WIDDECOMBE RILES UP REMOANERS

Daft Dave Lammy has led the condemnation of Ann Widdicombe's awesome speech to the European Parliament.  Predictable stuff from Lammy.

Anne Widdecombe just compared Britain leaving the EU to "slaves" rising up "against their owners".

It is impossible to explain how offensive and ahistorical it is for you to equate my ancestors tearing off their chains with your small-minded nationalist project. Shame on you. https://t.co/wZVCziXWVM

Brexiteer Arron Banks retweeted Lammy and brought him down a peg or two.

The British led the world on abolishing slavery, we have nothing to be ashamed of... https://t.co/7NU5pnBwj8

EU maniac and honorary Lib Dem Guy Verhofstadt - who Widdicombe addressed directly in her speech - returned fire via Twitter.

Nigel Farage facing some stiff competition as chief clown of the Brexit Party in the @Europarl_EN. By the way, when Widdecombe talks about “colonies liberating themselves from their empires”, is she really referring to the American Revolution of 1776? https://t.co/KNtQ7GjaY3

We tweeted Verhofwat our latest meme.  Very apt.
