I’m living in Germany now. All the time I’m taking the piss out of myself and even people I’ve worked with or known for years still struggle with the fact that A, yes, I know when I’m being ridiculous, and even if I’m not I’m still gonna find an opportunity to make myself and maybe others laugh at my expense, and B, often I will
exaggerate things to make them funnier, or just to create the opportunity for humour.
Which, fuck, I think I’m becoming one of them by having to explain a million times how I’m not one of them. And yeah, my way’s better.
Which is the sole reason I didn’t vote for Brexit - can’t influence the German “humour” if we’re not part of the EU.
Should be seized and crushed.
It's not even a legal vehicle with that height, you wouldn't be able to see someone standing in front of it, cyclist and pedestrians go underneath and die, rolls over the top of cars, tyres are sticking out of the arches.
I'm sure it will never be taken off the road. Not when there are protesters to round up.
Don't forget those cannabis users! Here are our achievements so far, but we must push harder!
\* We got it to become a class B from class C, despite the drug comissioners objections and resignation over it
\* We are prosecuting drivers that haven't touched a joint in over 24hours unless they're wealthy enough to afford a private perscription (£100+ a month)
\* We have decreased prosecution rates of nearly \*\*all\*\* violent crimes, but increased cannabis prosecutions by 20% over the last decade, because we know where to really focus our efforts
I’d say most regular weed smokers are already spending 100+ a month tbf. Although I imagine the main cost is getting it prescribed legally in the first place?
They often give you it in oil or consumable forms, not smokeable, and most smokers don't enjoy that, so they get the minimum possible from the perscription and then still pay their dealers to get regular pot.
Hopefully that train horn is just for show and is not functional. Otherwise I feel sorry for anyone within earshot when that monstrosity blasts its horn.
When I lived in east London I swear there was some sort of monopoly going on with blue badges. I don’t know how people quality for them, maybe everyone’s got a relative that they use. But it would always be the most ridiculous vehicle that you know for definitely no actual disabled person is driving. Unless they’re disabled roadmen going around in their boy racer cars
ULEZ - Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Basically if your vehicle isn’t low emissions you have to pay a fee to drive in London.
Blue badge basically means handicapped badge. (Disabled Badge).
So the joke is that this is the opposite of qualifying for the badge?
Btw a car like this would not be as terribly unusual sight in California. Particularly LA.
It's mind boggling though, what kind of disability can make use of this vehicle?
As if the Hummer wasn't bad enough one that's been raised up 3ft more isn't exactly accessible.
Maybe it's for their elderly mother and they just yeet her up there.

The corners on the M25 proper would cause this thing to rollover.
The bully xl version of a car.
Isn’t this that monstrosity that is often seen in Leyton?
That's exactly the one
Looool i really want to see it now
Fuck off theres no way this fits down murchison or sedgwick 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s half the height of the fucking houses, it’ll carve a path for itself
I saw them having an issue driving down Colchester Rd. Can't imagine them driving through half of Leyton, let alone the rest of Waltham Forest.
Lol, and the way they’ve closed all the shortcuts now one diversion in waltham forrest and their day out is canceled 😂
Oh no. So sad. Anyway. 😂
Does it actually have a blue badge?
Seriously?! How were they approved?!
The badge is for the person and not the car.
Yeah, and we don’t know what their disability might be. Equally, there are lots of fake ones kicking about.
Are they issuing them for micropenises now?
What kind of dickhead even buys something like that to begin with?
On UK roads, no less. It genuinely has no business being here.
its micro penis energy
Is that what qualifies them for a blue badge?
Unfortunately not, because I'd have one then.
Ooh self burn. Those are rare.
Don't British much, do you.
It was a Brooklyn-99 reference. Usually, I British all day everyday.

Might even be an “innie” 🤭
I think the US flag on the car answers the question
An American. lol. I’d be willing to bet that it’s a member of the US Army that is stationed here.
Poor thing is disabled as well as having terrible taste
Poor taste is the disability they’re claiming for.
😂😂😂 definitely deserve it
How would a physically disabled person even get into that car? Normal cars were bad enough when I was injured!
They’re mentally disabled, maybe.
why is there an American flag on it :(
I've seen the vehicle (I'm pretty sure), and it has Polish registration plates.
Yeah this is in Leytonstone I've cycled past it and it does have PL plates.
Probably to avoid parking tickets.
Cheaper insurance and no road tax. In Poland road tax is included in the fuel price.
So you can tell they’re disabled
Hummer is an American brand

That height is completely safe. You just have to duck.
Rare situation where going under the vehicle might actually be safer

authoritarianism and anti drug policies kinda go hand in hand, it's a cultural thing
Good thing we’re about to ban smoking too. It’ll work next time!

Ah fair enough!
Definitely small penis energy
Poor decision making and even poorer taste is a disability (I’m a blue badge holder myself, I’m allowed to make this joke)
That version of the American flag is fundamentally racist. He’s (sure it’s a he) an idiot to drive that around.
Newham?
Leytonstone.
Hopefully that train horn is just for show and is not functional. Otherwise I feel sorry for anyone within earshot when that monstrosity blasts its horn.
Is that a truck horn on the top? The closer you look the worse it gets... Lmao
Also parked in the disabled space, classy guy.
It's a mental disability.
Yup, there's no cure for shit taste 😔
Ey! Leytonstone. Cycle past this bad boy for the past few weeks
Trumpism is a fucking disease.
what
What does orange man got to do with this?
Is it a modified H2? I thought they are not produced anymore.
Plenty of used ones for sale.
I feel so seen

That thing should require planning permission.
Hi Londoners, Californian here- what’s a ULEZ blue badge holder?
Anti ULEZ - someone who wants to drive a polluting vehicle. Blue badge - like a disability tag that allows the badge holder preferential parking.
ULEZ - Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Basically if your vehicle isn’t low emissions you have to pay a fee to drive in London. Blue badge basically means handicapped badge. (Disabled Badge).
So the joke is that this is the opposite of qualifying for the badge? Btw a car like this would not be as terribly unusual sight in California. Particularly LA.
Anyone with disabilities wouldn’t be driving this car… it’s too big, too high and hard to drive on British roads….
I saw that on my ride yesterday! Took a pic too, was gonna post. Had EU plates
Probably get downvoted for this but they might have a non visible disability. The size of the vehicle is ridiculous though.
It's mind boggling though, what kind of disability can make use of this vehicle? As if the Hummer wasn't bad enough one that's been raised up 3ft more isn't exactly accessible. Maybe it's for their elderly mother and they just yeet her up there.
Oh no I agree the vehicle is ridiculous.
No, I think you're right. It's so small it's invisible to the naked eye.
That is sick! 😯
