Gary Lineker has joined in with many others in laughing at the Daily Mail’s woke list.
The former England legend was named as one of the wokest celebrities in the UK, alongside actress Emma Watson, the Archbishop of Canterbury and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Gary was included on the list after he was misquoted over his comments about Nazi Germany and the UK’s immigration policy.
Awful
He tweeted: “Good heavens, this is beyond awful,” Lineker wrote. “There is no huge influx [of refugees].
“We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s.”
This led to the BBC presenter being taken off air, and all fellow Match of the Day presenters refused to work in-solidarity with him.
After a climbdown, and political row, he returned to his football presenting role, after one very bizarre episode of MoTD.
Daily Mail’s Woke List
Gary tweeted: “Very honoured to be on such a list. Thank you to this normally unpleasant newspaper for showing a degree of kindness.”
