A Brexiter got a fake hospital trending with her racist tweet and got totally owned
The Brexit Party’s co-founder, Catherine Blaiklock, may not be as well known as her friend, Nigel Farage, but she’s certainly got the same attention to detail. Having been forced to resign over anti-Islamic comments (What a shocker!), she continued the vilification of people not like her with this astonishing tweet:
There were a couple of problems with what she said …
1. Slough General Hospital doesn't exist
2. Slough isn't in London
3. Pakistan isn't in the EUI'm sure this is an honest mistake & absolutely nothing to do with racism.

Perish the thought.
Slough’s council leader wasn’t very impressed, either.
This would have marginally more credibility if Slough was in London & our hospital wasn’t called Wexham Park… https://t.co/6ziLGVeBFd

These are some of the many takedowns we feel you’ll enjoy seeing.

This is what’s known as “a fucking lie”. Are you going to delete it now that it’s been proven to be a lie, or are you happy being known as a fucking liar?https://t.co/RqK8cyzNdt

I'm actually a surgeon who works at Slough General, which definitely exists and is definitely in London. I specialise in removing the brains of Brexit Party people.

Sooooo……this hospital, "Slough General?" It must be the secret hospital that all the Pakistani patients, who have bought these operations, go to.

Now *that* is the reason the NHS is in trouble. Not because of years of systematic Tory cuts, willful negligence and mismanagement, but because of all those imaginary patients being flown in from random countries for random reasons to be treated in imaginary UK hospitals… 🙄

I have spent 15 years living in Slough General.
My dog is a staffy-corgi cross, but claims to be a labrador with short legs. He ate his veterinary certificates.
This example of fraud is from my own family. He now has regular meals and walks in the park.

What are you being treated at #SloughGeneral for? I'm suffering from acute Brexit fatigue and short woman syndrome…

Shockingly, the Brexiter has yet to apologise or withdraw her comment in the face of compelling evidence. Journalist Ash Sarkar condensed it to these options.
You're either a liar or an idiot. You might be both, but you can't be neither.
Pick one, Catherine. pic.twitter.com/7Ir2VebefO
