Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

[Bluebeemer]

First and foremost, Gary Lineker was, shamefully, historically inaccurate and politically inaccurate in his now infamous tweet.
The political, social and diplomatic situation in Europe in the 1930s was, in all references, not only one of fear for millions of Europeans, but also a time when various regimes across Europe were torturing and imprisoning people simply on the basis of their culture and religion. Armies invaded regions which then had alien political systems imposed upon them. Subsequently, millions died either on the battlefield or in the cities of Europe.
For a mature adult Lineker has shown alarming ignorance, an appalling lack of knowledge of 1930s Europe. He has also shown an arrogant self importance of his standing.
That alone requires that Lineker should have been shown the door from the BBC.
The fact that he is a vastly overpaid employee, whilst the poorly paid and pensioners have to subsidise his million pound pay packet beggars belief.
The BBC has lost a golden opportunity to rid itself of the Lineker burden on it it's budget, and, in consequence, been publicly humiliated.
Lineker does not have the right to express his opinion on his Twitter platform, secured by his BBC privilege. That the opinion, as explained, was grossly inaccurate and untruthful, leaves this so called 'National treasure' shredded.
As for MOTD he is merely wallpaper alongside the more erudite and entertaining Shearer, Richards and Wright.
Sky had no qualms on removing Keys and Gray.

You’re a week and a half late.
I won’t spell out why I think you’re wrong because it’s all been said on the thread that actually covered this.

He’s copied and pasted on that thread as well. It must be the talking points out of Gammon Central.

There’s an enormous amount of nonsense in this post but calling shearer, richards and wright ‘erudite’ is fucking mental. The bbc apologised to GL as they rightly should have done.

The shameful way this shower respond to people who helped us when we needed help by spitting in their eye

MoD apologises for asking Afghans to get Taliban’s approval to come to UK

I've seen some pretty hot takes during this whole debacle but I think that one has shattered the foundations of reality.

Shearer? Entertaining!? Erudite!!! Fuck me.

I suspect he accuses someone of being ignorant about the 1930's that he himself is ignorant of the goings on in the same era in Russia, Italy and Imperial Japan as these do not merit a mention by him

Historically inaccurate?

"They should not try to deceive the public by dressing up what is an extreme political argument in the fake garb of humanitarianism"

"Someone loaded with the burden of humanitarian sentiment falls back to the level of those who are unable to raise themselves in the scale of being"

"This humanitarian idiocy becomes fashionable, and by submitting to these aberrations and sparing individuals, one sacrifices the future of millions."

Spot the Braverman quote (the others are Hitler)

Fucking ghoul

The thing is, this photo isn’t a moment captured by accident mid conversation, it’s a thought out process to appeal to people whose votes they need in the next election.
