Iâm looking at Sunakâs wonderful solution to the Northern Ireland problem. At first sight it may look a good idea, but isnât it going to be wide open to abuse? Goods from mainland UK fir NI go through the green lane, unchecked. Goods destined for the Republic still need checking. Just what will stop goods going through the green lane then being repackaged to pass, again unchecked, into the Republic? And likewise in reverse. I see smoke and mirrors.

Was always going to be a fudge but as long as they can pull the wool over the eyes of the electorateâŚ.
The Irish border is pretty wide and not policed in most areas. I predict a lot of cross-border shenanigans and a witty comedy film funded by FĂs Ăireann/Screen Ireland and Channel 4

Tbf if sunak has found a way to appease the majority then he deserves some credit

First they came for Lineker, now itâs that well known left wing loony Sir David Attenboroughâs turn.
Fucking snowflakes and their cancel culture!

So now you can get sacked due to Government Pressute for expressing your opinions.
Maybe he hit the nail on the head more than he imagined.

For the Tories to have any chance of winning the next election they must have total control of the media with the ability to squash anything negative and to gaslight incessantly.
They have started working on an agenda of pandering to fears over immigration (Brexit 2), removing all EU legislation (taking back control) and creating a totally false illusion that things are getting better

Theyâre putting on MOTD with no presenters and no pundits, because no-one will do it. Theyâre in a mess. Farce.

MoTD Extra?
Thing is, Gary is this generationsâ Des Lynham.
He is a smiley face while everything else is doom & gloom.
Watching from afar, since the whole project fear, Government messaging has been (Iâll be polite) non smiley.
I read what Scotty posted and he is clearly right as are everyone else, Christ Iâm going to Auschwitz twice a week and no, that is not where we are at, but, how many Afghan refugee Women have entered the UK via official refugee channels since the fall of Kabul?
The West destroyed a flourishing nation after another in the cause of democracy during the âArab Springâ. Are those people better off now they have corrupt Governments like you?
Not once have I read of a differentiation between economic and political refugees in this whole sorry mess.
Christ, Iâm a fvcking Political refugee, expelled from my home by love and the fact my wife didnât have an IPhone for 5 years before Brexit.
The language and the boats are fuel for the blue Rinse brigade.
None of it starts to address the real issue that the system is broken.
And thatâs before we ask why so many in the boats are Albanian
Could be a quiet show.

Absolutely right, sums up the situation concisely. The arrogance of these people knows no bounds, they really do have utter contempt for anybody who dares challenge them. This move to control the media is sinister, again it just reinforces the point Lineker was making. And itâs blatant one-sidedness is another example of their arrogance. Gary Lineker is a sports presenter not a current affairs or political journalist. He wasnât espousing his legitimately held views whilst sitting in his presenters chair, he was off duty, expressing his opinion on social media. Just like many actors who are employed by the BBC do, are they to be suspended too for having political opinions that donât align with the extreme right wing government we are now saddled with? Where does this end? I was reading a list yesterday of at least six occasions where Jeremy Clarkson should have been suspended for making derogatory and untrue statements, including long tirades against the Labour Party, in front of camera while presenting programs for the BBC. Not even a reprimand. Just this week the BBC were forced to apologise for allowing Nadine Dorries to spout blatant lies about Sue Gray, unchallenged on the World at One. They were also forced to apologise for allowing Fiona Bruce to trivialise domestic abuse on Question Time by talking over and shutting down a panelist who pointed out Stanley Johnsonâs documented record as a wife beater in a discussion about his impending Knighthood. She does this sort of thing every week, again without challenge by the powers that be at the BBC until they are forced to by viewerâs reactions.
And then of course we have the ultimate hypocrisy and arrogance of Richard Sharp, the man who suspended Lineker, who doesnât see any problems or issues of impartiality in the fact that he personally donated tens of thousands of pounds to the Conservative Party, was a chum of the Prime Minister, who facilitated a loan of nearly a million pounds for said Prime Minister to bail him out and get him out of a financial hole of his own making, which would have threatened his position. Oh no, nothing to see there, all impartial, proper and above board. They really do take us for fools, and sadly in many, many cases they are probably correct in doing so. Too many people willing to bend over and say, âplease donât stick it in too farâ.,

Sorry but he is not, 1930s Germany was NOT about the holocaust that followed, it was the start of blaming foreigners for the problems, about silencing any voice of opposition, about propaganda to get âgeneral publicâ to believe the shite spouted by the leading party. That is what Lineker was referring to.
Its typical of the Government and their media lackeys to try and divert from the real issue, by suggesting its IS about the Holocaust and how it somehow âmocks itâ⌠so we must not fall into that trap
Whilst I applaud the presenters and commentators for their solidarity, the problem is that this is now the bigger story, because the media is making it so - The government happily avoiding the real issues of the inhuman and illegal policies they are seeking to introduce (knowing that sadly, there are many who agree with them, even if they wonât actively say soâŚ). They must be quite happy that every paper is now making this about the BBC v Lineker and not âGovernment are despicable in attitude towards asylum seekers and migrants seeking a better lifeâ
Iâll leave this here (This is what the story SHOULD be about and what Lineker was commenting on)
