If this is the level of scrutiny we are going to have with reality, why not claim that the german panzers who invaded France were immigrants? And the french should have accepted them with open arms?
But he is in 'their pocket' because he takes his £1.3m from the taxpayer!
Thank you, nice to see some clarity – truth matters and even/especially the untruthful know this
Bbc never been non bias in both ways , political agenda ridden and woke at the same time. What personal tweets Gary Lineker makes are nothing to do with bbc when political views by others in charge are ignored. He didn’t get the idiot Boris alone and then get a job suspiciously out of it
As per usual with Mr O'Brien, It certainly is NOT the truth though. O'brien would not know the truth if it dropped on him in a ten yard skip.
I don’t agree with some of the language the Conservative Party uses, nor standing in front of a podium with the words ‘Stop the boats’ on it. I also think people have lost faith in the immigration system and the fact that around forty percent of the small boat migrant individuals are from Albania, who are clearly using an illegal route to enter the UK, due, it seems sensible to surmise, to some negative legal facts associated with the identity shown in their real passports.
Well said James!
Thanks for the explanation!

Nice one Gary
If you don't like the way this bill works – please move to Russia where your democracy won't take you far. The people voted the Conservatives in by majority and we want this to happen. The left and presenters like this can't accept that they are in essence losers in their ideology – and when progressive solutions happen (in this case) stopping boats, they start crying. This is democracy and the woke left hate it!
I dont care he is a footballer
why is no one this upset in about andrew tate. crazy.
Andrew tate and his following too
James may make many valid points.. but at what point would he say a migrant isn't legitimate:
Example: a person from a country with no war or conflict, a person that can also raise €5000 for a boat crossing, a person linked to traffickers in the UK. Is there no point where James would say at least one of the 15,000 Albanians shouldn't be living for the last year or two for free in a Hotel.
I'm not sure how he cannot understand how bizarre he sounds by supporting this kind of thing. I believe in fairness but James seems brainwashed to me 🤷
Anything that distracts this remainiac from talking about Brexit is to be welcomed 😬
Why should he apologise? Apologise for expressing an opinion? I hope we are not going the way of North Korea
Respect to Gary lineker
My word, both you and Lineker are up your own backsides.
Gary said what is true and he could have said a lot more of what is pretty obvious regarding this immigrant woman in power against immigrants, and that is also comparable to hitlers approach as he was also an immigrant in germany! How bizarre!
What in the George Orwell is happening in this country. Sports commentators being silenced, teachers, nurses, postman, train drivers being villainised. Human rights policies being amended, right to protests and strikes being condemned. This country is in tatters. We came so far, and now we are going backwards 😢
Spot on! Lineker is a pain in the neck for the Tories. I am loving it🎵🎶
drivel
Well said James. The truth can always rely on you to support it!
We stand with Gary Lineker 👏 💪
Lie after lie ha more like truth upon truth
James lose some weight pal
Wow, well said Sir, Thank you
Opinions by the Left = Freedom of Speech
Opinions by the Right = Hate speech
I totally agree with Gary, 💯 the conservative and the bbc are corrupt, get rid of the tories asap
Uk got the wrong culture, in politics.
One obvious name that comes to mind that can do what Lineker did on a massive public platform, has an equally large fanbase and not care of the backlash is Russell Brand.
I must see this completely different to you James, it was never about what he said, his platform is built on public money, and he as a representative of the publicly funded BBC should remain impartial, something he refuses to do, John Barnes is an excellent example of an ex footballer who takes a stance for the refugee’s, and more power to him, but don’t do it on the back of and representing the BBC,
Excellent!
