Over his Nazi Tweet

[The Slim Reaper]

Wasn't a Nazi tweet. There's already a thread about his tweet, which you started

[Cherie]

What a sad end to a brilliant career, but he had too many chances and just ignored them

It has a Rat in it

So it's considered Nazi
as they also used Rats in WW2


It is his choice to be like a Nazi, sadly.

Arrogant twat. Everyone I know that have met him (including my husband) dont have a nice word to say about him.
Another Noel Edmonds...all nice and charming when the cameras are rolling but so different when they stop.
He had enough warnings...but he just thought he could do what he liked.

It was definitely unfortunate from Lineker.

I think sometimes he says and does stuff before thinking it over in his head how it's going to come across to other people.

It's refreshing in some ways tbf to him, but the Israel/Palestine debate is a minefield at the moment, both sides (not just the pro-Palestine side like some on here only care to point out, when they say or do something wrong,) should be being careful when saying something against one side or the other.

it's not like he can realistically claim he didn't know what he was posting. There comes a point where ignorance just doesnt work as an excuse to even the most gullible

Oh, he's already done that...


Thought he was clued up on all things Israel Palestine, yet the fool didn't know the connection of rats, jews and Naziis...so he says .

Hopefully whoever they get to replace him will not be overpaid, sick of these people being paid so much more than they are worth, noticed an article this morning saying there were warnings about Huw Edwards as far back as 2012 but he still drew his extravagant salary

He is trying to make that very absurd claim.

Stupid to use a Rat,

Gary Lineker
has done an Instagram video
just played on SkyNewsHD.

He claims he never noticed the Rat.

I don't use Instagram but how would he not have noticed the great big fat Rat?

James O Blob has been defending him saying it was only in 2015 that he learned about the connection.... not being funny but if anyone describes you as a rat in any context its not exactly flattering....

Gary himself said recently, just before he posted this latest offensive post, you have to know your history about this stuff.

There is a violent and devastating war going on right now in Congo. Thousands of people have been slaughtered, the health system has collapsed, disease is rife, rape, sexual violence, cannibalism, dismemberment and the recruitment of children is happening every day. fighters from Rwanda have joined in, people are homeless. A reporter from the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Philip Alson, reported that "Congolese army troops shot and beat to death 50 Rwandan villagers and burned their refugee camp at Shalio. 40 women were abducted. Ten who escaped reported being gang-raped and having pieces of their breasts cut off. The government troops involved were newly integrated rebels under the command of Colonel Zimulinda, who orchestrated the massacre.". Fighters regularly cut the breasts off nursing mothers so that they cannot feed their children. Of course, most of the women die of shock and loss of blood.

Someone please tell Gary. Why is he not interested in this? Why is no one marching in protest at this? Could it be because it doesn't involve Jews? Is war only abhorent when the Israelis are doing it? Because it seems like it's acceptable so long as Jews aren't involved.

More than likely, it's because the horrors are being filmed and posted everywhere. I'm sure every person who reads this post has seen the pictures of people being burned alive or with missing limbs, or carrying their dead children, screaming in visceral agony as they cry to god for a miracle, or children sliced in half with their organs falling out, or children scraping the remains of their mothers into plastic carrier bags.

Maybe it's because this is the first televised genocide we've ever seen, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jews. Zionism is not Judaism.

What kind of narcissistic solipsism, makes you watch these same videos and conclude it's a blood libel? It's the most depraved nonsense I've ever read or seen in my life.

As someone who specialises in international law, have you ever posted about the horrors in congo, or are you using other crimes against humanity as a shield in order to try and dismiss what we are watching in real time? Surely you would be way more up to speed than either Lineker or anyone on the forum; and in fact, most people on social or historical media.

She doesn't make a point of endlessly complaining about one "genocide" while ignoring others.

If the only time you discuss any genocide, is to cover for one you are in favour of, then that is more than a touch disingenuous.

Heaven forbid there should be any "complaining" about it. "Never again" was supposed to mean never again for everyone. Not "Never again. except..."

What a stupid post.

[Beso]

People won't mention any black on black genocide cause it hurts there brains to much with the fear of sounding racist.
..Brown on white though, it's safe to blame the white man.

If you want to pay me for my professional opinion I'd be happy to talk about whatever you like and I'll send you a bill. But I am not here in a professional capacity and these are my personal opinions. That's how a forum like this works.
