MIKEY

I note I’ve been blocked by Gary Lineker, so let’s just be crystal clear on one thing: Gary Lineker has profiteered from human misery more than nearly every single one of us on this app He received millions from Qatar for his World Cup coverage Qatar is a country that supports the rapist, antisemitic terror organisation Hamas It is a country where being gay is illegal It is a country where women face discrimination in law It is a country with pitiful workers rights It is a country where freedom of expression is persecuted and where press freedoms are severely restricted But in exchange for money Gary Lineker was happy to ignore this - help to launder these abuses - and park the virtues he likes to signpost to his friends in The Guardian So please be mindful that Gary Lineker is a vanity moralist A rich poseur A hypocrite and a fraud, one might say
