BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has been criticised by a fellow BBC colleague over airing his political views on twitter. BBC cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew said in response to a tweet from Lineker on Brexit that Lineker was "the face of BBC Sport" and that he should "observe BBC editorial guidelines". He continued "Keep your political views, whatever they are and whatever the subject, to yourself." Lineker responded by saying he could "tweet what he likes" and that he'll "continue to tweet what I like and if folk disagree with me then so be it." W do you think? Should Lineker - and other BBC presenters - keep their political views to themselves? Even when tweeting in a personal capacity? Stephen got the views of commentators Fionola Meredith and Frank Shivers.
