Gary Lineker steps down from MOTD

[Scanchez]

I think this sums it up perfectly.

I understand what you're saying and I sympathise with those people but unless we stop this craziness people will be living on our streets in their hundreds of thousands within 10 years and that's just not right 

This is why people will still vote Tory because they think this will actually happen

Sky just said he’s coming to the game today 

Superb can hear the chants now from one side “ THERES ONLY ONE GARY LINEKER “ the other side “SACKED IN THE MORNING !” Let’s be hoping he goes and gives the lads a positive team talk to fire up the lads to beat Chelsea !! 🤪

Spot on. A day at the Holocaust museum might educate the ignorant idiot.

Leicester legend, but a bit of a dick head.

Sorry Garry

I visited Auschwitz in 2019 and I couldn't more strongly stand with Lineker.

[MattFox]

More concerned about his terrible opinions on our season and Rodgers tbh

Spoken like an MP, ready to criticize for offering no credible alternative 

[Mr.Bingles]

As George Orwell said ..

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

Anyone who thinks this isn't a concern; I teach A Level History and one of the topics is Mussolini and the rise of Fascism.

 

Please, if you don't think it's a concern that Gary Lineker, a footballer who made one tweet in disagreement with the government, has been told to shut up, read up on Mussolini's use of the media. 

Completely agree.  I don't always agree with Gary Lineker, but I defend his right to say it.  We are on a very very dangerous path if people are silenced.

And this is why we need press regulation. They're allowed to spread lies and vulnerable people believe and get upset by it.

Why do you think they'll be homeless?

Spoken like extremists, making up non-issues and blaming it on migrants.

 

We're not even close to being short of any of those things. You're insane. 

[Mr.Bingles]

It’s all culture war bollocks. Whilst the tabloids and Sky are reporting on Gary Lineker tweeting we are all distracted away from the genuine issues of the NHS crisis, the cost of living crisis, the fuel crisis, food banks and Brendan Rodgers inability to put together any kind of consistency

Last time I checked France wasn’t a war zone, why risk your life to leave it?

What?

[sishades]

I disagree with GL but I will defend his right to freedom of speech. Its so easy these days to have speech cancelled just because some snow flakes get offended. I attended a school 2 mikes from the notorious Bergen Belsen concentration camp and was very much aware of what Nazis did. The railway lines were still in place in the streets of Bergen. Visiting this place on a school trip was very harrowing. To compare any UK government (Labour or conservative) to these monsters is outrageous.

 

Get a grip.

There are many reasons why a tiny percentage risk their lives, some are trafficked and have no choice, some have family connections, some speak the language, and many see the UK as a welcoming safe place.

What will you censor next? Books perhaps, or TV or the internet.

Who says anything about censorship? How about just reporting truth responsibility and enacting Leverson 2

And last I checked, migrants have the right (human rights laws passed after ww2) to settle where ever they please. 

[Bordersfox]

 

Pretty much sums up my views on the matter.  

[Zear0]

The other thing that really stings is knowing this is exactly what the current regime were aiming for with the impractical and unenforcable "scheme" they announced.  Equivalent to that Darwin Nunez chant bloke, living rent free and he knows it.
