Is Gary Lineker a national treasure?

[carcinogen]

Not sure why all the vitriol regarding dictatorships. If the trains run on time and the hositpals work, I'm all for them. At least shit gets DONE in dictatorships. Most of the mongs I come into contact with don't deserve choices in life. They would be better off being put on rails and leading a one-track life. It would suit them. It's doing them a favour. With choices come decisions and decisive people have become a rarity. We have become a nation of hand-wringers and ditherers. We need a strongman (or woman) to pull this country up by its bootstraps. And if that means living in a dictorship for a while, I'm in.

What a crock of shite. Don't really expect anything different from you though. You're impressed because a country that you don't know or have lived in or know anybody there has trains that run on time, have "hositpals" that work and have roads built?

Do you know how many peasants have probably had houses knocked down, have been displaced and have lost what meagre earnings or livelihood lost just you can sit in front of your computer being impressed about something you know so little about thousands of miles away?

Just because you know sod all about what you talk about, doesn't mean you're right. You are impressed by dictatorships because the roads are built? Sorry to break this to you as you sit in your dirty underpants in a usual Saturday, incoherent, alcohol fueled mist but real people are actually affected in a dictatorship. If you aren't privileged enough to be to be in the payroll or coterie of the ruling class, you're probably going to be living in a slum where you are watched by the security services and police. You have no right of reply, can't express your views on a place like this, you could be carted off in the dead of night at gunpoint by men in balaclavas to a cell where you will be held, tortured and interrogated without a solicitor. You're an alcoholic aren't you? How do you think you'd fare in a dictatorship? Probably be rounded up off the street, put in the back of a van and given a bit of a kicking as they along with the homeless, drug addicts, the unemployed are exposed to violent treatment in the dictatorships you speak so glowingly about.

As someone who thinks he is an educated poet, you can be spectacularly naive. And you talk about mongs in a typically derogatory way. Why do we need a strongman? If you don't like it in a democracy where the pondlife you despise have some defence then sod off to the Philippines, sub Saharan Africa or Russia and report back about how you fared with your risky "look at me, look at me" bullshit. The ones who talk brazenly about wanting a dictatorship here are those who would shit their pants first when they are actually exposed to one.

As a further to your cutting edged political analysis, the contradiction in terms is breathless. You say you want a dictatorship, yet with you giving your validation for one, you do realise, this wouldn't be possible as a general pleb don't you? The reason is that unless you're the head of the militia or army that would seize control, this would never happen as you would be deprived of the voting rights you would otherwise have vis-a-vis the "hositpals" you envisage working. The plebs in Central American nations that you think are the the model of great public services have "hositpals" that offer very basic services to the poor and jobless and those people would probably be left to die on the streets on in a makeshift ward where there are not the medical resources, equipment or medication to treat them. It may be a surprise to you but that socialist Hugo Chavez who was a mate of Corbyn who you obviously love so much actually had a health service that worked to an extent but fucked up his spending of Venezuela's oil wealth and was left with a corrupt, bankrupt country with so much poverty.

Your comment about us being a nation of hand-wringers and ditherers? Who is? Do you want the ordinary cunt to pick up tools and start knocking down old buildings, build huge superhighways and huge skyscrapers? Are you talking about politicians or businesses? How precisely would a strongman help this? He or her would probably be more interested in kleptocracy, backhanders, nepotism, random extrajudicial murder, building massive palaces and controlling the media. And you'd probably be whingeing as you lie on the concrete floor without drink or food for the previous eighteen hours about the great roads, trains running on time and the "hositpals" that had been built as your organs fail and you have no legal representation.

Not being funny carc, but your ill-conceived Saturday morning, drunken rant in this instance seems to be very superficial and for such a serious topic has been dealt with in a typically blase and attention seeking fashion.

I don’t think he’s a national treasure. Not sure why people are getting so upset about him expressing a view on Brexit. Do the right really want to end up in a situation where they’re making excuses for a violent, recidivist criminal like Tommy Robinson, while at the same time trying to silence Gary Lineker.

What is this "national treasure" that we talk so glowingly about? It's one of those horrendous, twee, benign adjectives donned by the BBC and Sky to describe cunts like Princess Di, Terry Wogan, Sir Elton and Cliff Richard but actually means fuck all in the scheme of things. It's just a term use to describe middle of the road, establishment figures that we're all supposed to doff our caps to and I hate it.

No problem with Lineker expressing an opinion, but I think what irritates some, is that he appears to have appointed himself the voice of liberal Britain, and consequently talks a load of bollocks.

Poor Carc certainly got it with both barrels from Lawnsy today.

"Poor Carc certainly got it with both barrels from Lawnsy today."

Sure did. Best keep your head down.

He recently had a go at politicians for supporting the England team morning that they were jumping on the bandwagon and should nor be commenting on football.

He's a typical virtue signalling cunt moralising to the rest of us while ignoring his own advice. He should stick to wanking himself off in seedy sex dungeons.

[Zambo]

Who Lawns or Lineker?

[m4rkb]

Both
Lineker for his virtue signalling , and Lawns for wanking in dungeons.

I'm surprised you had to ask.

Would MOTD lose any viewers if he quit ?

Not a national treasure, just a bloke talking sense before we go into the abyss.

[EddieCheddar]

He’s entitled to an opinion. I get the impression the broadcast of his opinion is ego driven. He’s an attention seeker, and guess what, Bingo.
