Bbc 'celebrity' Mocks British Fishermen

[Khandro]

Your licence fee goes towards paying him 1.75 million pounds per year. Do you think he is good value for money?

Cannot stand the man !

[Denton]

Can’t stand him,slimeball of the highest order.How many refugees did he take in after telling everyone to do so.!!

Never have done. No presenter is worth more than the P.M.. Never liked him, played the 'good guy' all the time and yet was caught out in all sorts of ways, can't remember the details. On the fishing issue, I've just dispatched an email to my(Leave supporting) M.P.. Maybe he's part of this group, or will join.

I can't work out whether he is mocking British fishermen. Sound slike an attenmted joke to me about the two characters in the picture- but I can't recognise them. Thought for a second it was Alec Salmon and Nigel Farage but someone says it's an Aaron Brown

I can't work out whether he is mocking British fishermen. Sounds like an attempted joke to me about the two characters in the picture- but I can't recognise them. Thought for a second it was Alex Salmond and Nigel Farage but someone says it's an Aaron Brown.

Try not to confuse people with facts, F-F - it won't end well.

Of course Lineker isn't worth £1.75m - no-one is - but he is entitled to his opinion of Farage and his cohorts in their pathetic (and wasteful) stunt.

His comment about Farrago and his (non) attendance at the relevant EU meetings was quite pertinent.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. So it is Farage not Salmond. So I don't see a problem with calling him slimy- comedians make this sort of joke all the time. Not sure about the other chap.

Does anyone have a Link from a believable source?

Lineker's 'verified' Twitter account - you need to scroll down a bit :

Gary was clearly using a play on words regarding the slimey farage and co and didn’t specifically mention “British Fishermen” at all and the media have obviously added 2 and 2 and came up with 9

“Rarely have 2 such slimey, smelly, slippery creatures held on to some fish.”

No mention of British fishermen at all.

[Gromit]

Guido Fawkes us a kn.bhead. This pathetic piece just confirms that.

Lineker is not knocking British fishermen, he is mocking the politicians.
Don’t get me wrong, Lineker is also a twonk, but not guilty of this charge.

[Garaman]

Silly stunt.

[fiction-factory]

So I think we are all agreed that he isn't mocking British fishermen, so the story is a non story in this respect. The title of the thread is misleading too. He is good at MOTD but I'm not sure how we decide whether he is or isn't worth the money. I prefer him to Clare Balding but if someone can cut all these salaries and maybe shave a few pounds off the licence fee I wouldn't mind. Trouble is people like BT would be happy to pay him more

[Jahulaye]

I like him on the walkers adverts, he just has a hilarious comedic face and wish him all the best for his future.

[Gromit]

Fiction-factory,

Lineker also works for BT and is getting £1.2million for that, on top of his MOTD fee.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks, but I think I knew that Gromit. If BBC cut his pay he may well decide to work more for BT or Sky might take him. I could also see him doing ITV Saturday game shows as a host. I think he'll be able to command a good salary somewhere- or may just decide to spend his time enjoying his leisure time- if BBC were to decide to pay him less.

The reason I think Lineker is a *** is that he never has the balls to debate the subject matter of his tweets with those that disagree with him.

Lineker is a smarmy jug eared git. Just a thinner and hairier version of Lilly Allen. He has always managed to elevate himself on the back of someone else's hard work particularly when he "played" football.

// The reason I think Lineker is a *** is that he never has the balls to debate the subject matter of his tweets with those that disagree with him. //

His field of expertise is football not politics. I expect if he did debate, that would make him more loathed, not less.
