I don't actually think he's wrong. The Tories are acting like modern Nazis and a lot of their voters are very much of the 'just following orders' variety that enable this debacle.

You are right. I was actually on the 'Fuck Gary Lineker' bandwagon (while also being absolutely disgusted by Braverman ). But I know I was wrong after realising how the bbc are being blatant hypocrites and even holocaust survivors having the same opinion as Lineker. Fuck the BBC.
 
Liverpool and Bournemouth players will refuse to speak to the BBC before and after today’s Premier League game, in solidarity with Gary Lineker, according to Talksport.
Isn’t this too much?
Fucking hell, footballers and clubs are going about morals and solidarity. Then there is some Abramovic, some Mansour or Newcastle Saudis…

Just like Shearer outrage about BBC yet he’s happy clapper for the Saudis. Doesn’t make fucking sense. But it’s a world we’re living in.

On final note, BBC made themselves look like fooles.
But if anyone thinks Gary Lineker actually cares about migrants… He probably just can’t stand Tories.

But Gary Lineker, pundits, players, commentators didn't blow this up.

If the thin skinned on the right just ignored the tweet, nothing would have happened.

They didn't tho. After whinging about 'snowflakes' and cancel culture and statues being taken down, the right saw a chance to feign outrage in order to divide and distract.

It's become a massive thing because of the Tories - on so many levels.

No inhumane legislation. No tweet.
No provocative language. No tweet.
No need to distract from the shit the country is in. No outrage at the tweet.
No hypocrisy. No outrage.

That it has now exploded in their faces is on them. Hope it continues.

A lot of people obviously care that the BBC has done something wrong and its relationship with the tories has been pissing people off for years, and this is the outcome of all that, not just this one incident.

However, like you said, these pundits are a bunch of champagne socialists who don't give a fuck about migrants or morality beyond sticking it to the tories. If Labour was doing this shit, they'd be a lot less vocal, granted that Labour would be more subtle about it.

We saw that with the border prisons in America, a lot of shrieking when Trump did it, but Biden has largely continued the same policies and the media has gone quiet. What many of these people object to is the harsh language and the people doing the act, not the act itself.
 
Maybe he should think of change of career with how much he tweets about politics etc
Then he won't have to worry about what he says.

Great half term treat for my boy at the time.
