Wow! That's quite a list of Lineker's 'faults'! Being rich and famous doesn't per se exclude one from commenting on issues of the day, surely? How less privileged does one have to be before one qualifies? Wouldn't it be worse to keep silent, because one is wealthy and successful and famous, compared to making a comment and expressing a viewpoint? Lineker's point about the 'Language' employed to describe the migrant issue is justified in my opinion. It was a heartfelt remark, not a 'scientific analysis', one has to be able to distinguish between different types of utterances in different contexts.
