It’s almost Pride month so enjoy one of the all-time great takedowns
Not long to go until Pride month and it reminded us of one of the all-time great takedowns you’ll ever see on Twitter.
It began when the deputy chief constable of South Wales Police shared an image of these two characters on Twitter.
And it prompted this response from a ‘community councillor’ called Graham who was concerned that their presence at the Pride event might suggest a lack of resources elsewhere.
Shouldn't they be out saving lives/catching criminals?

And the response from Wales Air Ambulance was A+++.
Hi Graham, this isn't our actual helicopter. Our 4 helicopters are currently on standby for absolutely everybody across Wales #PrideCymru

Boom!
Graham you're going to need an ambulance now to treat that savage burn.

I'm also upset some Police Officer is out on the street without a Blue Fluffy Helmet. I don't pay my taxes to go towards this!

Just when I thought I couldn't be any prouder to be Welsh

Graham, though, well Graham struggled to see the funny side.
No need to be such a patronising twit

quite a good takedown of your initial moronic point, to be fair

Or, if you prefer …
GRAHAM, YOU GOT CALLED OUT FOR BEING A FUCKING PRICK, MATE. GET IT UP YOU FOR FUCK SAKE.
