Don’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!

Indeed as Michael.Corleone said to Senator Geary.

Not everyone is a self-aware of own said hypocrisy mind. The richer the less so in my experience.

For anyone centre-left or further it's virtually impossible to live in modern Britain without being a bit of a hypocrite and you learn pretty quickly to pick your battles.

slightly different though to be fair, try buying electrical components for domestic use that aren't from China for example, its more a result of the capitalist world we have to live in rather than personal choice , unless you want to go back to lighting your home with candles for example.
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

By that logic, so do you - you can strip all domestic appliances from your life.

Starting with your router, ideally.

I do know. It's the fellow who tells me where to go when I turn up for my appointments.

Internet was a bit slow the other week with us both working from home, the wife complained and I told her the Virgin router was voice activated.

She stood there by the window shouting 'Router reboot now' repeatedly without joy before coming to see me again, by which point I was actually crying.

Like i say he had a choice as a wealthy man to back up his views with actions rather than just use them as a PR stunt. . And lets while we're at it just sweep under the carpet the millions he earnt from Al Jazeerah shall we.

She was in too deeply that point.

And I still had hair.

It’s actually something to cut channels in wood, plaster etc. Ironically, we pronounce that device the same way that Americans pronounce the box of magic that allows us access to the beneficence that is the internet.
