Ukip trolled Kay Burley and their exchange has a very satisfying ending
Twitter exchange of the day goes to Kay Burley and Ukip after the party led by – Google, Google – Gerard Batten had this to say about the Sky News presenter.
Crass and idiotic 'journalism' from @KayBurley of @SkyNews comparing the wearing of a Burqa to the facial scars of Falklands War hero Simon Weston.
A burqa may be removed, but Mr Weston will never be able to remove the physical and emotional scars of his experience. MSM in 2018 https://t.co/LWh13N7sJa

Given the sentiment expressed here, how can UKIP expect impartial or even reasonable treatment from you in the future?

Given one of your senior representatives recently called me a ‘fucking cunt’ on the radio, I’m not sure yours is the moral high ground to adopt. https://t.co/VGl3Iss7TM

And that was the end of that. Well, mostly.
Well done for calling out their bile, Kay, though it's sad (but not surprising) to see it continue in the replies.
