The boxing promoter has slammed the England football legend for his views on immigration
Boxing promoter Frank Warren has hit back at England football legend Gary Lineker with a fiery retort to the BBC host's views on UK migration.
Now, Warren, a proud Londoner, argues that Lineker was wrong to criticise the policy so vocally, insisting that "the floodgates have opened," adding "And it is changing the fabric of our society, there's no doubt about that," he told The Telegraph. "I don't think you should have to be ashamed about being British. But if you're a white guy, over 50 years of age, you're starting to be treated as an outsider, as if you don't matter.
"But we should be welcoming legal immigrants, making them go through the process. This illegal dimension is changing the dynamics around schools, housing, hospitals. It's totally unacceptable." "The Iranians talk about America and other Western countries being the enemies they don't even mention us. We're not there. Then you have Ben Wallace, the former defence secretary, saying that we don't have the equipment to shoot down the missiles falling on Israel. We're a little island, but we have stood up against oppression for centuries and still maintained our identity. So, where has our standing gone? ".
