Lineker commented on the video:“Good heavens, this is beyond awful.”When a Twitter user replied that Gary Lineker's comments were 'Out of order', he responded, writing:"There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?"Gary Lineker 💙💛@GaryLinekerGood heavens, this is beyond awful. twitter.com/ukhomeoffice/s…Home Office@ukhomeoffice🗣️ “Enough is enough.

We have said that we consider his recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines. The BBC has decided that he will step back from presenting Match of the Day until we’ve got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media."It will be interesting to see who becomes the new host of the famous MOTD show in Lineker's absence. The former striker has been a part of the show since 1999.
