Whether you agree with what he said or not, it's a sad situation when any person gets hauled over the coals for expressing a personal opinion.
Free speech anyone.

Perhaps comparing the government with the most evil regime of the 20th century is crossing a line. Ever heard of kristallnacht, ever heard of the Holocaust? Go figure

Seemingly the Devil is in the details.
Stupid stupid tweet by Lineker, trivializing the Holocaust. Seemingly, his past tweets caught up with him, he had been warned by the BBC over previous (re)tweets. Previously, the BBC had received complaints from lawyers representing Israel, over Lineker's retweet of critism of shooting dead of a promising footballer by Israeli soldiers (omitted was the additional information that the footballer was a member of Hamas and was shooting at Israeli soldiers when shot).
BBC warned Lineker but he ignored that with his latest rediculous tweet, if the Govt were Nazis, (no anti establishment tweets would be allowed).

Yet again, ego overtakes intelligence. Gary Neville is headed the same way. Stick to football and don't get involved in stuff you don't understand.

The pundits supporting Lineker are showing themselves up to be just as entitled as he thinks he is imo.

Did he mention the Holocaust ?

did he mention Kristallnacht?

Are you both really ,really sure he wrote so much.

His tweet was hate speech - comparing nazi Germany in the 30s where they went in to murder million of Jews to our current government will Create hate amongst the population here but will most certainly be swept under the carpet by the leftie mob .
Can you imagine if the boot was on the other foot !!!!???

Fucking UK - it’s ruined beyond repair .

I find it interesting that the far left are stating - “he wasn’t comparing the two, he was just saying the language is similar” I’m sure it’s the same people that said Trump’s campaign speeches sounded like Nazi Germany.

Lineker knew what he was doing and he’s done it before. The BBC got bored of it after warning him other times.

I wonder if the Labour Party would be quite so supportive of big ears' freedom of expression as a TV football pundit if he had slagged off Starmer as a union patsy & pronounced them unfit to govern.

Get used to it. The next UK Government will be Labour. The Tories have even screwed their most ardent supporters over . They are finished..

Btw , although i come from Hulme in Manc and am very proud of it, i take no joy in seeing how poor the UK has become.

What a weird cult we have in here.

Fucking hell, are people saying that Lineker is wrong for standing up for refugees who have nowhere to go whilst this government uses language akin to what led to the biggest travesty ever?

Glad I walked into this pub, who fucking wants some?

Before I get involved, are you saying that this Tory government isn’t being hard enough on the asylum seekers and are you referring to them as Nazi’s?

I understand the fucking rules more than you, the 1948 convention says refugees should seek asylum in the first safe country. What fucking part of that do you not fucking understand?

Absolutely not, I just think the guy is fraud. Nothing to do with being left or right for me anyway. He's using mainstream opinion to gain popularity. I don't think he genuinely cares. He gave it the hoo ha on Qatar and yet, went ahead to present the world cup. If he's really that concerned, like to see him doing voluntary work on the ground to add more credibility rather than twitter claptrap. I think all politicians are fraud, they are all from the same mould just in different colours serving same recycled bullshit.

Don’t you know he took in a Rocket Scientist that was on a student visa and then claimed he took in an asylum seeker? Poor guy is trying really really hard on his £1.3m contract with the BBC where he pays fuck all tax due to going through his LTD company. He’s the salt of the earth.

Really can't be arsed with this, but to my knowledge the 1948 universal declaration of human rights does not say that.

It says this

"Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.

This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

If I'm wrong, please direct me to the appropriate legislation.

Doesn’t take much to fact check that ‘refugees have to stop in first safe country’ is incorrect.

[KinkyKinkladze]

This is fucking embarrassing lads.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Have to name check here - Beefy , you are embarrassing yourself .
1 third of all illegals are from Albania - most of the illegals are strong young men who have paid thousands of pounds to get here , most illegals pass through safe countries to
come to our island but they want to come to our ‘racist island ‘ and do everything they can do to get here ,because we give them a better life than they get in their own country or the safe countries that they go through to get to ours .

It’s obvious you do zero , seriously , zero homework on the subject as do some other ignorant posters in this thread and instead spout out pure drivel on the matter .

Fucking embarrassing.

[carl_feedthegoat]

This is fucking embarrassing lads.

What’s embarrassing is the fucking ignorance of some
Posters who know fuckall about illegal immigration facts and figures into the UK .

That’s what’s embarrassing .

Where on earth has this rocket scientist story come from?
It was a guy from Balochistan, Pakistan studying law.
Seeing that he was placed with Lineker by the Refugees at Home charity, it seems unlikely that he's on a student visa.

Enjoy -

Gary Lineker has revealed he has welcomed a second refugee into his Surrey home, who is now training to become a rocket scientist.

Probably worth starting a thread in off topic for this nonsense now, so this football media thread doesn’t get locked.
