I think he’s so arrogant that he thought the rules don’t apply to him, and it wouldn’t be an issue. He suggested as such to the press.Which bit of the language he used offends you out of interest?

Never thought I’d see the good folk of H&V so keen on a multi-millionaire tax avoider.

I had heard he’d been swept up in the IR35 shenanigans a decade or so ago is it that?
Quote from: Ian. on March 11, 2023, 04:48:40 PMI know that but it’s aired on the BBC. Surely though, not been able to take any form of criticism is the problem here? A Government is never going to please everyone, so making such a song and dance over Lineker is just ridiculous and helping hide the fact that they are in a right mess and we’re all having to live through it until they are removed.If they let Lineker have his say though, then they have to let everybody else do the same, and then you risk having what makes the BBC unique disappear. I can get plenty of partisan opinions from the rest of the mainstream media.

Agreed. As someone who also works in this way I make damn sure my IR35 status is determined from both sides well before starting any contract. His role at the BBC would seem to be inside IR35 with obviously scant knowledge of his contract.

His role at the BBC would seem to be inside IR35 with obviously scant knowledge of his contract. Not so sure how you can say that without knowing the details (as you said, scant knowledge)?He also works for BT Sport, for example, and runs a podcasting company. I am sure, whatever his situation, he'll have had people being careful with that on his behalf.
