The reaction to Lineker tweeting something is the most snowflake thing I’ve seen since the term was coined.

Grown men.- hard, backbone of Britain, defenders of the flag, our finest (if flabbiest) men - are losing their lager soaked shit over a sentence from an ex footballer.

SOOOOOO gay

Always been weird this project. Started up as levelling up for the north  but for a while I think they’ve had no intention of bringing it up here even back to George Osbornes constituency being impacted.

im no professional northerner by any stretch but this seems right up there with stitch up jobs.

I see RW is back with some classic whataboutery

I think the point was Clarkson said things  on Twitter about Megan that people didn’t agree with. Probably or not the same people defending Linekar for saying things on Twitter that other people didn’t agree with.🤷‍♂️

Clarkson didn't agree with what Clarkson said in the end.

Doesn’t everyone on here use ‘whataboutery’ at some time or other?

I think the lineker story is whether he should be allowed to make political tweets?

The argument about clarkson was whether his tweets were a tad scummy

I don't know whether that's true or not but I'm not sure of the relevance. 

One was a bloke making appalling misogynistic remarks.  The other was a bloke expressing a political opinion.
