I was referencing Warren I’ve not listened to Davison. 

Frank Warren went on a rant about Lineker and immigrants a couple of days ago... I assumed you were referring to that.

County bollox reselected for Uxbridge. With a bit of luck the silly twat will get his arse handed him in the next election

After he is charged with misleading Parliament they will have to find a new candidate

People should listen to the whole thing.

It's a classic, I'm not a racist but....

Even Big Break fans will shake their heads.

He’s a nutter. A bit like this bloke. (Not Monbiot)  They are on all sides.

The entire premise of his rant is incorrect, so it's no wonder you gammons agree with him. Lineker didn't compare the UK Government to Nazis....

Give it tine, folk will be exaggerating it even more, and start dropping Hitler into it

Did I say he was left wing? I said on all sides. He’s one man with an opinion. Just like Davidson. I don’t take any notice of either. 

No, was just clarifying for NiC.

well he did, but in terms of the language they used when talking about migrants, he was quite specific in his comparison

1930s germany was nazi germany, he didn't use the word nazi, but there's nothing else he could've been comparing them too

the problem is, folk have then took what he said and assumed he was essentially comparing the tories to the entire nazi regime

It was a bad use of words, in fact it was a pathetic comparison, Warren had every right to respond as he did..... many folk feel the same.

No, he said some of the language used about Immigrants is reminiscent of the language Nazi's used about Jews. Which it is.

You also said he didn't compare the Tories to Nazis in your final sentence... I'm not sure where we are disagreeing?

Not as bad as when the Home Secretary said we could be “invaded” by “millions” of immigrants. Now that is an intentionally provocative statement for gammons and without any truth involved.

It was Government Policy until 2 days ago. Now it's a "Labour Tax Raid" if they reverse it. Fucking unbelievable. The saddest thing is we have so many utter fucking morons in this country that will fall for it.

All sides of what then, BB? 

You know, the political spectrum. It’s all a bit hazy though.

 

The speech was so right wing that Tory newspaper the Telegraph wrote on Tuesday that its message “echoes that adopted by successive Tory prime ministers, including Boris Johnson and now Rishi Sunak.”

I said he didn't compare them to the entire regime, which given the way Frank Warren went off one, suggested he felt Lineker was saying that from top to bottom, the tories are just as bad the nazis

that's not what lineker said

but he did compare them
