The utterances of Gary Linekar with regard to government policy on its bill on asylum policy is blatant interference in democracy for two reasons: the BBC is funded by taxpayers so that Gary Linekars salary from the BBC is funded by those who pay the Licence Fee.

Using the platform of the BBC to tweet political statements is a breach of the impartiality of the BBC as well as an abuse of the privileged position he holds in the Corporation. He is not therefore a Freelance social media journalist and when he tweets he effectively represents the view of the BBC. This is out of Order and he should be sanctioned regardless of how good he is as a Football pundit.
