Britain First reposts Jeremy Corbyn ‘armed forces’ satire not realising it’s a joke

When Britain First stumbled across an article lambasting Jeremy Corbyn for choosing Glastonbury over a ‘last-minute invitation to Armed Forces Day’, it did what any far-right bunch of bellends would do – it reposted it on its website.

Except the comedy rant by @hrtbps on Twitter was just that – a comedy rant – although the joke was totally lost on Britain First.

You’d have thought the intro might have given it away, describing Corbyn as a “noted soldier hater and disgusting peacenik”.

At what point could they NOT have realised the article, for @Joe_co_uk, was a joke?

“Armed Forces Day, a British tradition for generations since its inception in 2008, took place this weekend.

“Instead, the hapless socialist appeared at Glastonbury Festival on a stage that was built with money – which is capitalist by the way – to deliver a virtue signalling speech to hundreds of thousands of easily duped people from every demographic.

“Every demographic, that is, if they could afforded £200 to buy a ticket. Onlookers also reported that many in the crowd were holding £3 cups of coffee, and iPhones, because these are important details.”
