This was a woke putsch against the BBC

The Lineker rebellion was an elite power-grab, not a fight for free speech.

This was cancel culture. Not against Lineker, but against the BBC, it was a woke putsch against BBC.

The Beeb’s climbdown in the Lineker scandal suggests the self-serving insurgents have won.

BBC's senior football reporter Ian Dennis was roundly demonised as a scab’ by the Twitterati.

Other sports presenters felt targeted’ too, reports The Times.

The liberal elite’s putsch against the Beeb doesn’t only have the feel of a witch-hunt it could have the consequences of one, too.
