A group of Brexiters is calling itself “the Grand Wizards” and it’s a very bad idea – 19 savage owns

I'm high. I must be. The hard Brexiteers have not actually called themselves the Grand Wizards aka the KKK. Clearly I've slipped and fallen into a big ol' pile of drugs and right now I'm trippin' bawz. That's the only logical explanation. https://t.co/GgSd4Bo0DA

Latest on 'Grand Wizards'. A bit like, "we're informally called the blackshirts… er, no intended connection to anything else." https://t.co/ygmfPibh7n

“So we are a bunch of senior, white, right-wing men. Can anyone think of any possible unfortunate connotations with the phrase ‘Grand Wizard’”.

"Grand Wizards" is not great name for a party with a racism scandal. https://t.co/Y9h9mtF7Ex

You'd think Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has dined with a white supremacist group and is chums with Steve Bannon, would be wary of calling himself a member of the grand wizards, a term forever linked to the KKK. https://t.co/NBTcmVgAqF

Listen, it's just an informal extremely racist name connected to the KKK for my friendship group, nothing to worry about.

“Alright, Chris, we know you’ve screwed up royally in every job you’ve ever held in government, but here’s a simple one. We need you to come up with a name for our group which doesn’t immediately make people think of the KKK. Even you can’t mess this one up.” https://t.co/Xoo0jVXgF6

They’ll be flaming cross when they find out that has another meaning. https://t.co/ROXKOz3u2e

Writer and comedian, Nathaniel Tapley, wanted people to be under no apprehension about the Brexiters’ intent.
"Ha ha ha. They accidentally named themselves after the Ku Klux Klan."
No. No, they didn't. They know the people they want to attract. They know what they're doing. They're cunts, not idiots.

While, author, David Southwell, realised one huge implication of the self-imposed nickname.
So now it emerges it is Uri Geller vs. the Grand Wizards. Just when you think Brexit cannot get weirder …

It makes as much sense as anything else we’ve heard recently.
