Brexit’s biggest donor took on Martina Navratilova and it didn’t end well
Arron Banks, the multimillionaire co-founder of Leave.EU and Brexit’s biggest campaign donor, is reportedly being investigated by the National Crime Agency over alleged links to Russia.
It caught the eye of Martina Navratilova who shared a link to a tweet by one of journalists leading the story, Carole Cadwalladr.

Here’s how Navratilova and a bunch of other people responded.
how sweet of you. My tennis style is a lot of things, but boring? I don’t think so:)

I was a steffy Graff fan myself – Nav was just boring to watch – fact @Arron_banks

It's just that, objectively, do you have to wonder whether you're losing the argument when you're criticising Martina Navratilova at tennis?

i think you all need to do a bit more reading in Roman history before telling uswhat caused the fall of Rome. Facts guys!

@wmarybeard yes sacking Rome nothing to do with the down fall ( eyes to sky ) https://t.co/3QvAAuJGT6

sorry but you may have strong views but you guys don't know Roman history.
