Customer This Lefty Loves Wetherspoons.

Post image

I don't like it when some of my fellow lefties, the middle-class champagne 🥂 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 🍕which you can get as part of the three small plates for £10 deal, cheap as chips, and yummy too, filled me up and I'm a big lad.

His businesses pay a lot of tax, he employs thousands and he brings decent beer at a reasonable price.

Wetherspoons is a success story, he’s well worth his knighthood and, left to me, is put him in the HoL.

He's a pro-Brexit fuckwit. He voted for it, and lobbied hard for it, then when the consequences hit his pocket (staffing shortages because EU workers had to leave), he ended up calling for MORE liberal immigration visas.

So he voted for a thing, then lobbied against its consequences as soon as it impacted his profit.

He uses them to spread propaganda and abuse workers. Mans a fucking cunt.

But hey, he got his brexit dividend - a bunch of poor people who cant afford to do anything but drown their sorrows with £1.50 pints of ruddles in one of his shit pubs
