I haven’t watched Motd for years it’s a load of shite.
If you have had several letters I'm surprised they haven't passed you onto to Akinika, they will at some point and you will really love the experience they are a joy to deal with!I’ve never paid tv licence. Get a letter every few months warning there will be officers making a visit etc they never come
Did the cost of City's bench still get mentioned?
No, you need to improve your comprehension skills. What is said was, and I quote “I’m not saying that this kind of comparison can never be done”. If a holocaust survivor sees a connection based on their experience then they obviously have more leeway than someone like Lineker who does not have that background.No no no.
You said that comparing this governments policies to 1930s Germany was holocaust denial.
Thats what Joan salter did.
What's Mr Blobby doing?I know there would be a licensing issue, but replacing with spitting image puppets would have been entertaining … we do need a Micah puppet
He has no need and nothing personal to gain, you’re right about that. He feels obligated to use his fame for something positive, not just for his own satisfaction
He’s not a news presenter, and even the BBC’s news presenters have for years written far more opinionated things on twitter and in papers.
There’s no comparison to be made with Pep talking about City, because Gary Linekar isn’t employed in the political sphere. He doesn’t work in politics, nor in political coverage
A comparison can be made with Pep talking about politics, which he has even used City pressers to do in the case of Catalan independence.

Likewise, it is understandable that a holocaust survivor would be prone to over sensitivity to such issues, and that their judgement might be skewed by that, as all of our judgements are informed by our life experiences. I think they have every right to talk about their experiences, I don’t think that same right extends to those who never suffered the same fate. It doesn’t mean they are right, of course.
I’m discussing the issue directly. Lineker was using it rhetorically to emphasise a point. There is a difference. If you stomp round saying everything that annoys you is like the Nazis then you’re trivialising the evils of the Nazis.The comparison doesn’t change its meaning based on who says it. One might be more informed, sure, but the statement cannot be valid from one and holocaust denial when someone agrees with them.
Plus if your argument is that no one but holocaust survivors can speak to 1930s Germany then what the hell are you doing arguing that there’s no comparison - unless you were there?
