A spoof ‘RAF’ post about a fighter jet painted pink for Pride had blue ticks foaming at the mouth – 9 hilariously misguided responses
Regular readers – we know you’re out there – might already be familiar with the work of the spoof Twitter account, @RAF_Luton, which might be based in Luton for all we know, but it definitely isn’t the RAF.
So when it posted a story about a fighter jet being painted pink for Pride, it was to be taken with an exceptionally large pinch of salt.
Photo of the Day: This F22 from 7175Sqn has been painted pink to celebrate that start of #PrideMonth
It will be repainted every 4 days to a different colour of the rainbow at a cost of just £80,085 per paint #PridePlanes

And we mention it because it had no end of blue ticks foaming at the mouth, leaving on one in any doubt about their true colours (just not the shade of that particular fighter jet).

Pink isn't in the rainbow. What a waste of money. Are you going to paint it to celebrate other events? Black history month maybe?

And this.
You can really see how dim the right is just by looking through these comments for 30 seconds.
