Tory MP Julian Knight has bizarrely torn into Gary Lineker and the BBC for their coverage of the World Cup by claiming that the “woke” tone of the channel is “boring”.
The BBC are sharing broadcasting responsibilities with ITV for the tournament with plenty of success. Both channels have shone a light on the issues in Qatar, including human rights offences and the persecution of the LGBT community.
That is something that has wrangled with Knight, who has been left furious at the coverage. Speaking on GB News, he said: “It's boring, that’s the problem with it. Viewers, they've been lectured to, aren't they?
