A cracker, sir.   And it was usually brown shorts too.  I leave that to your imagination.

I just saw an BBC interview on College Green, just outside Westminster, where Steve Bray (the anti Brexit/Tory activist) was playing the Match of the Day theme music to to distraction of the interviewees.

   Watch out Steve, the thought police will be along shortly.

I know that Leicester City played a pre-season friendly at Easter Road some time in the early '80s. I think that may have coincided with Lineker coming through the ranks.

 

Edit: I could be completely wrong with that.

 

A quick check on a site called tokyofox.net records all their matches v Scottish sides and there's no match at Easter Rd in the '80s. There is, however, this wee snippet:

 

Hearts vs Leicester City (2-3), 13th August 1983 – Robert Jones opened the scoring early doors for the visitors but a brace from John Robertson turned things around and the Jam Tarts led at the break. Two late goals from a certain Gary Lineker though turned the match on its head.

 

Imagine that; Lineker coming to Tynie to learn how Robbo did it.

The same guy that played Yackety Sax behind some Tory interviews a couple of months ago and who was squared up to by 30p Lee Anderthal recently.

 

The guy's a bam - but he's our bam.

I know it shouldn't bother me but it's really bugging me as to who it was at Easter Road that summer. I would have placed a substantial bet on it having been Leicester City. I was there in a work capacity but clearly not sufficiently engaged by whatever was going on on the pitch.

I caught something on C4 news about a story in Cannock in Staffs where asylum seekers are being put up in hotels.  Watching the locals get whipped up by baseless social media 'reports' of asylum seekers walking around the street following young girls around the town and increased attacks.  Police calling it bullshit.  They had one record of an asylum seeker damaging a car.  Full stop. 

 

The reporter has collared a group called Patriotic Alternative who are stirring it all up.  The sort of tensions that Cruella has described as 'understandable'. 

 

But Gary Lineker, eh.

A lot of this is also down to how the Home Office decides to distribute immigrants.
Instead of evenly distributing them across the country, they outsourced the housing of them.

So, the companies doing the rehoming opted for buying up the cheapest houses they could, to lower their costs and maximise profits.

And, of course, these cheap houses are in already deprived areas, which is why they're so cheap in the first place.

So you end up with lots of migrants being concentrated in feckin shiteholes, adding to the problems which these areas are already suffering from, through no fault of the migrants themselves.

This then gives rise to the "ghettoes" myth, as if the migrants have any say in where they go or where they stay(!)

 

Current UK migration rates are running at around 2.24 per 1,000 population.
This is the lowest it has been since 1999.

Spread that out evenly across the country in every city, town or village and the "influx" is far less apparent.

 

As usual, the UK government is making things seem worse than they are by either being shite, or being sleekit.

Notice the Patriotic Alternative guy lost his grin and talked over the reporter when he mentioned the great replacement conspiracy theory.

He is/was a boxing promoter. Tried to force Terry Marsh to fight, even after knowing Marsh had epilepsy. Marsh won the subsequent liable case, and was also cleared of shooting Warren.

Whoever did shoot Warren will have had a good reason to do it.

Campbell will of course be freelance and as with Lineker a well respected broadcaster / presenter so has the upper hand.

 

I'd imagine a BBC heavyweight in John Simpson must be too.

I do like to look at news outside our own wee bubble. This article from Le Monde tickled me for the automatic translation 🙂

 

[Francis Albert]

The Telegraph yesterday reported that many of the broadcasters and celebrities who supported Gary during his recent trouble with BBC benefit from selling podcasts and films to Goalhanger a company in which Gary is the majority shareholder. Including Shearer. Wrighty Gabby Logan Stephen Fry. Alastair Campbell and a dozen more. Gary claimed to be almost moved to tears by their support. 

Meanwhile the Mirror today (I have catholic tastes in my reading material) continues the push for canonisation of Gary. "Britain should be proud of Lineker" quoting the refugee who Gary invited into his home and shared it for some unspecified time. He is "So proud of Gary's battle for humanity". Another disinterested supporter.

What is the Torygraph insinuating - because you can bet your life they and their readers didn't give a toss who worked at Goalhanger a month ago ? I also noted they were saying that BBC journos were furious about having "to go out on strike for millionaires" .... according to their one , unnamed "source". Absolutely tragic stuff. The right wing loons have been out in force and are  still desperately slagging GL off , inter alia, as  "peddling crisps" FFS.

It is saying the support of these people  for Gary was maybe something to do with  the fact that his company is a source of revenue for them. Possibly. 

What is the Mirror "insinuating" by devoting two pages and two very large headlines to his former (assuming the past tense means he has moved out) lodger's view of Gary.

But I will declare an interest. I hate Gary. The crisp adverts especially.

The Telegraph is one of the specially selected client journalists accompanying Braverman to Rwanda for a photo op supporting Government migrant policy. It is possible that is motivating the Telegraph's reporting of this issue.

I hadn't seen that and as I said the Telegraph article was about lots of people other than Campbell. But good to see Campbell has lost none of his fierce response to anyone who dares question him on something he would prefer not to be questioned on. And his tactic of attack (even if it does not address the queation) as the best means of defence is as strong as ever.

No. Obviously not everyone in the BBC. And no-one is saying what you claim. The Telegraph is just saying that his supporters may not be wholly disinterested. Are you saying they were?

The idea that Lineker was close to tears because Wrighty and Shearer et all joined his boycott seems toe implausible. Just my opinion.
