Blue Drink Walk - An amble with Farage

[Captain Z]

Is there any chance this is for a UK series of Nathan For You?

[kenneth trousers]

Is that the entirety of the marchers? There must be 30 people there if that.

I'm going for 31 although one of them could be an on-looker.

[Buelligan]

Isle of Man...

Bit sexist.

[Uncle TechTip]

Isle of Man? So some percentage of this march are not even from the United Kingdom.

[Kalabi]

I like their tragic little hand drawn signs

I think these foreigners should stop trying to intervene in UK politics.

[Jittlebags]

Splitters.

I think the £50 includes all travel, accomodation and meals on the march - can't really check because you can't reg anymore as a "core marcher". Yes, they are getting bussed between walks but these daily marches are between ten and twenty miles. Unfit people will fucked by ten miles, but even if you're pretty active, twenty miles walk in a day is hell on your legs if you're not trained up. And then again the next day? You won't physically be able to do it. You end up with microtears in your thigh muscles and can barely stand.

By Donkeys has given up making fun of the marchers because it's just another case of millionaires Farage, Oakeshott, Hoey etc playing people for fools and actually harming them.

[Jittlebags]

How careless. The Brexit Party appear to have lost their leader. Not in a layby near Castleford, but for sending Islamophobic tweets from an account deleted shortly after the Brexit Party was formed.

[Jerzy Bondov]

I am very disgusted to see the once proud Brexit Party descend into a hotbed mire of revolting wrong islamaphobic abuse. It's a sad day for British politics

[jobotic]

Once again a proud patriot is sacrificed by Farage on the alter of political correctness. For shame.

[Spoon of Ploff]

So now there's been an extension are they going to have to go on a massive detour to make sure they don't arrive too early and have a premature betrayal?

[Jittlebags]

Apparently, Mr Fag Ash himself turned up today

[Jittlebags]

I imagine he is currently holed up in a Travelodge next to the industrial estate on the outskirts of Mansfield.

on taxpayer's dime

[Buelligan]

Thank you everyone up here ^ for making me laugh.  Thank you.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Apparently Tim Martin was on the walk yesterday

[Buelligan]

I hope they had a guide or maybe they use leads.

[Norton Canes]

Someone must be making a documentary about this, yeah? Filming it every day?

[SteveDave]

In total they are marching approximately 270 miles. They set out from Sunderland on 16 March and finish in Parliament Square in London on 29 March, the original date for the UK to leave the EU, which has now been delayed until at least 12 April.

I'd be interested to find out how many miles they actually walked.

[JesusAndYourBush]

What's the blue drink?  I didn't have Farage down as a Blue WKD man.

(Genuine question. I even googled and almost the only thing that comes up is this thread.)

[Captain Crunch]

It's from Athletico Mince when Bob Mortimer used to do skits about Sunderland.  This song sums it up quite well if you're new to it:

I'm partly tempted to meet the walkers as they bumble into Parliament Square tomorrow evening. Get in front of some TV cameras making various signs with my hands.
