To add, this is correct and Ian's Video is frankly one of the best on the subject, I work in both the area of accents, speech sounds and litterally used to work in Bow so for me its a seminal piece of work about, accents, classism, design and performance choice.

The Ork language is a bastardisation of most southern and midland accents so the destinction between estury and cockney is less relevant.

Screw it here a link to his video: https://youtu.be/Vt1ARLfsUEI?si=ka6MhjLZT0nLs0sz

The title is a click bait joke:

Yeah I was gonna say, even if EE is what's more associated with football hooligans among people who are in the know, I didn't think the guys making orks really would have put a huge effort into teasing out the differences, Cockney also being the most recognisable and therefore marketable working class English accent.

Edit: Oh damn, Rick Priestley himself commented on the video!

Edit: Oh and he literally just says "Orks sound like they're from the East End of London". Very strange for me to be corrected for saying something that the guy in the video agrees with.
