Helpful chap at the back is holding a policeman’s helmet.
I love how he’s the only one that looks uncomfortable, really adds to the surrealness of the scene.
He’d love to pose for the camera but now he is holding the police helmet he is worrying that the next copper along would assume he was taking the piss and clobber him. It’s a complex mask of conflicting impulses.
That’s the local “Bobby Lives Matter” representative
Nobody has a pint or a kebab. Must be fake.
And only one of them has a fag? Clearly fake.
As an American I don’t understand what’s happening here. They are clearly some kind of police force but I don’t see any military hardware, there’s no blood, there’s no guns anywhere, and the people near the police are still not beaten up and arrested.
Those must be the most stoic brave superheros that manage to survive despite all the danger!
:P

Someone with greater artistic talent than me should apply whatever filters or wotnot to make it look in the style of the Dutch Golden Age paintings: Rembrandt or Vermeer or one of those lads.
There’s a tonne of culture right there.
Many states in the US have laws that you cannot get that close to police without being arrested yourself. Louisiana’s passed just last week. Arizona tried to ban filming them a year or two ago. Just thought the dude with the US flag jacket should know!
The law in Louisiana was not about getting this close. That law was about getting close enough for your camera to work.
Clarifying: the Louisiana law is literally you must stay 25 feet away when told and says nothing about recording. The (old) Supreme Court told Arizona that it’s against the Constitution to have laws against filming.
The wink wink of it is likely so people can’t easily film, but it isn’t what the law says
We’ve got loads of culture, it’s just that the rest of the world has appropriated it and no longer recognises it as ours.
E.g. the suit. George Bryan “Beau” Brummell is responsible for that (he died ‘shabby and insane’ in France, perfectly British). It could easily have gone a different way and we’d all be wearing lederhosen to work, weddings, and funerals, but there you go.

I think you’re forgetting a little bit of history
I’m waiting for our tradition of milkshaking fascists to catch on.
It’s better than throwing a shoe
Wot’s all this, then?
I think professor elemental summed it up better than I could.
He does sum up everything British so well - I often go back to Fighting Trousers.
it’s such a great diss track. he’s so much better than Mr B
Holy shit, that was amazing!
A fight broke out after the 29th tie in rock paper scissors.
I’m betting Newcastle train station on a Sunday morning
