Quote from: Toronto Villa on December 18, 2023, 09:31:47 PMDon’t we all demonstrate an element of hypocrisy? We buy Chinese goods despite their human rights records. Often in the production of the very products we consume. We watched and enjoyed the WC with knowledge of what took place to host it. Same with the Olympics in China or Russia. And it’s not like our hands are clean. There are plenty of things we could do to be better. If you find Gary Lineker offensive, of all the people you could choose to get upset over, then I would suggest you find time to demonstrate vociferously about the myriad of things that pale in comparison to anything he has ever said or done. In the context of media figures he is as bland as they come, and on the whole lacking in any kind of serious controversy. There are many way, way worse.Correct. We've all.got the hypocrite vibe to lesser or greater extents!

PCB's is an other good example. We have little choice. Lineker as a multi multi millionaire has choices around the work he chooses and the tweets he tweets
