Because he’s a football commentator, not a politician and most people don’t give a fig about his opinion. He should change careers if he thinks he knows best.Why is he a waste of space? Good for him continuing to call out this heinous xenophobic government.
Leaving things to the politicians in power has really worked out well over the last 13 years in the UK.Nothing anyone says will change my views of him. He’s supposed to be impartial, or at least keep his opinions to himself as a BBC employee. I used to like him many years ago when he was a footballer. He’s got very bitter in recent years. He says we are taking less migrants than other countries - I say look at the size and population of the UK compared to France, as an example. The infrastructure cannot cope, it’s as simple as that. What is the solution? I don’t know. You cannot blame these people for trying their luck at a better life, but unfortunate we have to leave it to the politicians (it’s their job), much as Gary thinks he knows best.
I agree with you, it doesn’t matter which party is in power though, I don’t believe there would have been/will be a different outcome. Economic migrants are a world wide problem and I can’t see a solution. However I resent the implication that this country is racist. It absolutely is not for the most part, which is probably why so many people attempt to enter.Leaving things to the politicians in power has really worked out well over the last 13 years in the UK.
The reason why this country's infrastructure is in a bad way isn't down to these people trying to enter the country. The government are pointing the finger at them to cover up their own failings.
I'm pleased to see him speaking up on this.
It would get a bit crowded if all the other ‘celebrities’ started wading in. He seems to have an opinion on absolutely everything and it’s a bit arrogant to assume everyone is interested in his rants.The idea that footballers should not voice an opinion on anything except football is utterly ridiculous. Leaving politics to politicians has obviously not worked out too well so the more people express their opinions and get involved the better.
Having said that, Right Said Fred should stick to singing!
