British Politics

It’s a pic from Twitter ...

The twitter pic sneakily crops out the last line which shows it was a joke

"And that brings me to the last and greatest group of male culprits. Most of these single mothers have had the common sense to detect that the modern British male is useless.

“If he is blue collar, he is likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless, and perhaps claiming to suffer from low self-esteem brought on by unemployment.

“If he is white collar, he is likely to be little better.”


It's self deprecating humour

Not. Popping.

 

Amazing how hyphens were used a lot more back in the day. I remember reading the old war ones by the famous Scottish guy and it was normal for, "to-morrow" to be written. World has gone mad.

 

He meant *****s

 

Are you a fan of Flashman?

 

It's a George Best quote

 

He wasn't the ones I meant, but have read one of the books about him. If I remember correctly, I was rather disappointed in it.

 

No ****, Sherlock?

@Toley Fart will get what my joke was though

 

You've seriously went down in my estimation, my old boy had me reading them from I was about 12, fantastic literature

 

I read my first one about 10 years ago, so in my very late teens, maybe I would have preferred it if I was 12.

the link I posted explains and corrects the whole quote .

 

"And that brings me to the last and greatest group of male culprits. Most of these single mothers have had the common sense to detect that the modern British male is useless.

After slating blue collar men he finishes with


“If he is white collar, he is likely to be little better.

The modern British male is useless including himself.

He's hating on modern British men .

 

Yes , I read it as it’s in the link I posted .

I removed my post as I can’t be arsed discussing if bojo actually believes what he wrote...

 

It's like saying Milenials are skinny pale limp wristed , effeminate computer game nerds that spend their lives fapping and gaming , boomers are not much better .

 

That QUOTE from the twitter pic out of context with parts missing looks bad .

That's why it was created .

If you read the entire piece it would be quite easy to realise he was joking

 

I just post stuff from twitter and Reddit .
