My pretend cockney father has been using it for at least as long as I've been alive (almost 30 years!), probably longer. I assumed he got it from Ronnie Barker.

I stand corrected, LJ nicked out from some 40 year old comedy. In the right ball park though.

For someone who claims not to care about politics, he don't half bang on about it.

He's been off for 2 weeks. He comes back with this. A half hearted take on "Covid Monopoly" which spends most of its space whinging about climate protesters, traffic restrictions, asylum seekers (yes, "free council houses" makes an appearance), and coppers being too soft* these days.

Not that it's much of a Monopoly spoof - he just lists place names in London and makes a feeble reference to each one. Shite.

*Not kicking people's heads in.

I knew he would get triggered when the government suggested that two scotch eggs might count as a substantial meal.

Racism, homophobia, pig ignorance, and as many 80s geezerish comedy references as you can think of. Plus some epic joke-explaining.

Still a cunt, mind.

I can't get my head around the astronomical sums of that have been thrown at Covid-19

Its supposed to be a journalist’s job to find out. Disingenuous wanker portrays Johnson’s crony contract corruption as just a typical episode by the money wasting layabout civil servants.

Yes, there's a strong sense of "foolish weak Jim Hacker forced into this by scheming Sir Humphrey" about his take.

You plan to pay your respects at the Cenotaph, but find your path blocked by Metropolitan Police officers running away from Black Lives Matter demonstrators.

Take the knee or get your head kicked in.

Go fuck yourself, Dickie.

Oh, and -

There’s always been a strong homoerotic tendency on the Far Right.

Gosh. Really. You don't say, Dickie.

Dickie's had enough of BLM. Apparently he was anti-racist before it was cool. Like in 2000.

Cultural reference is the Sex Pistols, complete with shit cartoon. For crying out loud, the Gizzard Puke punk caricature was outdated the moment it appeared, and bore precious little resemblance to reality.

What's Dickie's view on Irish players refusing to take part in Poppy wearing virtue signalling?

The final straw came on Remembrance Sunday when, after observing a minute’s silence for our glorious war dead, the players then knelt in subjugation to a sometimes violent, politically motivated mob which attacked Churchill’s statue and desecrated the Cenotaph.

[Andy McDandy]

"They're over here playing our game and if they don't like it they can fuck off back to Bogland" I suspect.

[The Red Arrow]

Maybe Dickie could tell us all about the history of Irish troops and regiments in the British army through the centuries. Or how much tax a Florida resident pays towards the upkeep of a country he professes to care about so much.

[cycloon]

Conflating all of BLM with the actions of those at the Cenotaph aside, politically motivated??

YOU DON'T DAY DICKIE. GOODNESS ME WHAT INSIGHT.
