Hertsscot Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Seems to be more news coverage about Gary Lineker and who's (not) hosting MotD than the UK Government policy that caused him to tweet in the first place. Call me cynical but it's convenient that their friends at the BBC have deflected the attention away from another inhumane Tory policy pandering to the Express, Mail and Telegraph.

SamP Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 As much as I don't like the BBC or the British Tories. I also cannot stand people who try and reference anything bad here to Nazi Germany in the 1930's. That is lazy and stupid. There are a thousand things Lineker could have said to put his view over but not that. Fuck him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. Doesn't make it right though. I can't stand the tories or British Govt but in no way you can compare them or the language used to Nazi Germany. Anyway. That's my point.

And you think the words used are leading to UK getting the gas chambers built??? I happen to believe we live in a civilised democracy in the UK. It has many faults and I am praying for Independence. But in your quote you suggesting this could lead to another holocaust. Why do some people compare some things that happen now to Nazi Germany?? That is beyond my ken. I agree with Lineker but he shouldn't have referred to that. That is my only point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All publicity is good publicity though. His stock has risen as he is standing up to the BBC. He is set for life or many lives anyway. But certainly got everyone talking about him right enough. If the BBC sack him who would want to take over? I can't see anyone of standing doing that. I think they will say right let's get back to work Gary very soon to try and save some kind of face.

TDYER63 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The BBC have opened a can of worms here.

The jews weren't illegal immigrants though. It's all if's and buts. My only point this morning was that I don't like people comparing us to Nazi Germany. Not just Lineker. If you think we are then that is a matter for you. We life in a (nearly) free society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your only point is wrong because Lineker was right - The language used by certain political parties and individuals IS eerily similar to the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany Once you take away someone's rights you can do whatever you like with them However you can't take someone's rights away at the flick of a switch - you have to have public support You get that by propaganda and language so that you debase the people you want to "get rid of" There was no plan for extermination at the beginning - it just developed over time because it became the natural outcome But it started with an ideology and language Who knows where the UK will be in 10-15 years - but as soon as you start the ball rolling on this sort of shit it becomes very easy to go down a dangerous road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
