Woke BBC takes Woker Gary Lineker off air ‘after he refused to apologise for Nazi tweet’ and ‘does not agree’ with bosses’ order to step down as Ian Wright pulls out of show in ‘solidarity’ with presenter

The BBC has taken Gary Lineker off air after he reportedly refused to apologise for his tweet likening the Home Office’s immigration policy to Nazi Germany.

Lineker will not present Match of the Day this weekend after the BBC decided his tweet invoking Nazi Germany breached impartiality rules.

Fellow football pundit Ian Wright today tweeted that he would also shun presenting Match of the Day while the ban is in place, expressing ‘solidarity’ with his co-host.
