According to the BBC website "Opposition to racism is a fundamental democratic principle, reflected, for example, in the fact that incitement to racial hatred is a criminal offence in the UK. It is therefore fully consistent with our guidelines."
Gary Lineker was duly expressing an anti-racist view about the language of hate used by the government against refugees. You can quibble about whether it is racist or fascist but you cannot deny that Gary Lineker was within the BBC guidelines.
If the Labour Party is too pusilanimous to stand up to racism, socialists and trade unionists will have to do the job.
