Of course you’d be the one to defend the government over this. It’s all confected, anyway. Does anyone think the government really gives a flying monkey’s about what he said? Of course not. They love it. It’s a very convenient distraction from its very slow but very visible collapse.

I’m sorry but what is this supposed to mean? 

Where did I defend the government? What they are doing is horrendous. That doesn’t excuse what Lineker said though.

That’s how it came across, Phil. The way you were pearl clutching about what he said seemed like you had more of a problem with that than what the government are doing. If that isn’t the case - which seems so - then I apologise.
