A couple of months on from the riots and Reform/Farage social media is taking on an increasingly hysterical tone. Overheated conspiracy theories, weird suspicions all jumbled together.
The death of Peter Lynch – a rioter who sadly committed suicide in prison – has given them a martyr. There is increased radicalisation and lots of Islamaphobia.
The obsession with small boat crossing has now reached the level that given a choice between a sensible, workable and humane policy, and a crazy, unworkable policy that costs billions but treats foreigners like shit most reform voters would choose the latter. They want an immigration policy that is cruel more than one that works.
They talk endlessly about protecting Britain’s culture and heritage yes no-one seems to know exactly what happened in the Crusades, who Saint George was, or be able to spot the difference between a Saxon, a Viking or a Crusader. Most of them haven’t worked out that Saxons were Germanic immigrants. And lots and lots of terrible spelling and grammar.
And above all credulity. A willingness to believe any old nonsense shared with them on social media above anything from the main stream media no matter how well authenticated.
