Twitter funny tweets nigel farage
RIP to this fabulous Nigel Farage joke which has just been knocked on the head by Twitter
Say what you like about Elon Musk – please – but we didn’t think he could make Twitter (still can’t bring ourselves to call it ‘X’) and then he goes and does this.
It was flagged by Dave Lee – @davelee1968 – who replied nine years ago to a tweet by Nigel Farage asking people to name what was behind him in the picture.
Can anyone name what’s behind me in this picture? pic.twitter.com/Us2maW2iu3

Ancient history, obviously, but the reply by @davelee1968 lived on for reasons that are about to become obvious. Until now.
Well, 9 years after I posted it, this tweet has just got me banned from Twitter. I had to delete it or lose my account I can only imagine some humourless fuckstain decided to report it. Ah, well. It had a good run. pic.twitter.com/3RXFpBBmxM

And just in case that’s tricky to read in full …
And in a glorious self-own by whoever the hell bothered to complain, the outpouring of love sent it viral all over again.
This must be the cancel culture that the right bang on about.

Disagree with your politics, but it was very funny. People need to chill out. Right wing snowflakes are definitely a thing…
