Boris Johnson last night told a packed Tory hustings the BBC should sack Gary Lineker to pay for the licences being taken away from over 75s
He told a Tory leadership Hustings event in York: “The BBC should be coughing up for the TV licence for the over 75s. We give them the money, they should pay for it.” Asked how they should pay for it, he fired back: “Sack Lineker.”
It was revealed that Gary Lineker is the BBC’s highest paid star, earning a salary of £1,750,000-£1,754,999. A slew of other data was released detailing the massive salaries received by the BBC ‘talent’.
Meanwhile Boris claims he is best placed to “unleash the potential” of the entire UK.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph he said:
I will set out a vision for Britain as the greatest place on Earth. The greatest place to be, the greatest place to live, to raise a family.It’s time we unleashed the potential of the whole of the UK. Yes of course we’ve got problems we need to tackle, we’ve got divisions in our country, all sorts of divisions but I believe we can heal them and we can bring people together.I used to say London was the greatest city on Earth and people didn’t agree with me, they said that’s a ridiculous thing to say. After a while they came to see that it was true, and we can do the same with the UK.
It’s time for a bit of confidence, a bit of self-belief, it’s time to stop being so negative about what the UK can do and that’s how we’ll get a great deal.It’s time to drive for the line, keeping the ball at the back of the scrum.”
Voting is now under way in the race to choose the next Tory leader and UK Prime Minister.
