Appreciate he's someone I would find easy to be annoyed by, but he doesn't half have a knack for retweeting people that say anti-semitic things. But rarely gets called out for promoting anti-semitism.
And yet Burnham gave him one of his (few) interviews to date. When will his lack of judgment be called out by someone? [Post edited 24 Aug 21:22]

Got an example tweet? |
He reposted a video of Tony Greenstein after his acquittal, a man who even the Green Party expelled for his anti-semitic comments.
Then there was the rat last May.
And the comparison of the Conservative government rhetoric being similar to 1930's Germany. | | | |

How about an example tweet though? Why are you randomly going after a bloke who generally speaks sense and decency? There are better targets if you want to rail against prejudice and discrimination but your first choice of target is Lineker, a velvet owl? [Post edited 24 Aug 21:06]

Had to look that one up:
A velvet owl is a poetic metaphor for silent grace, profound wisdom cloaked in quietness, and the gentle arrival of insight or stealthy peace in a noisy world.
My first choice? It's the inconsistency of the treatment I am arguing against. Are you deliberately misremembering the two examples I gave? | | | |

So by mentioning the name of a former footballer you hope to get away with a political comment that should be over in General? |  |

I've yet to see them. Its not a story many people would even be aware of.
I see it relates to aquittal on accusations of supporting a proscribed organisation. No obvious issue with that tbh. He's a jewish anti-zionist, according to a brief google.
Why not post criticism of something Big Nige says? [Post edited 24 Aug 21:24]

I don't support big Nige, but you know that already.
My point is more about the free pass for anti-semitism by people that can usually see racism in a speck of dust. | | | |

I have not seen Lineker post something anti semitic to have prompted this post today. | |

So nothing recent or in the news today, you just decided this would be the thread you started tonight.
Looks like an unbelievably transparent attempt to start an argument to me.

Edit: I see you've subsequently referred to a post from yesterday, no idea why you didn't put it in your opening post and instead decided to have a pop at Burnham. Very odd. [Post edited 24 Aug 21:43]

What was problematic with it? You appear reluctant to actually be specific. | |

Criticism of the Israeli gvmt and their extreme Zionist approach is not necessarily antisemitic. |  | | |

Maybe it was unwise to start a thread on Lineker, but his continual re-posting and links anti-semitic content is also unwise. That's my opinion
On the specifics, Greenstein has a long history of anti-semitic comment. I think it's problematic that Lineker chose to post a video of him following his acquittal , especially given the rat post from last year. | | | |

I haven't seen the specific tweet but I hope you aren't one of the people who have been sucked onto thinking criticism of Israel is anti Semitic. It really isn't and the Israeli government hide behind it all the time.
Meanwhile you say you aren't a big Nige supporter but haven't criticised anything he's said that I've noticed. Just agreed with a couple of his key policies instead. | | | |

no-one's denying that he once shared an anti-semitic post (which he apologised for unlike farage with his multiple anti-semitic comments and "jokes"), however the poster said that he was "continually" being anti-semitic
the evidence doesn't back this up! | |

This seems like a very desperate and flimsy attempt to besmirch Burnham's name. The smear wagon's obviously not warmed up yet. |  |
