Gary Lineker has sparked fury after comparing the government’s new policy to Nazi tactics. Retweeting a video from the Home Office featuring Suella Braverman, Lineker wrote: “There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?”
Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, announced a new Illegal Migration Bill.
She said: “The Prime Minister and I have been working flat out for months to bring this legislation to Parliament. This Bill will mean that if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.
“You will be detained and removed to your home country if safe or a safe third country like Rwanda. We are committed to helping those in need, like the hundreds of thousands of people we have supported from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Hong Kong in recent years.
“But it’s not fair that people who travel through a string of safe countries and then come to the UK illegally can jump the queue and game our system. This Bill will bring an end to that. Enough is enough. We must stop the boats.”
One Twitter user hit out at Lineker saying he should use his “$35million on housing for the refugees or shut up”.
Another said: “How many of these migrants have been housed in your local area Gary? It’s all very well virtue signalling from your wealthy bubble but try and understand how others are being adversely affected by the influx of 100s of mainly young men being brought into their small communities.”
