Honestly though punditry has become,for me, the biggest bore in football. Highly paid "failed" or "never been" managers who just relate what you've already seen,among little chummy so called jokes, which all seems to last longer than the actual game footage.

No, he's not. As others have said, its okay for him to have that opinion, but its not okay for him to use his position at the BBC to express his personal opinions and try to influence others. |

The thing is when you work for a public service broadcaster you cannot express these views: whether they are anti or pro the government of the day.
A public service broadcaster has to be impartial
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but when you have had Alan Sugar wading into Mick Lynch about the rail strikes without any sanction, Andrew Neil fronting a lot of political coverage whilst tweeting divisive stuff from The Spectator without sanction it looks a bit odd. Fwiw it would be brill, as the option's seem to be diminishing rapidly, if they put on a full female panel tomorrow just to piss a few more people off. |

It should apply to everyone if they work for a public service broadcaster- no bias either for or against the govt of the day |

You're right, it would be unreasonable for him to say any of this stuff on MOTD, or in any formal BBC capacity. Which he hasn't. Extending that to not having any public political opinions in their personal life would make every BBC employee equivalent to Royalty which seems a bit unsustainable. |

As Horlock eluded to, you can find examples of people working at the BBC berating Mick Lynch, or Corbyn or any number of things, not a peep from anyone in power or the BBC. Lineker talks about the government's treatment of immigrants and we've got various politicians wading in and getting all billy pompous bollocks. |

He’s not using his position at the BBC. He’s highlighting what an absolute bunch of cunts this “government” is, to people who voluntarily choose to follow him. |

He works for a public service broadcaster - therefore he is not allowed to express anti government or pro government views. I really don’t see how this is so difficult to grasp. I would say exactly the same if he said pro govt views |

Unless he says somethig on air, it really boils down to what the rules are on people who work for the BBC, doesn't it?
I'd be surprised if they're not allowed to publicly state a political opinion ever even off air, because if that's the case Linkear would have been taken off MOTD a long time ago, along with numerous others.
