“Dumb As A Box Of Hammers”: Everyone Is Roasting Mark Latham For Joining One Nation

Insufferable cockwomble Mark Latham has announced that he’s joining One Nation, and boy oh boy has the internet delivered.

The former Labor leader confirmed the news on Sydney radio this morning, telling 2GB’s Alan Jones that he will head One Nation in NSW. And when you think about it, it’s sort of a match made in heaven: One Nation has a great history of ditching its candidates, and Mark Latham has a great history of losing his job.

In announcing his candidacy, Latham railed against “political correctness” and bemoaned the discrimination faced by “Christians”, “white people” and “men and boys”.

Like I said, a match made in heaven.

Unsurprisingly, the news of a Pauline Hanson / Mark Latham crossover event inspired a strong reaction on social media — starting with former Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett, who called Latham a “sick, sad, sorry loser” and said he was either “unwell, a massive narcissist or dumb as a box of hammers (or all three)”.

Sick, sad, sorry loser. This will end badly as @RealMarkLatham is either unwell, a massive narcissist or dumb as a box of hammers (or all three) #auspol

Federal Labor MP Stephen Jones was similarly derisive, and said it was only a matter of time before Latham clashed with Hanson and quit.

Three things you can predict:

1️⃣ There will be a disagreement
2️⃣ There will be a public spat
3️⃣ Mark Latham will quit

He’s been quitting things since 2004. https://t.co/H9Eusp9RT7

And things only got more savage from there.

How long until Mark Latham quits One Nation?

Mark Latham has submitted his One Nation membership form as well as his preliminary resignation letter, as per standard One Nation policy.#auspol

Here’s an exclusive look Mark Latham’s One Nation policy platform:

– a voucher system to provide low income earners with dirty polos
– regulating that shorts sizes must start at XXL
– tax cuts for sleeping in a garden bed before the PM’s XI in Canberra two years ago
– racism

I cannot wait to see the abominable Facebook videos that will result from the Latham-Hanson union.

If current trends continue, by the end of the year Mark Latham will join the Labor party.
