A perfect candidate. Look at the photos, looks great in a bikini, and flaunting yacht, and property proved to have been obtained after the payments.
It would blow the whole thing. Better than a picture of some businessman sat at his PC transferring all his swag to some offshore bank account🤣

“ The BBC fears it cannot sack Gary Lineker or force him to follow social media rules on impartiality because of ambiguities in his contract, The Independent understands.

The corporation would be forced to pay millions if they wanted to oust Lineker and would probably lose any legal claim brought by the Match of the Day presenter, senior figures believe.

spot on, they've also arguably broken the Human Rights Act 1998 which states that government bodies cannot infringe an individuals freedom of speech. Claims that MotD being aired last night without any commentary has broken the Equalities Act also as people with sight impairment cannot enjoy the show.

Or the more obvious employment laws which lead to a tribunal.

It's been a monumental fook up all round by auntie.

Its the victims of the Governments racist immigration policy which is the issue. This argument about Gary Lineker highlights the power of Government to censor ordinary people - in any way it can - to get what it wants. Its done the same over Julian Assange. Frighten dissenters, isolate those who speak up for the voiceless and for truth - thats authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Its the thin end of a big wedge and we`ve seen that over many years. Its an errosion of basic human rights in this country and of democracy.

No matter the day, year or century or the culture, the need to silence the protestor [regardless of type of protest] will always be monitored and possibly incur variable amounts of punishments. There's no such thing as freedom of speech when you try to dictate to the government, or pull one over their subservients [police or other categories of authority]. How many times have you argued with authority and landed yourself in a place which you'd rather not be? Assange has had a life long struggle to push his "free the journalist" agenda and while it may have worked earlier on, various western governments have tried to cut the chord on his philosophies. If we all downed tools tomorrow, maybe for a week or so to support Assange would it prevent him from being extradited? No, because of the simple reason we the people don't run governments, we don't get to decide anymore, we just fall into the category of "numbers".

Edward Snowden was also silenced - persued for revealing the truth. Assange reported the truth - never committerd a crime. Now he sits in a Category "A" prison. The "extradition" agreement with USA means that a citizen of any other country can be tried under a foreeign judicial system [USA]. Persecution, harrassment, intercepting communications, kidnap, killing - all send a message to journalists and whistle-blowers to `Shut up and do what we want. Say what we want. Or else`. People like Hersch, Pilger, Kennard, Pappe, Assange, Machon, Shayler, Wright, Agee, Hosenball, Greenwald, et al, have have been smeared, marginalised and demeaned, but they wont shut up. Its rare to find them in the rich oligarch`s "main-stream media" [including the BBC]. As you know - it takes a lot of "digging" and research to get behind the "media", "mirrors", "lies" and "smoke".
