A public school education and he still gets pocket money. I bet Gary's proud of him... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ing-limit-wanted-early-morning-McDonalds.html
Mummy's gonna pay his fine ...................... If he was mine i'd tell him to pay it himself and if he aint got the money TOUGH, off to HMP Brixton he would go for 28 days for non payment of fines. Thats the trouble with todays "Rich Kids" mummy and daddy bail em out every time which gives em the idea that they can get away with it every time they screw up, and believe me he will time and time again.

There are plenty of them about; idiot sons of successful fathers. One has to be careful not to make sweeping generalisations, of course, but the trouble with making it big and having the money to lavish on your offspring is that said spawn don't necessarily inherit your values, nor benefit from expensive education and liberal parenting. We have seen it many times with the children of rock stars etc., with the likes of Peaches Geldof a potentially sobering example of what can happen. Then again, there's a fair number of Richard Craniums growing up within a myriad different social and economic backgrounds, as well as a fair number of success stories.
Harry Lineker, 20, arrives at court with his mother Michelle, right. Really? No **** Sherlock! I thought that he was dressed as a woman and the man was his mum. ****ing Daily Fail!! This is a non-story, if he was any other DD fool, it wouldn't make the local rag. Cheap, petty journalism.
Obviously a totally spoilt rich brat who thinks that because daddy is rich he can do anything he likes and doesn't have to do a day's work. He should be banged up. I bet Gary is so proud.
So what do you read then? The Mirror? The Socialist Worker? Seriously, the biggest issue you have with the story is that they said his mum was on his right? It's clear you don't like the mail, but really?
But is that what you'd do (not you specifically, Soops, but the proverbial 'you')? If I made my fortune - I'm still working at it in vain, by the way - then I'm buggered if I'm leaving it to some charity or other, presumably to finance the CEO's six-figure salary and top of the range Merc, at the expense of providing for future generations of Ubers. I would hope that I've raised Uber Major, Uber Minor and Lil' Miss Uber properly such that they'd put such wealth to good use, promoting worthy causes, creating employment and general do-gooding, as well as they themselves living well and being able to provide for their children.
I agree entirely Uber, I'd do the same as my offspring appear reasonably well-adjusted to life in the real world. Sadly, Lineker Junior, 'International Man of Leisure' appears to have inherited the 'arsehole gene'...
There's a wider problem developing, than merely young Gary mini-me refusing to work until he's offered a plum job in BBC TV Sport. Youngsters are leaving college with useless degrees and a sense of entitlement encouraged by government. Not for them skills in trade or mundane business, they too would rather wait until someone offers them a job as a media presenter or film producer.
Not sure that's news, teenagers have always been unrealistic about their worth - I know I was. I think the sons of successful men have an extra chip on their shoulder though. Can't remember where I read it, probably here, but there was a story last year about Shaun Derry going to see his son play for a Palace youth team and being horrified at his lack of fight and effort. Of course, Shaun's son didn't grow up playing football on a Nottingham council estate like his dad but he's also got to find his own way, I think a lot of such kids find it difficult 'standing in the shadows of a very famous man'.
So much hatred on here and lets face it most of it born out of envy. If I had rich parents and I could get away with it I would be damned if I would go out to work either. Just looking into the minutae of this case he had 86mil of alcohol in his system with the legal limit being 80, what is that? One sip too many? No social workers on here obviously or we would have heard about the "broken home" statistics!
Wrong? The point is it would not make the local rag if it wasn't the son of Gary Lineker. Who gives a ****? Ergo, why is it news?
I reckon I'd be able to list the readers of the Fail on here with 100% accuracy. There's 3 of them in the first few replies alone
The serious point so far as this country is concerned is that vital and well-paid trades such electricians, plumbers, skilled builders etc are being ignored by British youth (because they think it is beneath them) in favour of chasing sexier, and much, much scarcer jobs in, for example, high profile media. And they are surprised when they can't find employment. Increasingly, these trades are being supplied in the UK by recent, and competent, immigrants. Compare the position with Germany where trades, and jobs in manufacturing, engineering etc are held in high regard - as high as the professions, banking etc...
