Surely the government must be used to criticism by now, having earned so much of it.

Gary Lineker's comment obviously touched a nerve and he is being slated even though he was not on TV at the time, didn't actually use the word Nazi, and as a private individual surely should be able to express himself under the principle of freedom speech.

That the government policies re asylum seekers are not working has only been reinforced by the children being put into a hotel in Hove and subsequently going missing.

They desperately need some new ideas that are humanitarian AND actually legal.
