Gary Lineker.
 

What do you think about the Gary Lineker thing?
Or shouldn’t I ask seeing as I know less than nothing about football.
Except this is not about football.
It is about illegal migrants coming across the channel to be accommodated here.
And it is about the comments that were made by Lineker on his Twitter account.

His Twitter account is his business and he is of course entitled to his opinion.
But does it not strike you that his comments are not just political,,,but are hypocritical virtue signalling??
Yes…you can tell me that he took in one of the refugees, but again the cynic in me thinks this was to raise his profile and to virtue signal.

Lineker calls these illegal migrants poor souls’. He does not see them as a security threat in spite of the fact that many of these boats are loaded with young men.
Nor does he see them as economic migrants…which many of them are

He infers that they are leaving countries of persecution….so France is not a safe place then?
That is where these illegal migrant are setting off from.

Might this have something to do with the fact that while France is safe, it does not offer these,mainly men, food lodgings and a small sum of money each week?

Gary Lineker thinks it is OK for criminal gangs to traffic these migrants.
This is the same Gary Lineker that went to Qatar during the world cup(swelling his already mighty fortunes) in spite of Qatar having terrible human rights injustices.
Did he bleat about that while he was there?

I wonder what might have happened to him if he had taken up the human rights of the poor souls over in Qatar…or if he had likened their government to North Korea.

Marge, I am in full agreement with the above post, it is eloquent and well worded (as always), O/K everyone is entitled to their opinions but if he wants to get involved in politics then he should put his name forward as a candidate for which ever party he choses and not use the BBC as his political platform.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Just been checking the news channels, it seems that all his football mates are throwing their dummies out of their prams and trying to blackmail the "British", Broadcasting Corporation, Sack the lot of them, the savings made by not having to pay their exorbitant salaries will allow the government to slash the TV licence fee.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

It does not signify solidarity that they are also standing with this man.
It just shows them to be the sheep that they are….and virtue signalling sheep at that.

Have none of these other football entities joined the dots?
That keeping on taking these people who enter the UK illegally feeds into the criminal gangs and keeps these criminals in the money.
Also if someone pays seven thousand pounds to come here….how does that make them a poor refugee?

How many countries did the come through to get to the English Channel?
We’re all of those countries hostile to these young (mainly) men?
No of course not.
But none of these countries was offering a four star hotel as lodgings, giving them a mobile phone, money to buy whatever they needed. Health care needs met, Education delivered.
We treat these migrants better than we treat our pensioners or those veterans who are homeless.
We are attracting them because we are far too soft

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

I think there are more important things going on in this world, than to give such cover to the BBC/Lineker controverse.
Cheers

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

I do too.

This man knows very little about the history of the thirties, or the politics of the time.
Hitlers government were far left, anti Christian and fascist…but it seems that unless you agree with the views of these self opinionated celebs(that is how they see themselves) then your opinion is not worth a light.

It seems that if we do not subscribe to their view of things then we are rampant racists and bigots…there is no such thing as agreeing to disagree.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

my thoughts on the lineker tweet,
I think his tweet that the policies of the british government on the illegal boats are comparable with the nazi policies of war time germany are ridiculous and wrong, he should of been man enough to acknowledge that and apologised for that tweet,

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

So it has been proved what we have known for a long time….Gary Lineker is bigger than the BBC.
He will be grinning all over his smug face.

Tim Davie acted without thinking and the Beeb shot themselves in the foot…well, no they didn’t….they blew themselves up.

As for Gary Lineker, well it shows that he is happy to support criminal gangs who care nothing about the safety of anyone who wants a boat ride..he is happy for these people to let ‘those without voices’ drown in the Channel.
How very humanitarian Gary and all your left leaning woke, virtue signalling chums.
I hope that the BBC is defunded very soon because it does not deserve to be the national broadcaster.

Gary Lineker#patronsaintoftraffickers.

Hope the Pope has it on his calendar to induct him into the sainthood soon, because that is how he sees himself.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Be Careful Marge, The God botherers, Woke Brigade and the like, will be saying nasty things about you but I doubt if, like me and others on Accy Web you will loose any sleep over it.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Taddy my little comment will go unnoticed because unlike GL and the likes of him I have no following and no one gives a fig about my opinion.
I feel sure that even the God bothered will never notice my comment.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

is worth voting in the next general election if the likes of rio ferdinand, gary lineker, ian wright, alan Shearer, alex scott, can over rule the policies you voted for, what happening to this country of ours

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Excellent Comment, please keep it up.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

These retired footballers need to decide if they want to be presenters, commentators or whether they want to get themselves on a ballot paper.
If they think they could do a better job in politics they are deluded..
If their brains were dynamite they would not have enough to part their hair.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

It was just concocted media distraction, and got Handcock and the Covid WhatsApps off the front pages.
Soon as that was achieved, St.Gary was back on his throne.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

It’s not as if Sir Gary (only a matter of time:rolleyes:) doesn’t have previous as regards his political tweets.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Is that St Gary#patron saint of illegal people traffickers?Exile.

Yes, most of the problems are either concocted by the media or made worse by the media frenzy that they provoke.

It just goes to show that a lot of what we said about the pandemic is now turning out to be true.
They couldn’t fast track the vaccines and vaccinations because the virus was not deadly (or deadly enough)
Recent Cochrane Research for October 2022 shows that the use of masks did nothing to prevent the spread of infection.
And for those who do not know, Cochrane is the gold standard of independent research.
That lockdown did irreparable damage to business, finance, education and the mental health of the population….that we will be feeling the effects of this for decades to come.

That our politicians were led by fools and did not follow the science….well, maybe they did, but it was the wrong science.
And lo and behold….this virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab….whether this was by accident or design we will never truly know.
Except there was a global preparedness forum back in the early 2000s where a situation like this was discussed….and isn’t it strange that those who were there…Anthony Fauci being one of them, were instrumental in the controlling of government actions to deal with thi Plandemic

Where now are those people, who told those of us who dissented against what we were being told, to go get our tin foil hats on….? That we were talking rubbish. Although they may not have used those exact words. Those who believed everything they were fed by the governments and the media.
Exile it will all come out one day, regardless of the diversionary tactics that are employed to bamboozle the population.
Not that we can do much about it because even the choice at the ballot box is a choice of whether to be poisoned or drowned.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Taddy, with regard to opinions, well like bumholes..everyone has one and some are dirtier than others regardless of how expensive the toilet tissue is that should clean up the act.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

This man…St Gary#patronsaintofillegalpeopletraffickers, would have us believe that he is educated and erudite, but if you look at his political tweets you will see that he frequently regurgitates the views of others and posts them as his own….he must not check his facts either…because frequently he is just plain wrong, dishonest and a prize hypocrite….a prize rich hypocrite.
Which of course alters the perspective of those who know no different.
He is a grinning odious skunk of a man.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

I hope so, Margaret, but it won’t be first in this country. Our so-called public inquiry is just another exercise in letting the grass grow. How long did the Hillsborough enquiry take?
I have more faith, despite its faults, in the ability of the USA legal and legislative system to get closer to the truth. That’s because they don’t have a sacred cow like the NHS to ‘protect’. And I believe it is starting to happen in their courts and congress.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Two very interesting (and relatively short) videos from Dr. John Campbell that support why I think we should put our faith in the American rather than the British political systems to reveal some of the truth about the last three years’ shenanigans.

This is how our politicians do things…

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Lineker is nothing but a big headed overpaid PRAT. I do not know of ONE ordinary person that thinks otherwise.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

He is going to be the end of the BBC.
No person employed by a company of any sort should be bigger and more influential than the organisation they belong to.
The BBC created the monster that GL has become by letting him believe he was worth far more than he is.
We are paying for the BBC to employ this gurning skunk….WHY?
There are better presenters out there….bring on Jeff Stelling….good presenter and a funny guy

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

great idea margaret but we could get sick of hartlepool on MOTD lol

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

Well Exile....looking at the evidence given by Dr Redfield...isn't it strange that we were saying the same things but our voices. went not just unheard, but ridiculed.
Of course this was because we(those of us who did not accept the pap being fed to us by media and government) did not agree with the preferred narrative.


It will eventually come out.
But the damage to the population is already done.
The question that i pose is.....Will you trust them again with your health and well being.
They told us that they followed the science...nothing could be further from the truth.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

No, and it’s not just about my health that I won’t trust Governments and the bought media unless the evidence of my own eyes and gut tells me it’s worth the risk of trusting what they say.

Re: Gary Lineker.
 

No, me neither.
I did not believe a word that they uttered…that they repressed other scientific sources made me very wary.
Within a very short space of time all the peer reviewed evidence by scientists regarding the wearing of masks, was gone.
We were railroaded into a vaccination program whose values/dangers were still to be defined.
If my memory serves me rightly this vaccine is still in trials until later on this year, yet it was passed for use with no thought of the long term consequences which are still not known.
