Darren Grimes the former GB News right-wing commentator was not happy about Gary Lineker returning to the BBC at all!

He tweeted: “The BBC are reportedly to apologise to Gary Lineker. Lineker, as a high profile representative of the BBC, ought to be apologising for his disgusting comparison to our nation and Nazi Germany. What a cowardly decision by the BBC that will only make Lineker even more arrogant.”

The BBC are reportedly to apologise to Gary Lineker.

Lineker, as a high profile representative of the BBC, ought to be apologising for his disgusting comparison to our nation and Nazi Germany.

What a cowardly decision by the BBC that will only make Lineker even more arrogant.

He then wrote: “The BBC means a lot to Gary Lineker, says the BBC’s director general. Aye, you don’t say, I can tell you how much the BBC means to Gary Lineker. It means £1.35 million quid.”
