BBC retvrns to silent TV as all of their football presenters quit in solidarity after they suspended Gary Lineker for a Tweet :taylaugh:

Tweet that started it all

Officially, Linker "stepped down", but apparently he refused to apologize or take down the tweet after BBC asked him to so they suspended him.

This resulted in all of the co presenters and commentators to also "boycott"/quit for the time being

For the sneed, just look at top of /r/soccer

BBC has fallen :chudsey:

BBC has been taken over by fascists

Redditors are protesting the best way they can - complaining to the manager and not paying their TV loicence

Luckily there's murdoch owned Sky to take down the Tories at BBC

All in all it was a massively r-slurred move by BBC as even Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan and Gary Neville all support Lineker.

A Labour source told the BBC the corporation should "rethink their decision", calling it a "cowardly decision... an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure".

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the BBC was "undermining free speech in the face of political pressure", while writing on Twitter, Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas said the broadcaster was "capitulating" to a "divisive" government.

'Excuse me, ma'am, you've been caught posting on Kiwi Farms without a loicense, we're going to have to take you in for further questioning.'

Bongs :marseypearlclutch: suddenly worrying about free speech is precious.
