UKIP’s Gerard Batten said police may use water cannon on Brexiteers – 9 perfectly arresting takedowns

Later today at 4pm – and you could be forgiven for missing it – Nigel Farage’s so-called march will arrive from Sunderland in London.

Can’t wait to see how many turn up (and how many of those actually walked all the way from Sunderland. Not Farage – or Batten – obviously).

I've fought for 25 years to get us out of the EU.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4pm, Brexiteers are gathering in Parliament Square.

Anyway, UKIP’s so-called leader Gerard Batten’s expecting the worst after he shared this on Twitter.

Water cannon you say, Gerard? And ‘provocateur’ police deliberately targeting Brexiteers, you say?

There’s lots you could say to that, and these 9 people put it best.

1.

What reports? Do you have a link to these ‘reports’ at all? Given the fact we do not have any water cannon in the U.K. these ‘reports’ seem a little fanciful don’t they? Still, as an MEP I’m sure you have good reason for repeating ‘reports’ which appear to be untrue. Don’t you?

Surely we can all agree that we don’t want anyone aggregated?

I’m prosecuting an aggregated burglary next week.

That should cement your reputation.

How does one aggregate a brexiteer?

Make them gravel for it

This is such a loud dog whistle to call for aggression from Brexit supporters even humans can hear it.

No, this is Gerard winding it up for journalists so they can get someone down there to photograph the 12 people who will be there.
Hey Gerry –
You going to be there yourself?

This is a lie. The police in London do not have any water cannon. The ones Boris Johnson bought cost the tax-payer over £300,000 and were sold for scrap. Not only that but as Home Secretary Theresa May banned their use in England and Wales. #LeaveMeansLies https://t.co/koB4ejTQqU

And just in case you like these things from the (police) horse’s mouth …
