So 10 years after brexit their will be chaos, rampant racism etc etc etc, that's quite an original outlook, who new meades had it in him for a refreshing outlook, no one else could come up with that.

Sony Walkman Prophecies

Ohh, it's the sound of the establishment tickling each other and running away, dissing each other in Latin, leaving missives in each other's pigeonholes in intractable French argot. Can we get someone really smug and middleclass like Adam Curtis to join in and claim he's not posh and has actually identified as a Bristolian rapper for a good 10 years now? Maybe we can dig up AA Gill and get him to say nice things about multiculturalism from his home in the vibrant multicultural hub of Parsons Green, again.

Wrong. He would have slavishly gormandized one's mannish pudenda.

Followed by arse gag told with Brummy accent.

I'm so glad this article is annoying people. Love Meades, the thinking man's Will Self.

Far too drunk to actually read any of this bollocks but I expect it's largely sound. AMIRIGHT

It's a very wordy way of saying not very much.

Twit 2

It's a piece of humour that will make po-faced gammons have a shit fit.

Love his 'World of Norm' series.

Somebody somewhere in posh media land is doubting that brexit will have a successful outcome. Why I oughta...
Shakes gammon flavoured fist at liberals.

This is happening up and down the country as building sites draw to a halt for morning break, and out come the copies of the Guardian for the lads to get their teeth into.

Yeh but I've calmed down now.

What's that? Breaks over already?

But I was just about to read what Polly Toynbee reckons about all the racisms.

You appear to have reacted seriously to a humorous piece of writing. Bless. Who new ?

It may be a humorous piece but it'll make the gammonz SHIT BRICKS!!!

I know you're not a 'gammon' but I'd say it's exercised you somewhat. And take a look at the BTL comments for that piece, plenty of people jumping up and down, the same set who get outraged at Stewart Lee's similarly-worded windups.

I've not even read it. I was just amused by the idea of 'gammons' up and down the country being turned into, I dunno, tomatoes? because of a fairly obscure piece in a supposedly left wing broadsheet.
The Guardian is shit, basically, and like all print media it vastly overestimates its influence.

Twit 2

Yes, the Guardian is utter shit, but it has the occasional interesting writer. As I said, the Meades piece most closely resembles the ones that Lee writes, and it seems to have caused the same reaction. Of course, not 'up and down the land' but among the sort of centrists/right wingers who seem to make up most of the Graun's online readership.

I used to love the man, but the brutalism film soured me on him considerably.

Unfortunately not the kind that actually provokes laughter and/or merriment.

Those stupid old builders probably can't even read. God I hate the working class, don't you?

Not 'hate' so much as doubt they all read the Guardian. Subtle difference, admittedly.

oh no, I've been told I have the wrong opinion on the matter, how will I live this down

Shoulders?-Stomach!

So a bit like Lee and David Mitchell, Meades is better served presenting TV pieces, rather than writing columns!

I loved that documentary on brutalism. If you were a fan of his surely it wouldn't have had such an impact to turn you against him. What was it that you disliked so much?
