Lee Anderthal.

Just spotted in the wild for the first time. Marvellous!

[The Weeping Angel]

[Crabcakes]

It's partly owning the libs, but there's also some classic Tory inclusivity there. They love to bring people who aren't like them into the fold...

This would be an admirable activity if not for the regrettable fact that whether they’re old etonians, daughters of immigrants, or ‘man of the people’ pub bores, they are all still a bunch of export-strength shithammers with all the warmth and humanity of a fully automated abattoir.

[Abernathy]

Caller into LBC last night, reaching effortlessly for the most worn-out cliche in the sack, actually says Lee Anderson is "a breath of fresh air."

I’d question if anyone in that thread knew a working class northerner.

Though if it’s Angela Rayner they feel it’s fair game, the exact same white middle class nepo westminister lobby journos as well.

[The Weeping Angel]

Lee Anderson is representative of the working classes if the working classes were all a bunch of thick, nasty dickheads like he and Kevin here is

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Kev is the partner of my local MP. For some reason (!) the local press never makes that clear...

He is a shit of the first order, and I would suggest that his knowledge of Northerners (not that Anderson is actually a Northerner, he's from the East Midlands) and working class people is pretty limited.

Fortunately all the northerners I know are solid Labour.

I know people who ‘connect with Boris.’ People you wouldn’t ask to babysit your wallet or teenage daughter. Is Edger his nickname?

Nominative Determinism means he'll soon be sitting in the lords.

Posho elitist book reader, Captain Tobias Ellwood of the Royal Green Jackets, disses populist patriot, Lee Anderson.

What voters in Ashfield think of Lee Anderson

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... e-anderson

Including this arsehole

“He’s on the right track if you ask me, but instead of the death penalty I’d go for a little bit of torture every week, teach them a lesson. It’s too easy to execute,” said a shopper outside the library who didn’t want to be named.

I can only assume that they're one of Anderson's mates.

[mattomac]

Yeah the only supportive comment wants to introduce torture to the prison population.

I thought Kev had split with the Tory Mp, well it’s what his Grindr profile suggests

[mattomac]

The thing is you’d get a few relatives of mine spout this, one slight problem is I doubt any of them will be voting Tory next time from their comments.

And they happen to live in a Tory marginal from before 2019.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Lettuce Lee?

[Samanfur]

I'm currently reading the British Election Study into the GE of 2019. One fact it threw out was that Lee Anderson is the only former miner currently sitting in the Commons.

There's a real dearth of manual workers in there at the moment, on both sides. He could probably make at least as much political capital out of that as he does about culture wars, if he wasn't quite so keen on dodging policy discussion by using lowest common denominator prejudices as scapegoats.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ian Lavery is a former miner.

[Watchman]

That's Lee Anderson the scab

[Tubby Isaacs]

Lee here with "Take that, elite! Dominic Lawson likes me"

[satnav]

How much time did Anderson actually spend down the mine? It look like he is exactly the same age as me but school friends of mine who became miners had extremely short careers. They had just about finished their training when the miners strike started and after the strike they only managed two or three years in the mines before they closed. Anderson has probably spent more time in parliament than he did down a pit.
