Potato Count: 2 small potatoes

Can you explain what this means?

It's from a 'bit' by a popular leftist comedian Stewart Lee. It's as unfunny as it sounds.

Another good thing Thatcher did was clean up football. Before the Football Spectators Act of 1989, the games were full off violent fans(all men, of course), with fights between fans, rioting and deaths not uncommon. Racism towards black players was a hallmark as well.

I don't know if it still exist but the stereotype of an "English football hooligan" hasn't really existed since the 80s thanks to Thatcher. Going to football in England is now safe and anyone can do it. The pleasant and inclusive atmosphere is probably partly why the Premier League is so successful and enjoying record attendance numbers.
