Gary Lineker has said he still believes his tweet about the Government’s “cruel” asylum policy was “factually accurate”.
The Match Of The Day presenter told Alastair Campbell, during an interview for Men’s Health UK magazine, that he stood by his comments.
“Then the ‘stick to football’ people weighed in and I replied to one of them, just saying there was no massive influx, the UK takes far fewer refugees than other European countries, this is a cruel policy, and the language used in the debate reminds us of the debate in Germany in the 1930s.
Lineker said that after he had been taken off air by the BBC he found it “hard to see how it got resolved unless they backed down”.
