Nigel Farage accused Gary Lineker of spreading hate and we’re all at irony’s funeral now
The Free-speech Brigade are remarkably upset that Gary Lineker was able to say what he thought, in his own time, on his own Twitter account – and perhaps none more so than Dover beachcomber, Nigel Farage.
He’s really banging that drum. Perhaps he fancies the Match of the Day job for himself.
But it was this tweet that got the most attention.

It’s like being accused of blatant Catholicism by the Pope when you’re not even Catholic, and tweeters weren’t going to let it lie.

Can you really not see the irony in this tweet, Nigel?

These could only be topped in the lack of self-awareness stakes if an actual elephant started tweeting disgusted about the size of Gary Lineker's ears… pic.twitter.com/VJFYKrcAvk

Farage’s latest obsession may have a silver lining.
If you want to send your progressive loved ones a personalised birthday message from Nigel Farage, there's no longer any need to pay for it.
There's a video of him WAAAHing over Gary Lineker on his timeline, that cannot be improved upon in its deliciousness.
