I went to the rally yesterday in Trafalgar Square, ever conscious that at 4.30 Spurs were kicking off at Manchester United and would probably be more in need of my support than Israel is.

And how apt. How appropriate. How sychronistic. That Gary Lineker has chosen to unilaterally align my two pet obsessions of the moment; football and Israel. You wouldn’t get that ‘in the old days’.

Because way-back-when, Match of the Day was a football program. Its presenters were footballers, ex-footballers, football writers, football pundits or football obsessives. Or any 3 of those things combined. They didn’t venture into the realms of rationing, power cuts, Harold Wilson’s government, Ted Heath’s sexuality, the war in Vietnam, the war in the Falklands, the war in Serbia. They never tweeted anything. To them ‘X’ was a letter in the alphabet or a kiss.

But today, thanks to Gary Lineker, I can segue directly from defending Israel against the entire world in the frozen wastes of Nelson’s Column, to watching my favourite sport, without dropping the baton.

Because Gary Lineker, not only does he present the most fab football program in the entire world, but now, he gives us his valuable insight into the whole, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, antisemitism too!! He’s just brilliant!! Possibly the most brilliant man to advertise Walker’s Crisps! Because he really is so clever.

Well, he must be, as the BBC’s top earning ‘talent’. Mustn’t he? He’s taught me so much of his valuable wisdom.

He’s taught me that to score proper goals you never need to be outside the penalty area. And that being captain of England is a great thing. Also, that all jews are bastards, all Israelis war-mongering genocidal… Jews!!, and that if we boycott that horrible nation that’ll make everything better. Because we always sanction every country, anywhere, who’s actions are called into question… as long as its Israel. The rest we don’t bother with because, they’re not Israeli, not full of Jews, so we don’t care. We only care about the boat people, we care about hating the government and we really care about appearing to be really right-on, woke, super-cool, hard-left and full of misplaced compassion for everyone that everyone else seems to blindly care about when they have no idea what’s going on.

Gary Lineker is ‘taking the piss’ out of his employers. Pushing the limits. Challenging to sack him, after they’ve warned him, suspended him, threatened him. Yet for some reason he feels invincible. He needs to be shown. That being a habitual tosser is one thing, but to offend ME is completely different.

Time to rid ourselves of the hateful, ignorant, grinning creep, whose outrageous salary WE pay.

Happy Monday
