Nicola Sturgeon – 2023 Comments on the Suspension of Gary Lineker

The comments made by Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, on Twitter on 10 March 2023.

As a strong supporter of public service broadcasting, I want to be able to defend the BBC. But the decision to take @GaryLineker off air is indefensible. It is undermining free speech in the face of political pressure – & it does always seem to be rightwing pressure it caves to.
