In today’s episode of ‘Bigotry for Clicks’, far-right activist Lucy White of Restore Britain made what is colloquially known as an absolute show of herself on Twitter, with a bizarre attack on the Liberal Democrat MP for Eastbourne, Josh Babarinde.

Here’s what he had to say about the concept of who is or isn’t English, ahead of proposing a change in the census language to include Black English and Asian Engish options.

This was her reaction.

Warning: you may lose IQ points just by looking at this post.

Babarinde should be imprisoned for his genocidal language. The name Babarinde gives me a migraine. When I type it, a squiggly red line appears beneath because it is not even recognised by our dictionary.

Where to start with that?

It’s not genocidal to say that people of colour can be English. We’re not medical experts, but we’re certain his name can’t give anyone migraine. And why, we have to ask, would a name be in the dictionary if it isn’t also used as a part of speech?

Ms White’s naked bigotry got exactly the reaction it deserved – complete scorn. Let’s take a look.

To be fair, we suspect she’s not okay with Disraeli, either.

To remove any lingering doubts about Ms White’s motivation, she added this.
