Rejected petition Remove Gary Linekar from working at the BBC

He is using his power of influence given to him by Television license payers to call a nation stupid and xenophobic for taking part in a display of democracy.

all he cares about is who can come and play football for him to interview on BBC programme Match of the Day. He has no right to call the people who pay his wages xenophobic
