Ear ear!

A member of The Independent's forum asks: "Why does the Indy glamorize the thug?" and another replies: "ear ear!"

What does that reply, "ear ear!", mean?

Thank you.

Hear, hear! expresses agreement with and support of something a speaker has just said. It is usually said when there is a group of listeners rather than just one.
eg in a context where someone is making a speech.
