"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

What's the book, James?

Last Brexit to Dublin

E Arnf Robinson, The Signpost: old WW2-era novel

to all the friends ive lost beef eire

from back when many of the Irish were cheering on this Hitler fellow :p

Hitler v Churchill tbf tough shout

I despise Churchill just as much as Left Twitter does, but I don't believe him reading and knowing about the holocaust through intercepted SS wires means he could have done much to prevent it - even if there was a will to.

Absolutely and to be fair to the lad he never had the opportunity to instigate the concentration camps in India that he would so dearly have loved to

oops, wrong thread. but not really.

Obligatory link to the @ireland account thread on Churchill:

Ok.

Im going to explain in detail why Churchill is a villain. For the 31% of you who voted as a positive just read this and tell me afterwards. https://t.co/EMeIzDK3JN

oh I know he was a glaring antisemite, I'm responding to ppl making other comments that are just plain wrong.

later in the war if Bomber Command had decided to target some infrastructure rather than civilians then they might have done a solid for the Hungarian Jews.

I don't always agree with A.J.P.Taylor but I enjoy and agree with his argument that the entire WWII bombing strategy was essentially pointless murder

yep it was a war-crime, and the British Empire started the bombing civilians strategy months before the Nazis hit London and then carried on with it in "revenge".

What I Iove about this is that every journalist who worked on local newspapers has always met someone who was petitioning the Queen. Mine was a guy in Sidcup who thought the government had put a transmitter in his head https://t.co/n7dT8eBurz

lool

if a petition to the Queen doesn't contain : with all due respect, kill yourself. then why bother?

A rather significant amount, don't you think?

Just saw that, seems steep.

Though I'm not sure how easily "small firms" can just relocate abroad.

Might be a case of Americans supposedly fleeing Trumpland for frostier pastures. Still, the intent is telling.

Project Fear guys, nothing to worry about

it'll be reet, as long as corrupt financial services, preserves, + weapons of death industry stays put the Singapore Model is still do-able.

You had me thinking it was Jeremy Hardy that said that. It's the sort of thing he might say...

oh wait...

A brexiteer called what now

A Brexiteer called Dr Max Gammon tells the Bruges Group that "we are at war" with the EU, that Michel Barnier is "an enemy intent on our defeat" and that we need "a readiness for sacrifice" to fight for our freedom. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/p7e2UfAL4Q

Maximal gammoning indeed.

i am prepared to sacrifice max gammon with no preconditions

Look I can't do the work today that's a shitty comedian yeah?

Is the woman holding him to keep him from tipping over? Shame if tru.

"they call me Dr Max... The Shite Kipper"

srsly tho kids this is another Lee Nelson bit right?

apparently he has written papers on increased NHS bureaucracy, but life is too short..

omg... Gammon's Law!

yeah was just reading that ..lol!

i've got off my deathbed and googled this and it's a bit and ffs people come on

Sometimes I think fictional wikipedia ppl are magically coming too life, because how the fuck did nobody mention there was hard brexiter called Dr Max Gammon until today?

lol I was about to post something similar. Reality is perceptibly reshaping itself in the most stupid way possible

Found a Mirror link with a photo of the old bugger at a UKIP shindig. 'Irrelevant spent force' indeed.

it's the same photo from elsewhere and i would suggest that the caption and the staging clearly indicates that this is "satire"

cmon lads

thnks i thought i'd gone mental for a minute

ah .. right .. I thought smelled the rotting flesh of comedy-fail rather than burnt bacon.

that's me done :-(

Rowena and Max Gammon featured in a 2012 documentary talking about Bermondsey:

(About 5min in)

i guessed when he was called MAX GAMMON

well there is an ex-Tranmere lad called Max Power.

also a journeyman BBC3 comic iirc

some good stuff from D Edgerton "The Brexiteer fantasy yarns of 1940 are inviting us to draw the wrong lesson from history."
