The former footballer knows how to rock.
Gary is more than just a presenter
Hundreds of millions of people read the main BBC ratings. Lineker writes about politics and after a new joke was taken off the air. Britain, at the hands of the Conservatives, has decided to reject the petitions of illegal migrants. The number of illegal Channel crossings has risen to 45,000, a real problem, if exaggerated for political purposes.
Lineker did not defend illegal migrants. He was outraged that they planned to violate the basic human right to a trial. No shelter. Immediate expulsion. Prohibition of entry and citizenship by legal procedure in the future forever. The law is incredibly harsh, so Gary didn’t choose the words:
There is no large influx. We accept far fewer refugees than other large countries European Union. An immeasurably harsh policy directed against the most vulnerable people is no different than the one used by Germany in the 1930s.
Lineker has captured the politicians with the comparison. Britain declared war on the Reich in 1939. The French surrendered and the British fought. The Nazis demolished Coventry. London was bombed for 57 consecutive days. Old Trafford destroyed Manchester United he played on the Citizens field for years. The Germans “punished” the British for their bravery by killing civilians.
Lineker is legally protected
Let’s not play the victim of a multi-millionaire on a salary of less than £2m a year. Gary has tough lawyers, he’s not a reporter under contract with the Air Force, he can unsubscribe with internal codes. Lineker also used “Godwin’s law”: like the dispute on the Web, the appearance of a comparison citing Nazism and Hitler tends towards one.
Gary has made a mistake at this point, although the British certainly have no liberality towards visitors. It has always been like this, it is difficult to get a local visa. It didn’t matter to Lineker that he was denied entry for legal reasons. On the other hand, Gary didn’t say anything bad. A country of 67 million always needs an influx of workers.
It’s funny, when you watch the England team, yelling that all migrants are lazy and useless people. And who raised the players for you? Players’ parents often work, as did Rashford’s mother, three jobs. Lineker does not protect criminals, but the poor. Conservatives have concocted a law that violates human rights.
The amendments are criticized by lawyers. It’s just that Lineker’s Air Force bosses are friends with conservatives, not liberals. Gary refused to apologize and go on the air, if for this it is necessary to give up beliefs and points of view.
Colleagues supported him with a boycott
Air Force says I’m not for Tories or Whigs, but for all Britons? Hard to believe, judging by the reaction to an opinion of the host of the legendary show “Match of the Day”. Lineker’s bosses have revealed that they are linked to bigwigs in the party of Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of Great Britain. A native of a Hindu family tries to please the right boys.
But experience is not enough. Sunak earned nearly a billion pounds with his wife before his new career, he doesn’t understand the poor. But he has a hook to Lineker’s left. Gary’s colleagues refused to go on the air, because the presenter had the right to an opinion. Even at the time with the rhetoric of the Germans was not mistaken, because the Nazis also started with a softer rhetoric.
The British forget that they have a country with an aging population, where children are born more often than visitors. Who will be working in ten years? Conservatives toy with the electorate with stories of lazy migrant bandits, and for Lineker, human rights. Sunak would not have been British prime minister if his parents had refused to move to Southampton in the past.
“Air Force Standards” irrevocably obsolete
The Air Force bosses are in trouble. Gary will be taken gladly by the Qataris, even though he has already criticized them for the death of workers world Cup. Since the summer, the Arabs will rename their project to “TNT Sport”, they need a new face. Freedom of speech also suffers. And this means that all normal journalists are for Lineker. Even those who vote for the Tories. The Air Force leadership has already lost. Still lucky if there is no resignation.
Under pressure, conservatives can change the law. normal political process. You can use it at home, for example, by deleting FanID. And British workers mass media he will definitely win after the scandal. On the next resounding declaration, they will nod to Lineker if they try to shut their mouths. The boycott will work, even the enemies will side with Gary.
Nobody says you have to accept criminals. Just give them the right to explain why they risked their lives and sailed illegally. If the reasons are valid, the next procedure is legalization, otherwise deportation. In this story, only football fans were temporarily affected. The BBC channel was left without hosts of several shows at once, they had to show reviews without ratings.
Now Lineker will consider returning to the Air Force. They tried to shut his mouth. Today in London they will rewrite one law, spitting on human rights and freedom of speech, and tomorrow the second. If everyone is silent, then who will stop them? Shearer, Wright and the rest of the pundits have done a great job supporting Lineker. Freedom of speech also includes the right to a clearly incorrect opinion.
If so, Lineker would have been ridiculed. That’s just the leader is right. A normal coast guard in Europe is enough for the flow to decrease significantly. The problem arose when the French turned a blind eye to the boats to get rid of the Albanian, Afghan and Iranian illegal immigrants. Sea vessels do not grow on trees, someone sells them, there is a record. The police of the two countries did not do their job.
Lineker couldn’t compare his politicians to the Nazis, that’s too much. But the scandal reminded the British of two basic human rights at once. To due process and freedom of speech. Gary is certainly a great master at generating discussions. As a result, today the heads of the Air Force apologized to him and put him back on the air.
