Gary Lineker 'won't face disciplinary action from BBC' after political tweet
ok.co.ukGary Lineker will not face disciplinary action from the BBC following his controversial tweet, according to reports. On Tuesday, Gary, 62, commented on a Twitter video put out by Home Secretary Suella Braverman, in which she unveiled government plans to stop migrant boats crossing the Channel and said the UK is being "overwhelmed".
As he re-shared the video, the Match of the Day host wrote: "Good heavens, this is beyond awful." In a later tweet, Gary added: "There is no huge influx.
We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. "This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the ’30s." The tweet has divided public opinion – but received more than 56,700 likes and more than 56,700 retweets.
After saying they're taking the matter “seriously” and expecting to have a “frank conversation” with Gary, it has now been revealed that the BBC won't be taking disciplinary action against the presenter.
