I hope @GaryLineker takes action. We’re all sick to the back teeth of racists, Islamophobes, grifters and assorted bad faith actors defaming people for clicks, cash and kudos https://t.co/QMs11UHGSX
On Mark Dolan Tonight, Mark is asking: As Gary Lineker tells the Guardian he has been the victim of serious online threats, is the BBC star being treated unfairly just for having an opinion?
I feel zero sympathy for @GaryLineker. Nobody forced him to be an antisemitic arse. No-one demanded he be racist about Israel. https://t.co/yoHqr5o6sq
