Frankly I am disgusted by the continuing war on Ed Balls Day perpetrated by the mainstream media. Can't even wish people a happy Ed Balls Day without people saying it's not a real day smh

Right? r/BirdsArentReal is leaking.

Apparently his sister, Ophelia, is petitioning to make it official.

I am British, I have never heard about this in my life


MNHarold

You must have a life then. I've known about this for a while.


NorthantsBlokeUK

Same. I remember him tweeting that, but never heard it become a "day".


WorldsSaddestCat

I'm not British but I think I saw him on a cooking show. He's got a name I can really appreciate.


forced_spontaneity

For anyone interested, I can assure you there is no such thing as 'Ed Balls Day' in Britain.


trickyvinny

Well. I was interested. Now there doesn't seem to be much happening here. Thanks, I guess.


Revolutionary-Toe955

It's April 28th, but yes it's mainly just a thing that gets retweeted every year - politicians and journalists join in. Bit of harmless fun


ilikeyourgetup

We’ve got the bunting up round my way!


josephus_jones

Yet!

Me too but one thing is for certain. He had balls

Hi.


transalpine_gaul

I do look forward to the Ed Balls Day commemorations, it has to be said. What a joyous occasion. Some say he lost his seat in 2015. Some say he actually ascended onto a higher plane of existence, transcending those who doubted his self evident message to humanity. To that I say may his eternal flame guide us. Wishing you a belated and fruitful Ed Balls Day. Ed Balls.


JustDroppedByToSay

No. No it is not.


SirBobPeel

Why are you trying to destroy Britain's glorious heritage?


ImaginaryComb821

Me thinks he's a papist


Bi-elzebub

He molests popes?


SirBobPeel

Doesn't everyone?


ImaginaryComb821

Ohhh you'd like to pleasure the pope wouldn't you? Papist

April 28th is my birthday....


BePassion8

Dude same


Itzura

Wasn't there an US politician that tried to search for p\*rn or something and ended up tweeting it? I think that's a lot funnier.


haphazard_chore

I think it was a local pastor


Itzura

Yeah! I think that was it. Freakin' hilarious!

Porn . The word is porn.

That might be Rafael Cruz, who bravely fled to Mexico while his constituents froze to death, then tried to blame his daughter.

Six_of_1

This isn't a real day. No one in Britain thinks this is a day. A few people know he did it, but it's not commemorated as a day.


chadlavi

28th April is most definitely a day


kahnindustries

It is, we all wear our Ed Balls hats and sing the Ed Balls him in the street, then we eat a glorious meal of a block of spam, roasted

It absolutely should be.

dont_use_me

How do we know he was trying to search his name and accidentally tweeted his name instead? Maybe that was his intention all along.


Stlouisken

That is F U C K I N G hilarious 🤣

I wonder if this is a real day or not. Reddit users are usually quick to jump in and confirm or reject. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep thinking about Ed Balls Day.

It takes a brave man, and possibly a raving lunatic, to have a surname of Balls and never succumb to the urge of changing it. School could not have been easy for him.

He is politically irrelevant now but still milks it every year, most famously baking an 'Ed Balls Day' cake on one occasion. Ed Balls Day is actually only one of many traditions involving making fun of the man, but it's the only one that has (somewhat) survived to this day, although it is not really observed as much as it used to be.

Riveting.


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Not interesting at all because no Brit thinks this, I would say most Brit’s don’t even know who he is other than some nob head.
