Oh the red of course. Greys are so common.
Gary Lineker has said he will āspeak up for those who have no voiceā as he defended his comments comparing the Governmentās crackdown on illegal immigration to Nazi Germany.
The Match of the Day host called the new Illegal Migration Bill an āimmeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people, in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30sā.
The plans, unveiled by Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, on Tuesday, effectively ban those arriving via an illegal route from claiming asylum in the UK.
Anyone caught attempting to enter the country illegally will also be barred from returning or from claiming British citizenship in the future.
Mr Linekerās remarks were widely condemned by critics, who said they were inappropriate for a BBC employee.
However, Mr Lineker wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: āI have never known such love and support in my life than Iām getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly).
āI want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot.
āIāll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all.ā

Hopkiss turns out to have been real.
Lineker seems an alright sort. He has no particular reason to raise his head above the parapet although any reference to Nazi Germany always carries a risk of being misconstrued as downplaying the atrocities/genocide

Is any country anywhere allowed to limit immigration or is it straight to the nazi germany comparison?
Thatās the way its gone, I suppose.

Lineker has the right wing nut jobs frothing at the mouth merely by voicing a couple of home truths.
Itās apparently grand for the BBC Chairman to facilitate an Ā£800,000 loan to a Tory Prime Minister but as soon as you start considering refugees as human beingsā¦cancel him!!!

They fell out over the earth being flat.
Sharp didnāt make a āsignificant error of judgementā though. He got exactly what he planned wanted and paid for.
Oh absolutely.
And that sort of barefaced lying and corruption is grand as far as Tories are concerned.
But consider refugees as human beings, and itās apparently a resigning matter.

Itās the idiots go to reference. Have any of the bleeding hearts answered the question - is anything but unlimited immigration policies for a country, just like 1930ās Germany?
The new āsensible, middle ground viewpointā from the right wing nut jobs is that we need to be nicer to people who act like Nazis.
Persuasive.
Fucking German, what would she know about how the Nazis behaved.
