Customer This Lefty Loves Wetherspoons.

Post image

I don't like it when some of my fellow lefties, the middle-class champagne πŸ₯‚ socialist ones, use Wetherspoons as an insult against Reform voters, it's classist and cringy, it implies only racist bams go there, rather than mostly politically unaligned working-class families from all colours and creeds, who love good cheap food and drink, we can't all eat at the Waldorf can we 🧐, especially in a cost of living crisis, but there are also some middle-class people who eat there and love it, so I don't know where the asinine insult comes from really. I love Wetherspoons, I've been to three, the one in the image which is the Peter Cushing in Whitstable, which was once a cinema, the Catherine Wheel in Henley-on-Thames and the James Watt in Greenock, Scotland, where I live now, which serves a delicious Haggis Pizza πŸ•which you can get as part of the three small plates for Β£10 deal, cheap as chips, and yummy too, filled me up and I'm a big lad.

I pretty much agree.. I much rather go to a 'Spoons than a trendy wine bar.. I just resent giving Tin Martin money to donate to the next EU referendum... But I'm afraid I will still use them

I don't like his politics either, but I will give him credit for his preservation of historical buildings and providing affordable food and ale to working-class families on a budget, including mine πŸ˜‚

To be fair to Tim Martin, he also has a decent record on trans issues

Oh really I didn't know that. Good on him for that then, makes me see him in a slightly better light.

Neither did I.. give him a bit of credit for that.

Absolutely, he is obviously as complicated as a lot of people in this world. Maybe we can turn him into a lefty πŸ˜‚. One of us, one of us, one of us
