The language that has been directed at minorities both citizens and non-nationals by the govt since 2010 has been the same language that started off that domino effect in the 30s though.

I agree with you saying that bombing the Middle East and other countries was what created more migration, but that doesn’t make the language or policies any different.

The UK govt refer to people seeking asylum in this country as a swarm, as an invasion, as illegals, as pretty much anything other than as people. The UK govt sent advertising vans driving round telling people to “go back home” and put up posters of massive queues saying “we are full”

There is a very good scene in the film Inglorious Basterds, where Standartenführer Hans Landa explains very well to a French farmer harbouring Jews, how the Nazi party could treat Jewish people the way they did. Comparing them to rats. I recommend you check it out.

I will for sure.

Interestingly the documentary “last days” explains they were so happy in Hungary & just didn’t believe the evil would spread. I understand what you are saying but check it out to see the levels of pure evil. Governments have used this language to suit any situation, the gas lighting c*nts just did it to the nurses. However after reading below I can see the drip drip effect before pure evil takes hold.

Every day is a school day. Like many others, I had no objection to Lineker tweeting on politics, but I felt that the nazi reference was ott.
But, I checked and found to my astonishment that Germany had a plan to deport Jews to Madagascar in 1940. Madagascar was then a French colony and Germany planned to take it over after hostilities. Google Madagascar Plan.
Also in 1938, Germany deported jews of Polish origin, but German citizens, to Poland where they effectively became stateless. Other countries were invited to take them. Britain declined. Germany at that time distinguished between ‘good Jews’ (German and Austrian) and ’bad’ Jews, mainly of Polish origin. Who knew?

I never knew that, interesting.

It really makes me laugh, the Tory MPs who say they much prefer to watch Match of the Day with no punditry and no theme tune. These people are too fucking stupid to realise that Sky Sports have been offering exactly that on YouTube for years and years. And you can watch it in your own time instead of waiting for 10:30 on a Saturday night.

I don't care for the punditry so I just watch the highlights of PL games when they come out. In total across a whole weekend it takes me maybe 3 mins to watch every single goal.

It’s been explained, some people are creatures of habit & sit in front of the box & use the channels available.

I don’t buy papers anymore or watch the news, it’s all on my phone. You’ll find others do. I really don’t find the entertainment on MOTD Gary, Alan & Danny chatting shit but I’ll watch it to see goals I wouldn’t think of watching.

It’s not all bullshit however strange it is for yourself. I can’t get my head round twitter, others use it for all their news.

I will say I love the National league review on sky, no bantz, no bullshit & a review of the day. Maybe that’s what I’m after & I would say my political beliefs are in line with Linekers.
 
not watched motd for years with the notable exceptions of the final day when we win the league.
Found myself skipping thru just to get to city’s game .
These days I just rewatch the game.
As for lineker?
Paid 1.5 million for saying around 200 words on a Saturday night.
Has become too vocal on none football matters for me.
I think the wife watches one program on the bbc me none, might stop paying the licence.
Anybody stopped paying it and any comebacks from them?

Sadly starting to think Bluemoon is heading towards Twitter territory and being infiltrated by trolls and bots - some of the repeated shite being peddled by more and more posters is getting tiresome

Maybe I’m just being paranoid

...I know what you mean... it was only the other week someone on here was claiming they nearly bought the club!

The only reason I pay is because I want to watch live football, although I don't know how they could prove you were watching live games on Sky, BT, etc. Does anyone know if cancelling means you cant have a Prime account as they have live sport, but I also use it to shop online and watch channels that I don't need a license for. I really want to cancel as I have no wish to subsidise the likes of Lineker and the gutless cretins who supported him.

I really hate that people are pretending that he compared the Conservatives to the Nazis, because that's not what he said and you all know it.

He said that the language used by the Conservatives to justify their new policy is similar to the language the Nazis used to justify their actions, which is, linguistically speaking, accurate. Factual.

A fine distinction.
 
There have been numerous examples recently of other non political and incredibly, political presenters voicing their opinions on social media, but they chose Gary Lineker as their place to make a stand. (in the end it has been a successful dead cat operation to deflect from the whatsapp debacle)

I don't mind any of them revealing who they are (or who actually pays or influences them). It gives me insight into whether they are hypocrites (imho). If I don't like it or them _ I won't watch em! Everyones choice.
 
i wonder what his views are on people being having to pay a tax to watch tv, some of whom have been put in prison for refusing to do so, the same tax which he is happy to collect over one million pounds a year from.
 
All these people kicking up a fuss saying Lineker should not express political opinions are probably perfectly OK with Alan Sugar photoshopping a photo of Adolf Hitler alongside Jeremy Corbyn or Jeremy Clarkson tweeting he would line up all strikers in front of their families & have them shot. In fact I bet they sent likes to their comments on their twitter accounts. I think Gary should carry on tweeting & holding this corrupt, sleaze.bag government to account & ignore the wankers at the Daily Mail & Daily Express. I wouldn't even wipe my arse on these newspapers. More shit would come off them.

You really need to do some research before posting - nobody goes to prison for not paying the license fee. You can be sent to prison for refusal to pay the fine or refusing to engage with bailiffs. You then go to prison for contempt of court.
