BBC presenter Lineker fired after criticizing UK government’s immigration policy
According to the BBC statement, Lineker’s “Match of the Day” programme, which criticized the government’s bill to stop irregular migration this week, ended up comparing it to Germany in the 1930s.
In the statement, it was stated that Lineker’s use of social networks violated the rules of the institution, and it was stated that Lineker would not be able to present the Match of the Day until an agreement was reached on the use of social networks. .
Ian Wright, one of the show’s commentators, announced that he will not be on the show tomorrow in solidarity with Lineker following the decision.
Lineker, who is also a former soccer player, said of Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s bill to prevent irregular migrants from entering the country: “This is no different language than Germany used in the 1930s and it is an immeasurably cruel policy towards the most vulnerable people. Am I crossing borders? he had used the phrase.
Lineker also stated that the UK accepts fewer refugees than major European countries, adding: “I will continue to speak for those who don’t speak.” He also shared.
Braverman also criticized Lineker for her remarks, but said the decision to sack Lieneker rests with the BBC.
Lineker also affirmed that he does not regret his statements after the reactions of the deputies of the Conservative Party and that he is behind his opinion.
Draft ILLEGAL MIGRATION DISCUSSION
The UK government, which has prepared a bill to prevent irregular migrants from entering the UK through the English Channel, plans to detain irregular migrants as soon as they are caught.
According to the bill, detained irregular immigrants will be deported to their countries of origin or to safe third countries within 28 days without judicial investigation.
Irregular immigrants who have been deported will seek legal rights and seek asylum after being deported.
Any person who enters the country illegally will not have the right to request asylum. (AA)
