Reform UK’s Lee Anderson posted a video of himself patting his bacon sandwich – 14 people happy to make him the butty of the joke

Let’s check in on Lee Anderson, shall we?

Last time we covered the Reform UK MP, he was being ripped a new one for recording St Valentine’s Day messages on Cameo from Westminster.

Well, on Thursday, Lee posted a short video on Twitter of a bacon sandwich, including him patting it like a dog (or a pig). He accompanied it with the caption: “Love My Thursday Mornings. Always have one of these. A Great British tradition.”

People on Twitter had quite a lot to say about the clip, from its dogwhistle messaging to the general strangeness of it all.

I approve of your diet: white bread, lots of butter, and fried processed meat; I encourage you to eat food like this as much as possible.

Besides the childish dog whistle here….what kind of fucking psycho cuts their sandwich like that?

P.s. Muslims don’t give a shit that you eat bacon, Lee. You’re just making a prick out of yourself, again.
