Gary Lineker: Using the BBC for political agendas

 

For a long time, there has been criticism regarding BBC Superstars and the fact that they are overlypaid when the coorportation has been downsizing and cutting down services.

Not a year goes by without hearing announcements regarding services being cut off to save money and it is not any money. It is about money gathered because people most of whom do not watch the BBC are forced to pay under duress.

Despite the fact the he made a name because of football, Gary Lineker has very well known political views and political allegiances. If we want a BBC that is seen as impartial, Gary Lineker is not the best exponent of such impartiality and perhaps, and without perhaps, this led the BBC to make the decision not to allow the presenter to host a very public football programme. His twitter comments led to confrontation and even division between peoples that hold similar political views. Exponents of the Jewish Communities in the UK have shown that they are not happy - in some cases that they are deeply unhappy - to hear or see that the experiences of 70 or so years ago are being used for party political purposes in the United Kingdom. Is this a watershed moment? Are people tired enough of seeing words like Nazi, Fascist, Racist, Homophobe, Transphobe used to prevent any qualified debate about many of today's issues and ills?

Gary Lineker is not a Member of Parliament. Perhaps he should consider leaving the BBC, stopping being a sports presenter, and engage in politics full on. Then he could talk about politics using his own steam instead of using his presence as presenter of a public broadcaster to promote his views. It is become apparent that many communities in the United Kingdom are not happy when they are flooded with illegal immigrant centres and their local economies that were already in trouble before their hospitality industry was used for purposes that have nothing to do with the reasons why the hospitality industry was created. Calling disgruntled and desperate local communities Far Right or Racist is in itself a form of abuse. Local inhabitants become hostages of circumstances beyond their control. They become victims of decisions made by political groups that are not to have to cope with the repercusions of their decisions. 

What is happening in many local communities across the United Kingdom shows, once again, the disconnect between the well-off and the poorer segments of society. The said centres are not set up in well-off areas. The said centres are set up in the poorest areas of Britain. Rich Liberals and Champagne Socialists are condemning the poorest in Britain to live in conditions that Rich Liberals and Champagne Socialist would not want to live in.

Great Sportive Event in spite of the usual culprits: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

 

Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022

An amazing sportive event that culminated with a final match between France and Argentina that had everything and more football fans could ever wish for. 

Of course, the sport won in spite of agendas that have nothing to do with football. Message for those who 'boycotted' the event? Your presence was not missed. In fact. your absence was not even noticed.

Football is about footbal and has nothing to do with the agendas that some miserable individuals used to try and destroy the event that was watched worldwide by hundreds of millions of football fans that could not care less about wokeness. The minute minorities that are really and trully behind certain agendas live in their worlds that have little to do with the real world. They might write headlines in countries like the United Kingdom, but that is as far they can go.

The match between France and Argentina kept people on the edge from beginning to end. Both teams played to the best of their abilities and Argentina won a well deserved title. No one could have expected to witness such wonderfull display of skills and devotion to the sport.

Sleep-walking towards war. Even football is being used in a brainwashing campaign.

We are sleep walking towards Nuclear War and very few people take any notice of it while US warmongering rhetoric is echoed by mass media, rhetoric that has now infiltrated sports like football that from now on are going to be a geopolitical battlefield.

When I read comments written on newspapers, listen to commentaries on radio and see what is being twitted and written in Internet Fora, I see the insidious brainwashing that make people not just accept war but very much want war.

I meet people on the streets and as soon as the subject of football or Europe comes up I see their enthusiasm for war and the blame game goes on and on and on preparing the masses for what it is going to happen. Like small children, they believe that they can go and attack somebody and that they will not suffer the consequences of their actions.

When high politics invades football, suspect hidden agenda

FIFA President Sepp Blatter
When the big powers target FIFA you must suspect a hidden agenda. The now legendary President of FIFA Sepp Blatter was re-elected with massive support.

When the FBI and the State Department get involved in issues that lie far away from US shores in such an insidious manner you must suspect foul pay, especially when the American system passionately protects corruption within the United States of America to the point that those who blow the whistle either end up in jail or having to flee for their lives.


A wise American man called Donald Trump described the American system to perfection. He said something along the lines of 'if you owe little money, you are in trouble. If you owe a lot of money, the banks are in trouble and will do their best to help you.'

This is what happened in quite a few cases of the biggest money scandals in the United States of America where those involved in crime were helped by the US government that protected them using taxpayers money. As the saying goes: I smell a rat. This is not about corruption. This is geopolitics played in football.

The problem for the United States of America is that that it has alienated people across the World and that despite its power financed with debts that it cannot pay the World has moved on while the US is still living in the geopolitics mentality of the Twenty-First Century.

Do you remember the Olympic Games? Well, how many times the US has attempted to use the Olympic Games for its geopolitical aims? Football is no different despite the fact that the US is a non entity when it comes to Football that most Americans know as Soccer because their minds are focused on their traditional Football that has nothing to do with FIFA.

Even Prime Minister David Cameron jumped on the US bandwagon asking for Sett Blatter - none other than David Cameron that when asked could not even remember the name of his favourite football team.

Many individuals with vested interests are bothered by the choice of Qatar as World Cup Host because it forces them to rethink their timetables and lose money in the process. And what about Russia? We know that US will do its utmost to damage Russian interests and Russia is due to hold a World Cup tournament. Coincidences? No, coincidences at all. The whole affair is so obvious that it beggars belief.
