What a weird clip! If only they had run sound.Wish Pathe news would contextualize this. Ah well a window into the past.

Poor sods... There but for the grace of God go I.

it makes my skin creep watching this clip, i can only imagine what a sad,horrific and pathetic death they both suffered 😔 human tragedy at its worst, you can walk down many city centre streets today and see similar scenes with cheap Cider and super strength beers killing todays underclass slowly but surely.

@JOHNNY GWAPO Yep, the makers need to be held accountable, those two probably fought in the war as well, maybe even why they are like that

[@georginaohara42]

Why do I get the distinct impression if we could hear them, they’d be Scottish LOL

[@oldgarsonn]

These two are probably actors
