Gary Lineker versus the BBC was a Match of the Day that suited the Tories. It allowed the UK Government to deflect attention from their vile Illegal Immigration Bill when it ought to have been under scrutiny.
The country has been fixated on the fallout over Lineker’s tweet at a time Home Secretary Suella Braverman should have been held to account.
MotD presenter Lineker made the reasonable observation that the language around this awful bill was “not dissimilar” to that used in Germany in the 30s. He was right, as anyone with a passing knowledge of Nazi propaganda could tell you.
