It's like some sort of sixth-form rag week skit from a minor public school. Twee, middle-class bollocks.

Being able to recite every word of Cher Lloyd’s X Factor audition.

Arriving in Antalya on your holibobs and confidently ordering: “Dos cervacas poray favoray.”

Referring to Sainsbury’s as “sainy b” or “sainos”.

Referring to Buckingham Palace as “Bucky P” or “Bucko Pal”.

Referring to the pandemic as the “panny d”.

I would consider any two of these as a good reason to murder you and chuck the body in the cut. If you ever say "holibobs" to me instead of holidays I'm dropping the nut on you.

It's not like there's anything important going on they could cover eh?

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Couldn’t agree more.. nm

Re: Guardian 'journalism' at its finest...Dylan B Jones and his antisemitism smears

What a dickhead.

From Wiki;
In 2018, Jones wrote for The Guardian, "Though in 2008 I 'came out' as a Tory, today I wouldn't describe myself as a Conservative." He described "the thought of Jacob Rees-Mogg being taken seriously by the electorate" as "frightening" but was more critical of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying his attitude to antisemitism in the party was "insulting".[7] Jones was a prominent supporter of the London Garden Bridge Project.[8] In 2017, he expressed criticism of Jeremy Corbyn and his demeanour during a British GQ cover shoot.[9][10]

I actually read it thinking...surely there's one thing that I can say "yes" to out of a hundred...

But no...seems by these criterion I'm not even 1% British:...so no "Defining" and "Uniting" for me then.
-Maybe it was written to amuse the Guardian's real audience in the US?

It wasn't just us
