Sometimes propaganda crosses the line into a parody of itself.
This is the darkly funny moment an MP from Putin‘s ruling party tells the UK to ‘clear off and eat porridge’ before accusing Britain of stealing fish and chips from Russia.
Andrey Isayev, 50, also told Brits to ‘pray for your moss-covered Queen’ in the bizarre tirade on main TV channel Russia 1 on Friday.
All you can do when faced with such idiocy is sit back and laugh. Clearly this man has had a nerve touched, such that he is descending into playground insults.
Water, meet the duck’s back. Meanwhile, Isayev might want to moderate the vodka intake.
Does he mean that Russians invented fish and chips and that we stole the idea? Or is he complaining that the Russians currently don’t have any because we are eating them all. I do eat porridge, I have my own special low carb recipe and it’s really tasty.
I’m not sure he even knows himself.
