Let's revive the Bulldog spirit of World War Two, defy the Brexit Jeremiahs and dig for victory as we prepare to leave the EU

World War II Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

It could have been worserer, he could have written a 'Littlejohn imagines' article where DCI Gene Hunt takes over the Brexit negotiations.

No Richard, the Sunday Times didn't copy it from you. It's a headline staple ever since the book was published and the TV series aired.

[cycloon]

Yes. Let's invoke WWII as a great time to be alive.

Posho Remainers are stocking up (really?), they drink fancy mineral water, Del and Rodney Peckham Spring.

Reminds me of a Cockney Wanker strip in Viz, where having passed the knowledge, he has to take the second taxi drivers test - the ignorance.

"Can you get from nice weather we're having for this time of year, to I'd pull the lever myself, via kids today don't know they're born, Mr Wanker?"

What is his obsession with Jack Monroe and kale pesto? Does he think poor people should all eat chips, or is it because it's meatless and therefore a bit funny?

[cycloon]

Both. The idea of improving the workers' lot is entirely foreign to such a working man's hero, and vegans lol.

And yet he'd fall right in with the idea that the poor don't have to go hungry, they just don't know how to cook anymore, not like my dear old mum who fed seventeen of us with a potato and an Oxo cube.

Speaking as someone who was fed bread and beef Oxo dissolved in boiling water as a restorative...

Dear Richard Littlejohn – here are all the things you got wrong about me
Jack Monroe
Jack Monroe
I'm not single, and I didn't quit my job for a life on benefits, but why let facts get in the way of your Daily Mail column?

Five years ago but the butthurt hasn't faded.

[cycloon]

Oh of course. The new working class are all shits. It were the old ones, with twinkles in their eyes...

[MisterMuncher]

Kale pesto and Monroe's work in general probably signifies aspiration. Taking cabbage and trying to make it into something tasty and relatively exotic to provide a little shaft of light in your shitty fucking bedsit smacks of actually trying to improve your lot. You'll have it boiled to bits alongside your instant mash like a good little prole. Enjoy your rickets and incessant diarrhoea.

Never forget a certain breed of conservative that enjoys substantial overlap with the target audience here views poverty as the manifestation of moral and personal shortcomings, and they should always be punished (as if it wasn't already punishing) for it.

My father was a school caretaker. He told us of one kid he had to rinse down after an incontinence was badly neglected. He was sent to the shops by his mother for a packet of Players (for her), a small loaf and six Oxo. His main, often only, meal was bread soaked in Oxo. That would have been 1957 or so. Stayed with me, that story.
