Good Heavens, this is beyond awful

 Few Lines in Support Of Gary Lineker and Opposing Tory Madness

"Good Heavens, this is beyond awful"

That is all Gary Lineker wrote on Twitter (I'm banned permanently by Twitter India, so this news came to me late) quoting UK's Home Office tweet on "stopping small boats" law.

In 2023, the definition of law has become the following, worldwide:

A law is an agreement by ruling dispensation, imposed on the people residing in the jurisdiction of the said dispensation's rule. Morality or Humanity has no role in it.

I had been critical of "Wet-feet / Dry-feet classification" of asylum seeking migrants. And this tory law is second in the series of its Xenophobic agenda.. First being, setting up of concentration camps for refuge seekers in Rwanda.

What is most awful is that both Tory Prime Minister Sunak and Home Secretary ,  Suella are themselves Children Of migrants . 

"My daddy was a good Migrant, these lot are not related to me", this is the rationale of Sunak, Suella and most Indian-origin right-wing politicians who do politics in Western countries; Yes, you can include Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley from across the big pond in that list.

This is not the first time Gary Lineker said something political on Twitter . He Supported Ukraine ,  condemned Russia .. That was political and impartial too, but that was in accordance to BBC's editorial line. He has been outspoken campaigner against Racism , Sexism and Bigotry .. In very short one-liners. So pulling Gary from BBC's football commentary is another act of cowardice from Sunak, Braverman & Company . 

 Amazingly Surprising Response from Indian right-wing Media 

Indian right-wing media, Anrab Republic, Times Now, Cnnnews18,  etc , who supported all anti-refugee acts anywhere in the world and support Sunak and Suella to the hilt are criticising BBC and supporting Free Speech of Lineker. Free speech is something , they themselves don't like when Indians exercise it online or in public . 

The real reason is something else, the "Modi toadie" (phrase coined By Salman Rushdie) channels are smarting against BBC; ever since BBC 2 showed them the mirror by airing the 2 part Documentary "The Modi Question" showing clear culpability of Modi regime during Gujarat riots.

Indian Godi Media clearly won't like what Gary Lineker thinks of Rohingya refugees and Indian government attitude towards Rohingya refugees.

In Conclusion 

Let's conclude, by giving absolute support to Gary Lineker and high praise to him by calling out racist attitude of UK government. It's great to see that more and more people getting aware of this "Immoral law" by BBC's stupidity. People who don't follow "everyday politics" in UK, do watch "Match of the day" of English Premier League. Inadvertently BBC, just sensitized 50 times more people about "Illegal Small Boat Law" by Pulling Lineker off.
