"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?"

While the beeb praised his sports coverage as "second to none" they said he should "keep well away from taking sides" on party political topics. The full statement read: "The BBC has been in extensive discussions with Gary and his team in recent days."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.
