find it hard to believe Lineker’s pro immigration anti Brexit views are too strong for them.
