He stands by it as you can see…

BREAKING: Gary Lineker says he stands by his comments after he criticised the government's Illegal Migration Bill as "immeasurably cruel" and compared language used to announce it as "not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s"https://t.co/UYxDZtltHk

The Daily Mail and other right wings publications have gone mental about it.

To use the Nazi word in this context is disgusting and vile. The BBC should disassociate themselves from these types of comments and ask themselves the question 'is this the type of comment they expect from their publicly funded presenters?'

They were back on it again today, this guy seems to agree it is a great idea to get rid of Gary….

Today’s front page…

The Daily Mail so angry at Gary Lineker that they have only devoted a small part of their front page to attacking Harry & Meghan 😂

Well done Gary 👍 pic.twitter.com/XoU72OT6qi

Bias

This was a great question in the Commons, Clive Efford asked: “Which is the greater evidence of political bias. Gary Lineker criticising the government’s language from his private Twitter account or the chairman of the BBC giving donations to the Tory Party?”

Alastair Campbell backed up that Commons question as well.

"Are we seriously having the discussion that a tweet from @GaryLineker has done more damage to the BBC's impartiality, than your chairman who sorted an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson?"

Meme

The Poke shared this meme and it might well chime with you?

Is the Lineker story just smokescreen to hide ALL the other suff that the UK is suffering with at the moment?
