Nigel Farage accused Andy Murray of being ‘filled with prejudice’ and his comeback was smashing

You may well have seen by now Andy Murray’s faultless takedown of Nigel Farage after the Brexiter-in-Chief hitched himself aboard the Novak Djokovic bandwagon.

Here’s what Farage had to say about the tennis star who has won his appeal against deportation from Australia but may still have his visa withdrawn.

If they can do this to the world's No 1 tennis player, just think what they could do to you. https://t.co/VrqgsKub68

Farage even flew to the Djokovic home in Belgrade to make his point. Of course he did.

And Murray’s takedown was of the straight sets variety.

Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉 https://t.co/rfFn1hdXlu

Now Farage has bitten back with this …

Dear Andy, you clearly don't understand politics or the Brexit campaign but are filled with prejudice.

Concentrate on the tennis and, a word of advice, crack a smile every now and again. 😃 https://t.co/8s943WUSQ1

… prompting no shortage of smashing replies.

“You don’t understand politics”, says .@Nigel_Farage, who was once out-campaigned by a man dressed as a dolphin called Flipper.🙄

Never thought I’d see the day when Nigel Farage used the words ‘filled with prejudice’ as an insult

Nigel, every single person understood your Brexit campaign. It’s not like the posters weren’t clear. pic.twitter.com/usncwJuA4F

But the best – and most succinct – response once again went to Sir Andy himself.

Hook, line and sinker. Game, set and match.

Owning Farage with just a fish emoji is absolute genius
