Nobody wants to deny Linekar free speech, but he can’t have free speech.
This really has exposed those who have genuine principles on such and those who just use it to stick it to the left and don’t really care about free speech. As was ever evident really, given that those whining about Linekar never whined about Alan Sugar, Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo and others expressing their impartial views. That is no problem with me, they are free to.
The agenda is clear though from you. Most don’t agree with Linekar being silenced, so the idea of a BBC civil war is maybe overplayed here.
Now for the personal attacks upon me for having a different view.
