Piers Morgan blasts Sarah Vine for comparing Gary Lineker to Vladimir Putin

Piers Morgan has staunchly defended Gary Lineker's right to have an opinion in a new Twitter spat with Sarah Vine.

He posted a critique of her Mail On Sunday column, pointing out that it was somewhat hypocritical of her to make a point by comparing Lineker to a dictatorial regime - which was a similar comparison Gary made when criticising the government.

Piers wrote on Twitter: "In her Mail column today, Sarah Vine questions Gary Lineker’s ‘right’ to compare Govt immigration rhetoric to Hitler’s Germany in the 30s… and then herself compares Gary to Vladimir Putin. Free speech dictator comparison censorship rules for thee but not for me!"
