“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.

Palestinian Chronicle
Renowned British figure Gary Lineker, a leading voice in the nation, has gained attention for expressing strong opinions on social and political matters, including critical views of the British government and drawing comparisons to the Third Reich. He actively advocates for progressive ideals and has demonstrated compassion by hosting an international student in his home for a month, whom he referred to as a refugee, showcasing a gesture of hospitality.
Recently, Lineker faced backlash after sharing a tweet about the unfortunate killing of fellow footballer Ahmed Daraghmeh by Israeli forces during combat. This tweet was met with disapproval, particularly within the BBC, where Lineker has a notable presence. Subsequently, Lineker has maintained a noticeable silence on the matter, suggesting a shift towards impartiality.
One could argue that likening the British government to the Third Reich may be deeply offensive to those who suffered and lost their lives under the Nazi regime, as well as to their surviving relatives. This raises questions about Lineker’s consistency in behavior and whether it aligns with the principles of impartiality as outlined in the BBC charter. The contrasting response to the Ahmed Daraghmeh incident also prompts reflection on Lineker’s stance towards the Israeli government.
