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

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

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

Read that piece by Younge earlier today.

Our challenge is not to mock, but to tell a better story. One that includes them, has a future for all of us and, ultimately, turns “them” and “us” into “we”.

Too late even if that challenge was met, which it would never be.

People's Vote crowd have quietened down a bit on actually pushing for the vote - its now all about "enjoy baked beans for the rest of your life" type talk. Not sure if they will move now and just shout/laugh at people from Australia or Canada (as long as they get the points to move ofc)

Younge kinda left out the point that the Labour Party spent 20-odd years making sure middle class liberals didn't have to vote for more redistribution of wealth

"One that includes them, has a future for all of us and, ultimately, turns “them” and “us” into “we”."

try telling that to Mandy, who smugly assumed the "them" would never have anywhere else to go.

god just thinking about it all we might miss the lol sure starts centres/tax-credits/less widespread poverty etc but not the suffocating smugness of the New Labour project.

Ah, "hard to reach" families how I miss patronising you

^^^the prince of darkness and the longest game

also this shocking revelation: ..talking daily to his close friend George Galloway, whom he addressed as “chief”.

tbf it's darkness all the way down

‘Chief’ is not a term of endearment to Scots.

aye it is

The Guardian front page, Saturday 2 February 2019: Officials warn of putrefying piles of waste after Brexit pic.twitter.com/qADRcwLKUu

more hyperbole and hot air from the metropolitan elites that haven't even been to Keighley:p

Nice juxtaposition of putrefying piles of waste with the free food magazine.

thing is when you spread rotting offal over 100 metres of road, it's been proven that the road becomes much more nutritious.

upper achill not even slightly differentiated: map is bullshit

The United Kingdom of London and Northern Ireland.

tbf a lot of the people in Wales are sheep.

some of the non-Welsh in the northern region might well be Woolybacks.

London result there is as much a rejection of the concept of 'Englishness' as anything else. I've lived my entire life in England and would never self-identity as 'English' and neither would millions of Londoners who are children or grandchildren of immigrants.

Easy to miss especially on a phone screen but that's Leicester there in purple in the middle of the map right?

yes, Leicester

proud of my London fam there. I don't think of myself as English, either tbh (and im not, 2 European immigrant halves)

Interesting stuff in that map but is there one showing the other identifications in each county? Interesting that Liverpool is dark red, unlike Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham even Derby
