The main takeaway here is that Twitter is still a cesspool of extremists.

It's not, racists are just annoyed for no reason.

I see what you mean about the comments but TBH politics on Twitter is a cesspit of this after every political post. Political Twitter is rife with identity politics in every comment section.

I was just surprised at the overwhelmingly negative reaction to this. You even have other supporters getting dismayed.

Yeah, the tweet itself is fine but i don't think anyone expected the backlash especially on this scale. And it's on the Tories' own account

I got shown this and was actually surprised reading the comments. It's a simple tweet so where is the backlash coming from? :confused:

It really does feel like people are getting offended with everything

Honestly there are people who literally sit on Twitter & follow people ready to spread there propaganda every post.

I would actually be surprised is the tories or Boris or a pro-leave thinktank didn’t get flooded with spam propaganda.

It’s painful how bad it’s gotten.

And I bet that if they put two white people on it, the comments would also be filled with "thats racist, its a white person again" :rolleyes:

Seems like Boris has underestimated his fanbase. Hopefully, these people don't speak for tories or else, Boris might need to pick a side again.

I don't think people would be surprised. I'm more interested at how skin colour has suddenly become a thing again on the right side. What happened to 'i don't see race'

Unfortunately, that seems to have disappeared.

All of Twitter, political or not, is a cesspit.

Tory voters: "I don't see colour at all." "Britain is the least racist country."
Also tories: "BAME ARE TAKING OVER." :angry::angry::angry:
