LONDON – The BBC has reprimanded its football presenter Gary Lineker for comparing British refugee policy with Nazi Germany. The former English national player will be “reminded of his responsibility”, said the public broadcaster on Wednesday night. Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay told the Telegraph newspaper that Lineker’s comment was “ill thought out and disgraceful”. The BBC must fire the 62-year-old.
