Re: Gary Lineker
Politicians, just another form of liar, fool, cretin on many occasions, and teller of distirbing stories.
Here in Victoria some years back the Liberal gov coming into office sold off the electric supply owned by the state.
Had to so they could pay off the massive debt left by Labor.
Now the Labor state gov says t will rebuild that state owned electric system.
Saying it will create some 59,000 jobs, what are they on??
We currently have a severe shortage of skilled engineers so are they going to build some of them as well.
But there are some in society who will think it is possible, they are also sniffers of some substance.

Re: Gary Lineker
Both the state premier, on his own, and now the PM is going to China.
At the last feral erection China said quite openly they would prefer a Labor gov rather than Liberal ln power.
Liberals did not go along with much of what China wanted, Labor are all over them like a rash.
Both premier and PM are from the extreme left and closer to communist than many realise.

never referred to - and rubbished the report that Dr. David Kelly produced, which gave his findings to the contrary and the reasons for his findings.
Blair was the superb and elegant liar in this unsettling episode and his delivery to the House had them eating out of his hand.
Check out the exchanges from back then to get an idea of how devious he was and how determined he was to impress and buddy up to
his puppet master, Bush.
What you see in the commons doesn't necessarily relate to what intelligence exists or how it is shared between government and opposition.
It has long been convention that in such matters the leaders of the main opposition parties are shown (behind closed doors) the intelligence relating to any planned military action, as some of it could of course be too sensitive for the public domain. In recent years - as an example - Cameron shared secret information with Ed Milliband when the former was proposing military action against Syria. That did however stop when Bojo's circus rolled into town.
We should not forget that there were more than a few elements in the UK who saw Iraq as unfinished business after the first war ended in '91, and of course that's when Saddam should have been toppled; it would have saved much misery years later.

BORIS Johnson has parachuted a multi-millionaire Tory donor into a top job at the BBC . Former banker, Richard Sharp, is to be the next chairman of the corporation. The 64-year-old - who used to be Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s boss at Goldman Sachs - will replace Sir David Clementi in the £160,000-a-year role.
Tell me strings were not pulled by the government to have Gary Lineker sacked or removed for his tweets.
Alan Sugar was not removed from his BBC show the apprentice when he tweeted that he would leave the UK if Jeremy Corbyn was elected.
BBC doubled standards at play
i think we should all leave if Corbyn was elected
