Oh God, it’s a thing of beauty! and has had barely any media coverage, can’t think why...

Full twitter thread in all its triumphant glory

Saw on Facebook. Love it. Can recommend following Dr Rant also.

Mission because Ralf tweeted this after Jeremy’s Andrew Marr appearance.

Shared the shit out of that on FB. Absolute joy to read.

What is a smackdown? And, for that matter, what is a lockdown?
I know I haven't lived in the UK for a number of years, but I am finding the language increasingly difficult to understand.

It’s all just bollocks.
I hate how politicians lie about MH services.
It’s so unfair on the patients.

Similiar to ihatethecold but shorter
It's all bollocks
I hate that politicians lie
Its unfair

Smackdown: Lifting your opponent up and dropping them to the floor, where they helplessly writhe in the face of stronger opposition. (I think it’s a wrestling term).

Lockdown: All entries and exits barred to prevent/respond to an event.

Ralf Little = absolute bloody legend

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 17/11/2017 09:34

Fantastic but wouldn't it have been lovely to see that coming from Jon Ashworth's office?

hackmum · 17/11/2017 09:56

This is absolutely fabulous. Well done, Ralf. Wish we'd see more journalists doing this.

ToffeeUp · 17/11/2017 10:00

Well done Ralf, that is some response.

CaptainHammer · 17/11/2017 10:08

Ralf Little has always been brilliant

honeysucklejasmine · 17/11/2017 10:13

A smackdown is what The Rock would lay on your candy ass in the early 00s. 😂

I very much enjoyed the thread. I just can't understand how politicians get away with telling the most outrageous lies and the media doesn't challenge. Like the claims of record spending in education. And the spend over pupil? Way down. Lying bastards.

themorus · 17/11/2017 10:19

Amazing! Never have I had such contempt and disgust for a politician than I have for Hunt....

Capricorn76 · 17/11/2017 10:29

It's a shame we have to rely on actors to challenge lying politicians. Unfortunately the media have mainly given up on challenging statements unless it comes from Corbyn (when they can be bothered to give him any airtime) and then they're scrutinised to the nth degree. The BBC was recently criticised by a watchdog for allowing their 'journalist' to sit and nod whilst Nigel Lawson spouted the most outrageous bollocks about climate change.

I’m also feeling the love for Ralf 💕

And would pay good money to watch a real life unedited debate between him and Hunt.

NewMinouMinou · 17/11/2017 13:52

Hell to the yeah!
I had no idea he was a medical student!
He’s also a semi professional footballer...a real Renaissance man!

All the way through that Twitter thread, I had this running through my mind the scene from Two Pints where he shouts “Who. Is. The. Daddy?!” at Gaz!

sprockercrazy · 17/11/2017 14:00

Absolutely brilliant well done Ralf - sharing the hell out of this 👍
