Gary linekar fish and chips

GT89

Anyone see the cringeworthy video of this complete and utter tosspot talking about fish and chips and how if it weren't for refugees coming to England that there wouldn't be fish and chips as if that was justifiable a reason to accept illegal
economic migrants coming to your country to sponge off the system.

Btw I am not one bit racist I am just against illegal immigration. Here's the video it has to be the most cringeworthy thing I have ever seen in my life. Honestly who advised him to do a video like this was a good idea.

jaysus thats just baiting at this point.
still fits the narrative, nobody can ever say anything good about illegal immigration except food, as if every single one of them is a trained chef..

He's a BBC puppet, they are a horrible organisation, bull****ting on about back lives matter, showing all sorts of minority sports that no one is interested in, and glossing over the fact that Jimmy Saville a horrible paedo scumbag was their poster boy for 20 years, ****

I quite like Gary on MOTD, pity he's an arse really.

You cod at least go to the turbot of spelling his name correctly.

The funny thing is is that Fish and Chips are really unhealthily and Gary Lineker is a sports star.

Does he not see the irony of his position.

It's like saying we wouldn't have sugar, a major cause of obesity, if it wasn't for refugees. Laughable.

It's a bit of a cheesy advert, but something he believes in, It's his money, his choice. Kinda nice someone doing something they believe in, even if you don't share the same views. It's kinda honest for a change.

How is an "economic migrant" (whether legal or illegal) here to sponge off the system? If they're an economic migrant they are here to work.
They can't claim welfare unless they've got a PPS number and have put in a certain amount into the system already, and their visa will not be renewed if theyre jobless.
EU economic migrants don't count since they have a right to live here if they so choose.

It's not just a cheesy ad it's complete cringe and part of an agenda. They are laughing at ordinary taxpayers for accepting their bs whilst Britain is being flooded with illegal immigrants crossing the channel.

It's part of what agenda exactly?

Flooded? A couple of thousand refugees, hardly flooding the country. Not even your country. No one is laughing, is that what is at the root of your annoyance? Genuine question.

Gary obviously wants a refugee in his house that can cook and serve him fish and chips.

Send a few around pronto. I’m sure ****ty pants will welcome them all in.

There are 54 African nations and 50 predominantly Muslim countries globally. Absolutely absurd for any to flee to these tiny islands and claim to be “fleeing for their life.”

Ask some Africans. The majority resident in Ireland don’t work and huge swathes of them came via the asylum scam. Only about 40% of them resident in Ireland work.

It sounds scary! But wait, it's only about 10 percentage points of a difference with Irish- 44 and 55. What's your point? Fear mongering, or something else?

But that's asylum seekers. Surely the answer to that is to streamline the asylum system, rather than give out about genuine economic migrants, who help irelands (and the UKs) economy immensely?

If those "africans" you're referring to are jobless after coming to Ireland legally, how are they on a visa?

Or are they perhaps no longer Africans, but Irish citizens? In which case we have to ask ourselves, why are black Irish citizens less likely to have a job than "indigenous" irish, if that is really the case, and then formulate a government strategy to fix that - whatever that may be

They are benefitting themselves economically speaking by claiming benefits. All they have to do is say the magic word asylum and they are in no questions asked free accommodation, healthcare, education etc.

They are not from the EU either they are from Africa and the middle east.

Is it his money? When he's the highest paid presenter on the BBC and this is a contentious issue in itself.

And all this at a time when the BBC are being chastised for forcing old age pensions to pay the license fee, when he's on 1.7 million per year for simply hosting football shows. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/07/01/licence-fee-payers-support-big-salaries-stars-like-gary-lineker/#:~:text=Lineker%20will%20head%20the%20list,Graham%20Norton%20or%20Zoe%20Ball.

If find his position in it entirety utterly gross. As I said before.

We could all take in a refugee if we were that filthy rich for doing eff all. Not to mention the BBC's constant virtue signalling with it's 'diversity' remit, which is
a hot topic in the UK atm, which could end up with them being screwed if they don't change their ways.

To be fair, if Linekar wants to take in a refuge privately he is well within his rights to do so. But the fact is he's promoting himself for doing so when he could do it on the quiet.

But is seems to me he's doing it to set an example. In other words virtue signalling and preaching. Not a surprise from someone who works for the BBC.

Of course it's his money. If you don't like the way market forces work that's fair enough. But I don't think you can pick and choose what industries you want to be subject to the free market and which aren't. Of course one could argue footballers are paid too much or media personalities get too much, but that's a different subject.

Secondly, why do you think pensioners are being forced to pay anything? A lot of the current pensioners aren't actually that poor, not as bad as the next generation to come. The poorest pensioners still won't pay. And that's before you begin to look into why that's even a topic in the media. Why do YOU think the topic of pensioners paying for the BBC is a hit topic. Have you any opinion on that, or are you happy to trot out the sane old tired arguments? Think about it for a second. Why would the people who want to abolish the BBC force the BBC to revert the decision to give a discount to the demographic that views the most?

The other option (which I'd be more in favour of) would be to see if we have any ****ty unfilled jobs for these young, able bodied people who are willing to cross the ocean to get here, and have them picking strawberries or something until they can pay for an education and join the bigger economy, all while contributing. Yes it'll be hard for them for a few years, but its better than paying for a deportation and turning away someone whose willing to cross the ocean to get into a ****ty job here, or paying for their food and board while we sit and think about their asylum application. Now obviously we'd still need a quick check to ensure we didn't find any obvious terrorist or extremist links for them, but I don't think the majority of the people you're complaining about (africans) are coming here as terrorists.

Of course, deport those who don't want to work or have extremist links.

I thought the British were historical colonists. I would have though they were well able to bring cuisine back to their own country rather than having it brought to them. What Lineker is saying is completely daft and he knows it.
Just looking at that twitter clip he's quite clearly taking the P*ss.

The Irish equivalent of this is that mashed potatoes or 'spuds' were 'brought' here by foreigners. That could even be true but to suggest this is a reason for ever further multiculturalism, or to take in every person who is having a hard time in their own country, is beyond hysterically laughable.

He's having a cheeky pop at British culture and how it's made from many nationalities while supporting something he believes in.

Just don’t let anymore come in without valid work permits and job offers.

Problem solved. The majority of Africans here who do not work should not be given a cent in state aid. We need to get real when it comes to immigration. Not swallow bs about food and how we should throw open our borders to even more.

It is not just terrorism (which is a very real threat) but they are often not culturally compatible to living and working in a Western country. Look at the African, Asian and Halal shops as an example most are filthy kips they have absolutely no respect for the upkeep of their business. Go through the FSAI closure orders on a monthly basis and 90% of the places closed for being filthy are takeaways and shops selling food typically associated with countries outside the EU.

Look at Parnell Street in Dublin for example full of sh1thole African and Asian owned shops with zero respect for hygiene, upkeep and basic food safety standards.

The BBC license fee has noting whatsoever to do with 'market forces'.
It's a mandatory fee punishable by a prison sentence non paid, as it is here in Ireland.

My objection to Lineker on this issue is precisely because he's not working for an independent station like SKY.

So in other words, what's going on here is wrapped up in politics. I don't think it's right and proper for a state broadcaster or it's employee's to engage in this kind of backseat politics.

You may recall not too long ago, Emily Maitlis, Newsnight presenter, was roundly condemned for giving her 'opinion'. I don't really give a s*hyte what her opinion is, or Gary Lineker's opinion on the issue of refugees or anything. And I won't tolerate ppl who think they are 'big' preaching to me simply because they have a podium to do so which was given to them by the people they are preaching to.

Secondly, why do you think pensioners are being forced to pay anything? A lot of the current pensioners aren't actually that poor, not as bad as the next generation to come.

Well of course I have an opinion on it, if I didn't you would't be asking me about it.

What tired arguments? I don't recall discussing this issue with you before. Noone is taking about abolishing the BBC, just the way it is run.

I think you're not clued up on the BBC license fee issue in respect of pensioners or in general and I'm not going to go get bogged down in explaining it to you.
