Not Even Gary Lineker is Safe from the Racists

Follow @RPJblog
Not even 80 Caps for England is enough to win the respect of the Little Englander villagers. Gary Lineker asks what has happened to England and the English internet gets broken. Imagine what they’d do if he was black.

I’ve never been a massive fan of Walkers crisps, but Gary Lineker has always been a decent sort. We could even go as far as saying that he was the Phillip Schofield of English football. Every mother loved him. Now he is as hated as Diego Maradona, and all because he looked at the right-wing British media’s disgusting headers on Syrian refugees and dared to ask what the hell has happened to his country.

The Sun has led the tabloid press in calling for his sacking from Match of the Day – that bastion of English nationalism – and set upon him the hordes of nasty, small-minded, and illiterate Twitter trolls. So we have decided to take a look at what has been going on over his account, and it has left us asking – What the feck is wrong with England?

Getting a bit of a spanking today, but things could be worse: Imagine, just for a second, being a refugee having to flee from your home.

England’s response:

Goodness only knows where this Theresa May gets the impression that we are all one United Kingdom. Not sure what Gary makes of the SPL, but we should offer him a job on the telly once we have independence.
