The Brexit Party launched its election campaign with poor grammar and got schooled

It’s not even as though he spotted the error in the image and corrected it for the tweet – he simply doubled down on it. Twitter wasn’t in the mood for glossing over Farage’s mistake, and he’s going to need some ointment for these burns.

DJ Steve Sanford was less concerned with the grammar than the intention.

I'd love Farage and Johnson to both leave, and hopefully fucking never come back! https://t.co/CWqfg4Ko4F
