Let's be clear: Lineker highlighted the general dangers of fascism.

1930s fascism in Germany did not only lead to the Holocaust. It led to locking-up and killing of opponents, trades unionists, Roma, Gay, disabled and mentally unwell as well as Jews. In total, some 20 million people were killed.

Fascism did not just lead to the gas chambers and it was not a tragedy exclusive to one group. All of it can be repeated, easily. Especially with the rhetoric of this government.

When a government puts forward legislation that will expressly breach a treaty that was written to protect people from the things that happened in 1930s Germany, it is entirely reasonable to compare that to 1930s Germany.

When they go on to then try and silence that criticism, again, it is right to remember criticism was silenced in 1930s Germany.

Solidarity with Gary and MOTD talent. We must resist the dark forces that Sunak and his evil government are trying to whip up. #istandwithgary

Continued thread

To the point where one of their presenters dares to question the UK government , when they announce that there will no longer be an asylum process. A basic human right to seek refuge from persecution. Where children will no longer be seen as human beings.

THIS is Rishi Sunak’s government. I have never been so ashamed of my government, my country or what the BBC has become. It’s shocking & a disgrace.
