Rejected petition Sack Gary Lineker for breaking BBC guidelines
Gary Lineker is a squeaky clean ex footballer who works for the BBC. Therefore he should not be in a position to spout his political preferences. He is paid by the people handsomely for this work
More details
He has amassed a 30million pond fortune from the tax payer and is now telling us how to vote and is also using his position to get a 2nd referendum
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
