    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    How he writes out the bill is a minor point in the law about whether he is employed or not. If HMRC decides under the law that his contract is substantively that of an employee, they can unwind all the limited company arrangements. And in any case, whether an employee or not, the BBC can...

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    The idea of prisoners having to work, isn't new. I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, just that it's been going on as long as prisons have been in use.

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    Imagine it like a football match. Brighton are playing for the League Title, the ground is full, and a thousand people are trying to climb the wall to get in. The police are worried that they wil impale themselves on the fence, so they say they will allow an extra 250 people to come in if...

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    If that's a joke, it's in disgustingly poor taste. But if it's serious, and you genuinely think that the treatment of asylum seekers is completely akin to how the Germans treated the Jews and other minorities, then you really need to study a bit of history. Have you even heard of Belsen...

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    I think the last sentence of point 3 is a fallacy. People who arrive in small boats do so because they know they have no chance of getting here via establsihed channels. If we change the rule to allow more people in but these people still won't be on the list, it won't stop them coming by...
