For posting a video rife with the sort of offensive imagery we saw in Germany in the 1930’s. He claimed he didn’t realise that a picture of a rat next to Jewish people might have negative connotations.
If he really is that thick then he certainly doesn’t have the knowledge or intelligence to lecture the public in the first place.
He will now leave the bbc “earlier than expected”. |  |

Back in 2023 Lineker compared what the Tories said about migration policy (at a time when they were actually remarkably permissive about who they let in) as akin to Nazi language from the 30s. Then a week or two back he shares a post with the very same rat image that the Nazis actually used as an antisemitic slur. I suppose both episodes show he is no expert on Nazi antisemitism. When I saw he was helping with the BBC cup final coverage I turned over to ITV. [Post edited 19 May 18:24]

His majesty's Government has given advice defining " antisemitism".
It is extremely wide ranging and would make many people afraid to go anywhere near the subject matter.
It seems designed to make people walk on eggshells in certain communities. Abbreviation of Pakistan is dangerous as is mis quoting "people of Colour " .
The Welsh are the most tolerant people with regard to ethnic slurs from extreme right thugs.

Insinuating Jewish people are comparable to rats definitely comes under the governments (or any decent persons) definition of anti semitism. | |

What about insinuating Welsh people are prone o to unspeakable acts too obscene to be quoted on this charitable forum ? | |

It is a slur and sound like a terrible thing to admit to
However I believe the vast majority of British citizens are anti Semitic according to the definition outline by HM Government.
It does not mean they have negative feelings or hate to Jewish people. It means they fail a couple of very low bar criteria.

Well he certainly hasn't done much research into the recent history of the Jewish people!
His silence after the October the 7th attacks was noticeable for someone who spends time on social media everyday.
I think he's representative of a culture where you are more interested in expressing your opinion than understanding a matter. | |

One criteria is this..
"Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations."
Another
"stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions."
Run that test. [Post edited 20 May 10:42]

I agree.
He's shared something that fits his stance and hasn't noticed the awful symbol.
He's then apologised but of course that's never enough these days.
This is just another example of cancel culture. | | | |

I wonder what the reaction would have been if he had posted in praise of Netanyahu from those who say he should be able to say anything he likes.
Outrage seems to have overtaken debate, it's more important to have a position than an understanding. [Post edited 20 May 11:44]

You have to be careful with middle eastern religions. The idea is to put western liberals on the back foot by hysterical reactions and some time threat of violence.
Feminists in the West are quite lively and active but go no where near the plight of Women under the Taliban or Houthis. [Post edited 20 May 15:36]

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

There is nothing offensive about that statement in my opinion. The people who might find offence need to explain themselves. | |

I'm not sure I'd go that far.
I do think his time at the BBC should have been done with a while ago. It's a shame as he's been a fantastic presenter IMO. | | | |

I took the time to read the article that Johnson wrote, he was actually defending people's right to dress how they please including the burka.
Bad choice of words that allows for the current trend of selective representation for affect. | |
