Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

So, it is not OK for a football pundit to make a political statement on his own Twatter account because it shows bias!! Yet, a BBC presenter who questions political figures is allowed, on air, to show bias to a particular football team. Nick Robinson is an out and out rag who comments about them all the time.
 
Maybe Lineker should just say: " To clarify - I disagree with the immigration policy and I think that in a free society I have a right to express that view. To clarify, I did not intend to equate the current government to the the Nazis who killed 6 million Jews and caused the total deaths of about 70 million people during WW2 as some people are suggesting, and I regret any misunderstanding and offence caused. What I meant was there are similarities between xxxx said by the current government in the latest policy and yyyy said by zzzz in the 1930s, and I didn't like it."

And get back to presenting football, which he is very good at.
Or maybe the BBC should have a brief investigation and admit that as a sports presenter he didn’t actually breach the corporations social media guidelines, and they made a mistake.

Rule of thumb for a statement is that it should be short enough to fit on the side of a bus.

with a 14 min MotD tonight and radio output depleted this only ends one way - Sharp stepping down whilst under investigation and a statement saying Lineker is reinstated and that they are seeking to work with him to work through a framework which results in a conclusion acceptable to all parties which covers Social Media use and clarifies the BBC CoC for all presenters

Still too long for the side of a bus.
