For anyone who doubts the level of celebrity I still have in the UK? I was coming out the Central Bar in Arbroath last night at 930, walking down what used to be the old duel carriageway towards the harbour and someone rolled down their window and shouted “GAMESMASTER!” So GIRUY.
8 lines every flag-shagging plastic “patriot” has in their playbook
1.“I want my country back” - From what? You voted for the party that ran it for 14 years.
2.“Our grandads didn’t fight for this” - Your grandads would be ashamed that you can’t find Normandy on a map. They fought with Poles, Sikhs, Gurkhas, and West Indians beside them. They’d have more in common with the immigrants you hate than plastic patriots sharing memes about them.
3.“This isn’t the Britain I grew up in” - Correct. It has lower crime, longer life expectancy, and better healthcare than the 1970s you’re romanticising. You just don’t remember the power cuts and three-day weeks.
4.“Britain is broken” - The most unpatriotic sentence in the English language, repeated daily by people say they love their country.
5. “We’re full” - The Netherlands has twice the population density and somehow manages. The UK is not full. It’s just had 14 years of no housebuilding and you need someone darker than you to blame for it.
6.“We look after our own first” - You vote for parties that cut disability benefits, froze nurses’ pay, gave tax breaks to the rich and closed Sure Start centres. You don’t look after anyone.
7.“Stop the boats” - The Tories spent £700 million on Rwanda to deport four people. Zero boats were stopped. You cheered anyway.
8.“Starmer is a traitor” - The man prosecuted terrorists, paedophile rings, and war criminals as DPP. You import American culture war propaganda from people who openly despise our allies, trash your own country 24/7, and follow convicted fraudsters who lied about where they were born. The only ones treacherously trashing Britain’s reputation daily are you.
absolutely FUMING still shaking writing this 😡🇬🇧
been BARRED from my own local (not naming it but its in staffordshire and it used to smell like damp carpet and GLORY) and youll never guess why
walked in like normal, nod to my seat, ready for a pint and a packet of crisps when the barman just goes “not tonight mate”
i said WHAT DO YOU MEAN not tonight
he points at this sign behind him “RESTORE BRITAIN PUB” like its some sort of official government department
i said ive been coming here since before BREXIT WAS A GLINT IN ANYONES EYE
he leans in and goes “we’ve had complaints… about your background”
i said WHAT BACKGROUND
he goes “scots dad… irish mum… its confusing people”
CONFUSING PEOPLE???
i said thats literally how the UK WORKS mate
then he goes “and the hair”
i said WHAT ABOUT THE HAIR
he says “turkish barber… we’ve noticed”
like ive committed treason with a fade
next thing i know the whole pub starts SINGING at me
SINGING
“Jerusalem”
full volume, like a choir of angry uncles
looking straight at me while they sing “and did those feet in ancient time” like my feet arent WELCOME on the carpet anymore
one bloke even points at me on “in england’s green and pleasant land” as if to say NOT YOU MATE
i said this is harassment
someone shouted “learn the words first” 😡
so i walk out, dignity shattered, and now ive had to go to the SNOOKER CLUB
i DONT EVEN LIKE SNOOKER
just sitting there in silence watching balls gently collide like its a maths lesson
tried to order a pint, bloke says “quiet please”
QUIET???
im trying to DRINK not sit an exam
then it gets worse
they start singing at me as well
“The Snooker Song”
i didnt even know that was a REAL THING
all whisper singing it like its some sort of cult, looking at me like im the outsider again
one of them says “you wouldnt understand the angles”
ANGLES???
im trying to forget ive been ethnically CONFUSED out of my local not calculate trajectories
and then—this is TRUE—i bump into Captain Sensible at the bar
i say mate have you seen whats happening to pubs
he just laughs and says “calm down its only snooker” and walks off like that solves ANYTHING
then Gemma Collins is there AGAIN (why is she everywhere) going “im not getting involved babes” while very clearly WATCHING everything
no one is helping me
NO ONE
and ANOTHER THING
i went to the local pool the other day to clear my head right, thought id have a relaxing swim
came out with a VERRUCA
a VERRUCA
from the FLOOR
walking about like im patient zero, cant even put weight on it properly, googling treatments at 2am like some sort of medical emergency, socks on in the house now like a pensioner
so now ive got no pub, no dignity, a painful foot, and im being serenaded by snooker enthusiasts
this is what its come to
SHARE if youve been pushed out, sung at, and infected just for trying to live your life
This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion

Once saw a crowd of people around Richard Herring at a motorbike event. Got a selfie with him and spent ten minutes telling him how I loved his comedy. Later looked and it was just a random bloke with long hair and a goatee
