"croissant-munching, latte-sipping": instances of misconceived media-class self-loathing ITT

(I'm just o_O that his book is £20!)

It'll be 99p soon enough.

I'll have it on my toast at that price point!

Another charity shop destined classic, who the fuck would want to read Rob Beckett's opinion on anything.

There's going to be some very unhappy dads getting this shit for their Christmas this year, look for the divorce rate to start climbing in the new year.

Not quite satisfying the remit of the thread but look at this classic piece of nonsense Tom Tugentwat has just come out with.

"If we cannot speak to that country then the separatists, the socialists, and the sandal-wearers will tear our great country down. They will reverse Brexit and drag us into a decade of decline."

at this point i'm desperate enough to support a popular front of separatists, socialists and sandal-wearers to crush tory reaction for good. if those only those groups had the coherence and power and discipline attributed to them by the right

if we had actual democratic discourse in this country no tory could be able to get away with warnings about "a decade of decline" ffs

Captain Tugwash loses points for not going with 'sandalnistas'

Poster Left makes a good point: we've just had a decade of decline.

On the other hand, in September 2012 the average house price in the UK was £162,080:

Whereas now a house is £289,099:

Can you imagine the nightmare of a Labour government? House prices might have gone down.

Until I read this article I did not know that "No potatoes! No Popery!" was a Conservative campaign slogan in Lewes in 1765.

one of these things is not like the other!

just in case of linkrot i think it is important to preserve “tofu-eating wokerati” here in a kind of semi-perpetuity

Mmmmmm, croissants.

everyone loves to munch em

'woke' has been fully ceded to the Right, I hear it 1000% times more from them than I've ever heard from starry-eyed do-gooder lefties

Stay woke, buy these cookies

“tofu-eating wokerati” sounds v racist against people who cook tofu in woks

woke is just the normie version of cucked now

tofu does not deserve this (also doesn't deserve the way people cook it in the west)

Woke-fu

men who eat tofu are basically being cuckolded by something foreign and might as well be women

the tofu-eating wokerati is transing your kids

'tofu-eating wokerati' will end up on Ted Nugent's next album, can almost guarantee it

or Ian Brown

Critical Race Tofu

Everybody was tofu fighting

Carl Douglas cancelled for appropriation of ancient Chinese art

I'd like to fu, but my wife still hasn't forgiven me for the last time I wokerati

The people least likely to say "you go first" in Lidl when they've got a month's shopping & you've got six apples & a paper are the ones with spending £100+ on kale, blueberries and beansprouts etc

— John Harris (@johnharris1969) November 15, 2022

ah that famously elitist food, vegetables

you can get a huge bag of kale for less than a quid and I've heard it derided by a sophisticated foodie as "basically cattle-feed". Anyway I like it in soups and macaroni cheese so stick your apples up your arrisehole and what kind of a dick goes into Lidl to buy a newspaper.

man john harris is fumin eh

Shocking that someone trying to feed a family on a budget won’t make way for a posh journo cunt giving it the “ee I only eat apples and paper me”

It's fun when he shows you what a peevish little runt he is rather than hiding behind a bunch of northern pensioner sock puppets

Very, very strange tweet from JH. Deserves to stand in infamy.

Personally I would never spend £100 in a supermarket (might do with an online order) but people who do are presumably feeding a family for a week - as poster Wins says.

So JH is opposed to people feeding a family, if they eat fruit and vegetables.

Though JH has probably also written columns saying things like "part of the problem is diet - how can we get more working-class communities eating healthily and increasing their life chances?".

So he should not be opposed to any family eating fruit and vegetables.

It's an unusually bad take even from him.

Also: surely the truth about who "goes first" in a queue is - whoever is first in the queue. Most of the time this is simple, not a matter of debate.

queueing a bit longer is priced in at Lidl, there are less checkouts than other supermarkets. Everyone knows this.

Well, it is nice and polite when someone with hundreds of items in their trolly offers to let me, with only my TV Choice and low fat Olive spread in my basket, go ahead of them in the queue, and this has happened to me quite often in my local Lidl. But it's not a source of tweet-grievance when it doesn't happen.

Now I know why I don't shop at Lidl, in case I bump in to John Harris

who to believe

doesnt he live on the england-wales border, he shd go to a SPAR and shut up

the second first obv

The Govan Lidl, my local, doesn't have self-checkout (yet). Perhaps Lidls on the England-Wales border are also without (yet).

I've never seen a self-checkout in a Lidl albeit ime of 3 branches in w yorkshire

my nearest has self-checkout, it's still a queue

The only time I use a cashier at Lidl is when I have a 12kg bag of working dog kibble in my cart and there’s no way I’d want or be able to hoik it onto the packing area sensor.

Are blueberries a thing we’re supposed to hate? Blueberries? It’s just… weird.

Wait, what?

they're sort of foreign and delicate. I guess blackberries would be the more acceptable british proletarian choice, if any fruit is acceptable

kale is sort of frilly and lacey so clearly not appropriate for the working man who likes his cabbage straight

Funk-loving blueberry-eating southerners

Twitter search function still works.
