A letter to Gary Lineker has gone viral and it has left people wondering why it was aimed at the ex football star.

John G, who, going from his Twitter bio, is a ‘Community Campaigner. Currently trying to put the spotlight onto Cemeteries & Chapels around the UK for those laid to rest and loved ones visiting.”

Could you please, please retweet this everyone. ♥️🙏🏻

Dear Gary Lineker,

This homeless man has made himself a survival den, as his home in the bushes of a park in the UK.

This homeless man has made himself a survival den, as his home in the bushes of a park in the UK.

A British man with mental health issues who has told me he has cancer too. Today I have taken him some tins of food and a lantern battery light.

When darkness falls at the end of each day, as you enjoy the comforts of just one of your luxury mansion homes – please think about this poor chap.

It isn’t just illegal Asylum Seekers coming in by boat (mainly men) who need help. Seeing some of these men in person myself they don’t look very distressed in fleeing their home Country. Many people in Britain need real help too.

I guess you will be happy though knowing at least in Britain the immigrants are staying in 4* hotels with all their food paid for, a weekly allowance and a mobile phone.

How wrong things are at this time.

Follow up tweet

He then tweeted: “Thank you so much to everyone one of you kind, caring human beings for retweeting my message to Gary Lineker.

“I only wish Gary was so concerned about UK Citizens sleeping on bare pavements, shop doorways and parks as he is about men coming into the UK by boat wearing nice trainers and checking in to a four star hotel that the Government is supposedly paying 6 million a day for.

“If you are homeless in this Country you clearly mean nothing. I think this is disgusting and it is totally wrong.”

Thank you so much to everyone one of you kind, caring human beings for retweeting my message to Gary Lineker.

Reactions

Indeed, the story of this man is truly shocking and nobody will not have sympathy for his situation.

However, people wondered why Lineker was the person the letter was aimed at.

1.

Not sure how this is Gary Lineker's fault. He is not the PM or a politician. Maybe if you replaced Gary Lineker, with Rishi Sunak, it might make more sense.

Think this should start

“Dear Rishi Sunak,”

Feel free to delete and repost.

Hi John

The government are responsible for homelessness not a TV presenter

Hope this is helpful

— David (@Obstreperous___) June 5, 2023

Why are you virtue signalling to a celebrity?

Why don’t you address your concerns to the Government? After all, they are the people who decide where (& how much) money is spent on homelessness, immigration etc.

If you voted Tory you have no grounds to complain 😔

Thanks for the kindness that you have shown this poor man, but quite disingenuous of you to imply that one issue has to do with the other. I hope he gets the help he both needs and deserves.

At first it looks like you genuinely care for this poor soul, but actually you’re more interested in making Gary Lineker feel bad aren’t you?

Why aren’t you raising this issue with the Home Secretary, @SuellaBraverman or your local council?

Welcome to dystopian Britain where celebrities are held to account for the nation's problems by plebs more so than the politicians they voted for https://t.co/Kqw3yWcQzv

Imagine using a homeless man with mental health issues and cancer to cause divide, and to have a go at refugees. https://t.co/z94KSIR822

This has to be the stupidest Tweet I have ever read on these pages.

Why are you addressing a football pundit instead of your local MP?

Are you an imbecile? https://t.co/kwdmhzTuZp

This sum it up?
