Gary Lineker could still face a BBC rebuke over his tweets despite returning to work, insiders say adamsherwin10 reports
on Saturday without agreeing to rein in his social media use, after comparing the Government’s illegal migration policy with Nazi Germany.
The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit could rule on Lineker’s migration tweets and find that they are a serious breach of impartiality guidelines. Mr Davie faces pressure to asset his authority over the star, paid £1.35m a year by licence-fee payers. “While individual contracts are a matter for the BBC, I have asked the Culture Secretary to include the enforcement of impartiality rules on freelancers as well as full-time staff in the terms of the mid-term licence fee review,” he toldSir John said Lineker should go if he refused to submit to the rules and called on the Director-General to bring his star into line.
Even if the BBC produces new rules, they are unlikely to apply to Lineker who believes the five-year contract he signed with the BBC in 2020 allows him to freedom to express personal views outside of the broadcaster. Observers have suggested that the 62 year-old knows he would be in high demand from rival sports broadcasters and appears relaxed about the outcome, even if it means leaving the BBC.
