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

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."

Some spectacular pictures here:

Gapes hasn’t been bailed out yet.

a pity they didn't put them in the Wakey Monster Mansion by mistake and conveniently forget about it.

lol i've got a very left wing friend whose surname is gammon

is that called nominative disinclination? ftr I'm called Dowd and am very dowdy.

not even going here

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

This is a bit, right?

I'll believe in any old shit when it has been confirmed by a 30 second scroll down GS and an ilx post, especially when using the phone.

Right, but Mike Jones's post points out that it's quite a bit then, deep undercover for 7 years!

who's that behind the gapes four?

I'm conserving bandwidth at the moment, but does that vid confirm there is a prominent brexiteer called Max Gammon?

Yours worried his backside might be going into the bacon slicer.

I heard the voice over at the start of the vid and assumed it was a comedy

the gary younge piece in the guardian today is sound and judging by the comments is exactly the sort of thing a lot of remainers do not want to hear

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/01/poorer-brexiters-worse-off-working-class-leavers

Good piece. Skimmed the comment at the top and oh god fuck that. I really try to rein in my kneejerk class prejudices but you know, butthurt wealthy people can get tae fuck.

The Labour Party will use a three-year-old bulldog called Fritz to play the patriotic card in tonight's party election broadcast

No memory of this but jfc kill everybody

Max Gammon was a candidate for UKIP in the Southwark ward in the 2014 local elections:

I swear Julia Davis turns up in the middle of that documentary
