Just saw a headline on the front page while getting my lunch suggesting it’s time for him to be sacked from match of the day…
Now back at the office to have a Google to see what crimes he’s committed.. apparently he put a compassionate tweet out about migrants being human beings, something this excuse of a paper appears to suggest is all lies?

What strange times these are…

Welcome to Brexit Britain! Where you don’t have to pretend you’re not a nasty, hate-filled little racist any more. It’s great!

5 pages. Last three of which will be the same four posters.

i’ll put the kettle on….bring your own biscuits

I’d better get in early then.

Even with all I’ve seen of this country in the last few months, I’m still incredulous at the reaction to Lineker’s tweets. Some people really ought to be ashamed of themselves.

that reminds me, i need crisps for dinner

Gonzy; didn’t you get the memo? biscuits out/anything you can put jam on in.

Lineker, good English name. Mean’s ”Potato ambassador” in the old tongue.

Leftie handwringer acting like a leftie handwringer shocker.

reactionary right wing bell end in reactionary right wing bell end shocka

Goddam leftie handwringers getting in the way of good old fashioned xenophobia, bunch of bloody pooves the lot of ’em

The Sun blow with the wind and they see that the wind is currently blowing in a very nasty direction.

The Sun blow with the wind

Thats where the answers are, my friend

He’s been acused of lying, but ‘The Sun’ – that’s right, ‘The Sun’… seriously. ‘The Sun’ is takign the moral high ground on speaking the truth…

My prediction:

He won’t be sacked by the BBC, or Walkers or whoever else.

He will be more popular than before as people who have zero interest in Football now know who he is.

Is may even be a turning point, these things are often a seemingly unimportant turn of events, because it’s argument number 9992034 or whatever that’s line has been drawn between Brexit and Remain but the right have **** up, because it’s an argument only the truly arsehole me, me, me right can be against him on and they’ve picked a fight with GARY LINEKER, I hate football, I’m not English but even I know the man can usually do no wrong in the public eye, they might as well have picked a fight with the Late Terry Wogan, David Attenborough or David Jason – they think it’s all over, it is now.

In a weird way I’m kind of glad to see The Sun showing how ugly it can really be.

They’re not going to be doing themselves any favours at all in the long run and will regret this, I think.

edit: well said PJ – just what I was thinking, it could be a tipping point for a lot of people.

The Sun / Mail / Express

All that is crap about this country.

Expressing compassion is now a poltical statement?

And all that read/buy and covet/contribute to them.

And nearly every shop in Liverpool, combined with over 19 and rising as crowdfunding allows full body adverts on cabs in the City, declaring boycott The S*n.
I wonder why

BBC Sports presenter getting involved in politics.

Really? Or is it a BBC sports presenter showing a bit of compassion towards those less fortunate than himself by using social media as a platform to do so. Tear gas and demolishing migrant camps being the obvious solution to the problem in France which no doubt your right-wing arse is all in favour of.

Gosh, another ex footballer / celebrity calling for compassion and more help for refugees whilst reportedly engaging in aggressive tax avoidance schemes that ultimately enable them to paying anything towards this.

So, what did he say?

People of Liverpool, I salute you.

You know, i can empathise with and understand political and social views from across the spectrum, even if i don’t agree with them. I can work out where the ideas come from and the structure (educational, financial, social, media and so on) that led to people developing these ideas. And appreciate why they think in such a different way to me.

But some people are just arseholes or imbeciles.

Or both.

Gonzy; didn’t you get the memo? biscuits out/anything you can put jam on in.

bring your own jam insertable food/snack types instead!!

**** it, I don’t like Crisps or Football, but I’m going to watch Match of the Day with a big bag of Walkers whever it’s on.

I’ll raise a bag of cheese and onion to that.

BREXIT really has been every racists dream come true

BREXIT really has been every racists dream come true

Even tho i voted remain, purely because i KNEW i didnt have all the facts either way, if Brexit means the end of Murdoch’s empires stranglehold on this country, i’ll cheer.

Only 5 pages – how dare you ?

This can be spun out for much longer than that, and it’ll be the fault of all 17.4 million people who voted for Brex…

Oh, we’re already there.

Moan on…

Even tho i voted remain, purely because i KNEW i didnt have all the facts either way, if Brexit means the end of Murdoch’s empires stranglehold on this country, i’ll cheer.

You’ll be disappointed,then. Murdoch has been recorded to say that he loves the UK government as they listen to him, whereas the EU Parliament don’t. I think Murdoch is loving Brexit, and the scenario couldn’t have worked out better if he’d planned it himself [ 😯 ]

The total eclipse campaign is spreading beyond the borders of Merseyside tho, particularly in Northern Ireland.

We just need to boycott his other ventures too if you can give up / find alternatives to his TV and broadband services

I’m saddened to see that a couple of the usual suspects have resorted to throbberdom in this thread.
