That's the biggest problem that the BBC have right now, they don't have the moral high ground to stand on. If they had dealt with all of the other people who had expressed strong political views in the past the same way as they were treating Lineker now then I'd not have a problem with it, but the issue here is that seemingly they are allowing political commentary in one direction but clamping down on it in another direction.
It's hard to see how the BBC can come out of this well, bearing in mind some of their management's links to the Government and the fact that they appear to be using a different rulebook for different people.
