Irony laid to rest as Nigel Farage accuses Gary Lineker of spreading hate

The former UKIPer called on the Match of the Day presenter to apologise for his remarks, sending the irony meter into overdrive.

Nigel Farage has hit out at Gary Lineker for (and we quote) “spreading hate” after the Match of the Day presenter compared the language used to launch a new Government asylum seeker policy to that of 1930s Germany.

Last night, the Illegal Immigration Bill was voted through on the second reading after MPs voted in favour of it by 312 votes to 250.

The home secretary, Suella Braverman, linked asylum seekers to criminality during the debate, while another MP repeated the false claim that 100 million people could make the way to British shores, saying: “We simply can’t accept 100s of millions of people. This country is nearly full.”

Suella Braverman says "Drug supply… is now connected to people who came here on small boats illegally."

Responding to the mass walk-out of BBC presenters at the weekend, Farage accused Lineker of “spreading hate” in comments that have sent the irony meter spiraling.

Needless to say, the reaction has been pretty fierce:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
