Gary Lineker shone a light on cruelty | Observer letters

Gary Lineker's impartiality is irrelevant in comparison with what he was pointing at: the cruelty, the inhumanity and the shame inherent in the government's immigration policies (It's taken a brave football star to inject morality into our shaming debate on migrants, Comment, last week).The Calais crossings are the tip of an iceberg, they are just the beginning; the pressures of climate change, proxy wars, and capitalisation of the world will increasingly force peoples into mass migration.
