Well....basically the BBC admitted it has no rule on employees and what they can Twitter-comment. So Lineker was given a open-door to return. The end?
I would suggest this....Lincker probably will limit his Twitter commentary for the next month to purely sports discussions. Meanwhile....I would imagine that a hundred-odd BBC employees will go to Twitter and offer up political commentary (mostly against the conservative crowd).
In retaliation, various public and private individuals will then offer some fairly harsh commentary against this BBC group, and a lot 'hurt' feelings will arise.
The discussion to remove the mandate for the TV tax? Well...that will take off and be a top ten discussion issue.
Lets be honest....Lineker's comment on the refugee business....doesn't resolve much of anything. It just pushes it to the next level.

Lineker was never a BBC employee to begin with. He has his own media company that subcontracts to the BBC. So it's really another effort of the conservatives to distract from their illegal bill (which is purely red meat for the gammons and won't likely pass the house of lords - intentionally so). Then they can turn around and rave about it being all unfair and it's because of everyone else that they can't fix the problem. Despite the fact that there's dozen's of legal solutions at their disposal.
Their internal cronies within the BBC are trying their best to get it defunded so that the only news people can receive is from media owned by non-dom billionaires.
There was a time and place for the BBC exist in this imaginary middle-point. Since the 1980s....I'd say enough competition exist to talk sports, news and entertainment on a different level.
Same issue brewing in Germany. There's no need for ARD/ZDF to bid on professional soccer, sports car racing and boxing. If you ask most Germans between 15 and 30...they will tell you the bulk of entertainment offered....is of little interest to them. My son (age 30) will say that he hasn't watched an hour of public German TV since 1995, with 50-percent of what he does watch now being streaming video.
Without thinking much about it...the BBC is now emerging as a top five political topic, and how to end the tax fee.
