For those alleged Labour supporters who have been trying to get ex-Labour voters in this story cancelled, shame on you. Why not try to understand why Leigh went Tory and what it will take to win these folk back instead of piling on? https://t.co/Md7vsqUuQv— Helen Pidd (@helenpidd) July 9, 2020
Trying to get a story cancelled is it?

according to the article what it will take to win ex-Labour voters back:- Leigh be more than 97% white- lack of imagination

You can be working class and run a restaurant - or indeed be a property developer. Ask Andrew Twentyman how much money he makes from the Pizzeria: minimum wage. The Guardian interviews UC claimants all the time - I'm sure I will do so in Leigh before long too.— Helen Pidd (@helenpidd) July 9, 2020

lol! It reminds me of all the times I've dealt with small business owners who live in 6 bedroom houses and go on countless holidays and say to me: do you know how much money I've earned this tax year so far eh? 200 quid. Without mentioning all the hundreds of thousands they are due from all the big companies that will pay up later when work is signed off.

although by her definition he is working class, because in her shit-eating piece it just really signifies "white"

I'm guessing he has a Northern accent, that's usually proof enough for UK media types.

The other guy in that article signs it off by basically going “ah well all those dead people eh? That’s 44000 pensions the government doesn’t have to pay for.”

idk if that is so bad, replace the chicken with decent mushrooms and throw the pineapple in the bin and you'll have something serviceable

it just means that one of his ancestors in medieval times was twenty men

Sorry but pineapple and sriracha is horrific.

british people and their pizza, Jesus fucking christ.
chicken has to be the first to go and should never be on a pizza

Chicken is theoretically fine but I don't eat it any more and anyway good mushrooms create a similar effect but so much better

I'm a bit of a melt when it comes to pizzas, not discerning at all and love the Mexicano they do at the pretty dodgy joint across from the bus station that proudly display their 4 hygiene stars on the door and has a broken tv playing mysterious pop videos with no sound. Miss that place quite badly.

I will eat any old toss when it comes to pizzas but no going to some bougie tory artisan pizza joint and ordering chicken and fucking pineapple

Oh God no mine was chicken garlic and mushroom takeout cos too fucked to cook, can't imagine ordering chicken on a pizza anywhere good

Having been out for pizzas with Italians several times they seem a bit less hung up on all this stuff than we are.
― The Fields o' Fat Henry (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 July 2020 22:15 (three years ago) link
there was a good program on pizzas on the radio a few years back that covered its origins as dirty af cheap street-food for scratters to the postwar foodie snobbery towards the first pizza restaurants, can't remember who did it but it was decent.
― calzino, Thursday, 9 July 2020 22:19 (three years ago) link
Anyone who has seen a pizza Viennese will be disabused of the notion that Italians, outside of Naples, perhaps, are purists about these things.

There is a very good scene in a film by De Sica showing pizza sold as street food. Remember thinking how nice it was not to fuss over fucking pizza (even if I have strong opinions on it like everyone else).

This is a tweet putting a few of those insta posts together. The Corbyn revolution would have liquidated that guy, no wonder he is still raging about him. He knows how close to a bad end he was.
ok so all of these look and sound legitimately disgusting but because it passes the “would this annoy an italian?” test unfortunately i have to approve of twentymans pizzas pic.twitter.com/DEnJPOKbkY— jonathan nunn (@demarionunn) July 9, 2020

I mean this is the thread to share them, alphie.My only die-on-this-hill pizza opinion is you have to eat it with your hands.

What is the most working class of these pizzas, is the question? I am going for chipolatas

Funny you should say that but one of the Italians I've often had pizza with is from Trieste and she sometimes gets her leg pulled about being an Austrian really - she is though the most Italian Italian I've ever met.
