It was the line about 60 year old vegans in Jesus sandals that got me :lol:

Absolute embarrassment

That's right Lee! Women all enter sporting competitions wearing dresses! It's why they can't beat the men in the 100m, they keep tripping over their strawberry floating ball gowns.

Whenever anyone asks me what I mean when I say I want my country back, they expect me to talk about race, but that's not true! I also hate trans people too!

I'm sure it's a total coincidence that Anderson's bucolic view of Britain was also a time when you could be openly racist/homophobic/xenophobic.

I know the likes of Anderson think the golden age of Britain was before non-whites came here in great numbers and before being gay was decriminalised. So we're talking before the 1960s.

I don't think even Anderson is stupid enough to want to go back before penicillin was commonly available.

So I think he means the mid 1950s. Which is weird, he was born in 1967 and so never even had the country he so desperately wants back.

I immediately dismiss the opinion of anyone who uses the phrase "I want my country back".

Lee Anderson approves of Ironhide's decision to ignore Gandhi and refuse to allow Indian independence.

He’s going to have a heart attack when he finds out who used to tell the stories of Shakespeare.

Shakespeare wrote a letter in favour of immigrants once the woke barstard.

Can you imagine the right wing outrage if a Muslim suggested that we should stop doing pantomimes?

I'd suggest that instead of messing around with ID, the Tories should just raise the voting age to 50+. But they are behind Labour with the over 50s and are neck and neck even with the over 65s.

Just go back to a system where only white male landowners over 60 can vote.

The age profile is bleeding from them so rapidly, soon the only valid form of ID to vote will be a letter from the Queen/King for turning 100 years old.
