Lineker & Meghan: Daily Mail's front page is pulled apart

The Daily Mail have doubled down on Gary Lineker again today.

The Match Of The Day presenter faced criticism after comparing announcement of Illegal Migration Bill with 1930s Germany.

This was the original tweet in case you missed it.

He doesn’t seem to care about the pressure though as you can see.

Class from @GaryLineker 👏

Here are just a few of the recent articles about him…

CANCEL CULTURE: The Daily Mail has engaged a full-on campaign to get Gary Lineker sacked.

Does anyone want to tell the Tories that getting your media to silence your critics is exactly the kind of thing a certain regime would have done? pic.twitter.com/kVLcFWrNxB

This was yesterday’s front page, and 30p Lee Anderson clearly hates him.

To use the Nazi word in this context is disgusting and vile. The BBC should disassociate themselves from these types of comments and ask themselves the question 'is this the type of comment they expect from their publicly funded presenters?'

Awful. pic.twitter.com/pSi6XO7lL5

Today’s page

This is today’s front page, as you can see they are not giving up on Gary Lineker…

But as the tweet points out ‘The Daily Mail so angry at Gary Lineker that they have only devoted a small part of their front page to attacking Harry & Meghan. Well done Gary?”

Also someone added: “And Kate made the front of page for wearing a jacket.”

Nazi slur

Also comedian Sooz Kempner noticed something on the front page.

She tweeted: “If this was a parody of a Daily Mail front page I’d dismiss it as too on the nose but as it’s real I just wanna say that until now a “Nazi slur” meant something VERY different.”

If there’s one group everyone should agree that you can be mean, slur and generally shit on it’s Nazis.
