The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool


‘Hello sailor!’

‘Oooooooo…get ‘er!’

There’s a long and honourable tradition of claiming that historical figures belong to some fashionable minority. Cleopatra was black, Florence Nightingdale was a tuppence licker, Hitler only had one ball… you know the sort of thing I mean.

Now there’s the case of Admiral Lord Nelson, who was mortally wounded as the Royal Navy blew the arses off the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. As Nelson lay dying aboard HMS Victory, he is reputed to have said to his said to his friend Captain Thomas Hardy ‘kiss me Hardy’.

Based on this, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool has branded our boy Horatio as ‘queer’, and has placed two paintings of his death in an exhibition entitled ‘On the History of LGBTQ and Love’. Apparently the museum’s curators have stated that ‘historians have long speculated about the exact nature of the relationship’ between Nelson and Hardy, and that their friendship and bond could represent ‘the sometimes hidden queer history of life at sea’. Sounds as though life at sea could have had its, shall we say, gay side back in those days; all ‘rum, bum and concertina’, as George Melly put it in his autobiography.

Now as we know, Nelson was married to Frances Nelson, but was also getting plenty on the side from Lady Emma Hamilton, who bore the saucy sailor a child. Nevertheless, those vital three words reputedly spoken by Nelson as his life ebbed away must surely be taken as conclusive evidence that he did, in fact, secretly bat for the other side.

I don’t know about anybody else, but I for one think that we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Walker Gallery for bringing a new and fascinating insight into the life of one of our greatest national figures.

Who and what next I wonder? ‘Margaret Thatcher was a man!’ claims controversial historian…

  1. I wouldn’t mind this shite so much if they’d just asked an historian what Nelson actually said, which was
    “Kismet, Hardy”.

    Still, why spoil a good story with the truth?

    I cannot abide people who misquote famous words.

  2. They’re way off.
    He actually said “bum me, Hardy.”
    To raise a nautically-themed smile on a Sunday morning, imagine Kier Starmer strapped to the end of a cannon on the Golden Hinde and blown to smithereens.

    • I would have preferred Kweer to be under the command of Captain Bligh. He would have known what to do with the little poofter. Tie him to the highest yard arm in the British Navy and “administer the punishment”. Thirty lashes as a warning.

    • Thomas, A good broadside was the stuff of English maritime action. Can we not have the entire cabinet strapped to cannons?
      A phone that costs £5 could be used as well to cover the costs of black powder and fuses. You get to choose who gets fired first.
      Bets would be encouraged to also raise another revenue stream. I commend it to the house.

  3. These scousers have assumed that Nelson was bent. There was no evidence to support their notion that he liked to stroll the Cadbury Alley.

    It’s all about their overwhelming need to mainstream bumbanditting.

  4. These sc0users have assumed that Nelson was a bender. There was no evidence to support their notion that he liked to stroll the Cadbury Alley.

    It’s all about their overwhelming need to mainstream bumband1tting.

  5. If your on the deck, bleeding out, the reaper inches away..
    Last thing you wants a snog.

    Its bollocks.
    Although Horatio is a puffs name.

  6. It’s a pity about this pathetic shambles. The Walker is a great art gallery, both in its architecture and the collections in its possession.

    Just put the stuff on display and leave the politics and Woke shite alone.

    O / T I see the police dragnet has failed to apprehend the misreleasead illegal Foreign Johnny.

    The wandering sex pest has reached Hackney, despite the hundreds, if not thousands of CCTV cameras he’s walked past. 🙄

    If it was Tommy Robinson he’d have been picked up PDQ.

    He’ll find sanctuary there, that’s for sure.

    It seems he was given seventy odd quid of taxpayers cash by the goofballs at HMP Chelmsford, before they sent him on his merry way.

    No wonder this country is a laughing stock.

    Good morning 👍

    • Remember the policeman who arrested the little perv put his arm round the crying ape and said “don’t worry – everything will be alright”. I wonder if he was released accidently on purpose.

    • Mornin Jack. Yes the Walker has some good pictures and both the building and stting is good. Let folk just look and “know what they like” without being put right about their prole. Views? Can’t have that old chap.
      Amazed that msm has not picked up on the fact that ” well they all look the same…..”

  7. Nelson was from Norfolk.
    Okay, so he lost his right eye and his right arm in battle, but at least he made up for it with two extra fingers on his left hand.

  8. Scouse museum?!!

    Hahaha.
    Im almost tempted.

    All stolen goods naturally.

    Bill Shanklys tracky bottoms
    Kenny Dalglishs car wheels
    Kevin keegans home perm kit

  9. Ps
    I once got in a lift with a scouse accent.

    I was fascinated.
    “doors closin,
    Turd floor”
    Dunno who thought that was a good idea

    • It’sthe adopting of American (mis)pronunciation that irritates me Mis. Most people seem to have lost kilometre years ago but the one I’ve noticed coming in recently is shopping maul. I’ve even heard someone say Pall Maul!

      Grrr!

  10. Before serving with Lord Nelson, Sir Thomas Hardy was first lieutenant to a Captain George Cockburn on the HMS Minerve.

    Well, that’s proof enough for me.

  11. Im quite the renaissance man.
    And spend a lot of my time in Art galleries.

    Staring at some modern art installation
    Slowly scratching my balls and eating a porkpie.
    Ive critiqued many a famous work.
    From pablo picarsholes impressionist work to Salvador Dalis surrealism.

    Fuckin rubbish.

    Take a permanent marker pen with you.
    Add a few moustaches and glasses.
    Art is a participation sport.

    • I like some of Dali’s work – ‘Telephone grilled sardines in September,’ and ‘Mannequin rotting in a taxi cab’ – she looks like Angela Rayner and of course the one dedicated to Keir Starmer – ‘The Great Masturbator’.

      • Some great stuff there Mr B.

        Personally my favourite of his is the totally black canvas entitled ‘Black Cunt In a Coal Cellar’, which the great man’s estate has recently dedicated to David Lammy.

  12. Knowing that his portrait was going to be at the Walker’s, he said “Crisps be it Hardy”, due to discussing it earlier what to call the snack they’d invented.

  13. WC
    Im a staunch Pre-Raphaelite bloke and refuse to entertain such frippery as melting clocks and the like.
    Salvador Dali needed a two things.
    1. A good hiding
    2. A straight jacket.
    The spanish cunt.

      • Morning LL/all.
        An admirer of the italian renaissance paintings, I actually painted one of my love dungeon guests in the classic Pre-Raphaelite style.
        It didn’t take too long either, after she’d been surgically divested of her limbs.
        It was called ‘trunk with spunk’.
        Actually, she looked more like a horrifying dystopian Zdzisław Beksiński nighmare!

      • LL@
        What a marvelous idea.
        Id love that!
        The Last Supper
        But theyre tucking into roast beef, mash, Yorkshire pudding etc.
        Judas brings the dessert,
        Black forest gateau,
        JC ” oh that looks delicious!
        You shouldn’t have gone to all that expense Judy”

        Judas ” my pleasure.
        I recently came into a bit of money..

  14. “Kiss me, Hardy” is just a placeholder for these never-satisfied warped cunts if you ask me.

    See how it goes. Let the busy people get briefly upset, be ignored, let it die down.

    Then re-interpret the re-interpretation.

    By the time YOU’RE uttering your last words, it’ll be ‘canon’ that Nelson went out with ….

    “oooh! Jizz me, hard-boy”.

    • Also ; will they petition to have his cause of death altered as well, to be more ‘authentic’ to their passions? ..

      Lord Nelson. Mortally wounded in battle ; died of HIV related complications.

  15. The odd thing about protected minorities is that they break free of the ‘oppression, get all the rights etc they say they’ve been denied and then insist on behaviour that might to the more cynical suggest the roots of their oppression.

    • @ADMIN – Thanks for removing the duplicates, I couldn’t work out what word(s) were triggering the woke filter. I didn`t look at the link which I guess was causing it with `quēēr`.

    • I once heard someone say that he thought another man was gay. The man he was speaking to replied;

      “Yeah? Well I’m quite happy myself.”

      They seem unable to cope with the correct term. I like the word “deviant”, technically correct so no comeback.

      • ‘Wired arseways’ is my most polite descriptor. And – bar stupid cunts – hard to argue with.

        I liked Dylan Moran’s list of euphanisms ; especially …

        ‘Chases reindeer through the forest on a pogo stick come Autumn’

        &

        ‘Likes his toast done on all 3 sides’

      • Should go in hard and call them for what they are homosexual. The women have to put up with lesbian.

  16. What a load of bollocks

    What he said was ‘kismet Hardy’ to mean it was his fate or destiny to die, but with the noise of battle was misheard

  17. Nelson was probably the greatest naval tactician of all time.
    And English.
    Stands to reason theyd want to slander him as a knob jockey.

    All British heroes are being recast as villains or arse bandits.

    One arm, one eye, possible puddle skipper,
    Not the luckiest of lads?
    Bit accident prone maybe?
    The Frank Spencer of the High Seas.

    • Morning MNC…it’ll probably be my moustache hero Lord Kitchener next on the homo chopping block…they’ll change his name to Lord Cottager and with that colossal moustache, his reputation’ll be in tatters, much like ϟϟtarmer’s bumhole.

      • Morning Thomas.
        Yeah,
        That classic poster,
        ‘ your country needs YOU”
        With him pointing right in your face.
        Classical.
        Although id of completely ignore it.
        Some bloke in a captain’s hat and massive tash?!!!
        Needs my tender little virginal sphincter maybe.
        No,
        To of lured me in a poster of a meat & potato pie steaming with the phrase
        ‘ Free pie for all new recruits!! ”
        Id of signed up and been breathing mustard gas within a week.

  18. Popular quiz trick question. Over which eye did Nelson wear an eye patch?

    Answer; neither, he never wore a patch.

    You can learn something new every day on IsAC.

    Morning all.

    • ‘You can learn something new every day on IsAC’

      Well, maybe not every day, but occasionally … zum beispiel whilst checking the potential authenticity of MNC’s 8:38 mirth making on this topic, I have learned the phrase ‘angel lust’ … and the fact if a gentleman is killed in traumatic circumstances … he gets a boner on!

      Even muchly useless google a.i. is confirming this, partly at least.

      Hanging? .. Boner.
      Car crash? .. Boner.
      Electrocution? .. Mad boner.
      Frying Pan to the back of the head? .. Semi
      “Butt-fisted to death at an after club gathering by the pool
      on the property of a well-known light-entertainment ‘legend’?” …

      And suddenly the A.I. is all coy …

      Still though. The thought of Saddam there, hanging from the rafters & sporting a diamond cutter is taking some of the good out of the memory of that day for me.

    • We’re getting OT Ron but another quiz question I like is; If you travel due south from central Detroit (what the Americans call “downtown”) what’s the first foreign country at which you arrive?

      Hint; Canada.

  19. The póófs will soon ditch their new found love for Nelson.

    That’s assuming that they can read a history book and find out that the great Admiral was totally against the ending of the slave trade.

  20. This is what they think Nelson did:

    They think he licked the bumholes of fellow sailors in an attempt to lubricate them with his spit. They think Nelson inserted his fist into other sailors’ rectums.

    They then think that Nelson rammed his pen1s into other sailors’ bumholes, used them to masturbate, ejaculated inside them and then sucked out semen mixed with poo and mucus.

    The people who believe this also believe that this practice constitutes ‘lovemaking’ and they call this practice ‘love.’

  21. So what, Nelson Mandela used to rim baboons arsehole’s for peanuts.
    Rosa Park used to blow the bus driver for a seat at the front.

    See we can all make shit up.
    Though Barry o’bummer does take it up the arse from big Mike.

    • Old Nelson (in OTT screaming high pitched Francis Bigger voice) MAN – DEY – LAAAAH married that thing Winnie.

      Surely to God, that was pure bestiality?

      Went right off the Specials when they did that ‘Freeeee Nelson Mandela’ crap. Jerry Dammers, the toothless ANC loving cunt.

      Thank young Mr Hall didn’t take part in it. RIP Terry.
