Match of the Day frontman is also opposition frontbench, Back of the Net can confirm
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker is now officially Her Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition, following his one-man campaign to depict immigrants as human beings.
Lineker has attracted controversy for suggesting that flagrant, balls-out racists might be guilty of racism, with many voices in the pro-xenophobia camp calling for him to be sacked from the BBC.
Now the 55-year-old’s unease at the idea of enforcing dental checks on refugees – like something out of a counterfactual dystopia where the Nazis won – has seen him catapulted into the role of Leader of the Opposition, the position having been effectively vacant for some time.
