Brexiter Darren Grimes tried to play the working class card and got totally owned – 9 perfect smackdowns
Viewers were not a bit happy to see Brexit activist and convicted electoral fraudster, Darren Grimes, reviewing the news on Sky.
Let it be known that @SkyNews had Darren Grimes, a proven criminal reviewing the papers this morning. Sky journalists, this is the organisation you work for? A stain on British broadcasting.

Darren Grimes is reviewing the papers on Sky?? Jesus. I wonder what their meetings are like.
'Who shall we have on to review the papers tomorrow?'
'I know, how about that little shit who cheated in the referendum?'
Why do we keep hitting new lows?

He responded by accusing those who had complained of being unhappy about his appearance because of his social class, posting an opinion piece with this tweet.
I don't have your education. I didn't have your upbringing. My summers weren't spent in Europe. We were more concerned with how to put food on the table each week. I get that it kills you that people want to listen to someone as 'uneducated' as me. https://t.co/vMNbR5HA4P

That went down about as well as his newspaper reviews had, with a lot of people lining up to tell him a few home truths.

I’m also from the North East and didn’t get a degree either but it’s blindingly obvious to me that you’re a scamming little prick. Fuck off with your faux naif shite. https://t.co/jT0IKyhVOS

You could be educated at Eton, Darren, and from depleted noble family. What people are objecting to is that you’ve been referred to the Met for electoral crimes – cheating democracy. https://t.co/lxH9TzWb4b

It's not your education or lack of it that concerns us. It's your honesty or lack of it.

A lot of people come from various backgrounds Darren, most have not undermined democracy to try to ensure many experience similar hardship in the future

Darren.
Nobody thinks you're a scamming criminal prick because you're "uneducated".
It's because you're a scamming criminal prick.

If you’re going to cry poverty, at least do it properly, like these guys.
