Ukip reminds “expat” Brits living abroad not to forget to vote for their anti-immigrant agenda

Irony fail at Ukip headquarters.

By Media Mole

Question: what’s wrong with this picture, tweeted out by the main Ukip account?

But of course it’s OK, because they’re expats, not immigrants. Totally different!

(Also worth noting here, again, that there are as many British people living in other EU nations as EU nationals living in the UK – kicking them out would also mean taking everyone else back in, so it’s not exactly a well-thought-through solution to, eg, the housing shortage.)
