Lee Anderson’s diary entry left people struggling to connect the dots – 16 of the best takedowns
X users have been confused this week by a bizarre tweet from Reform UK MP Lee Anderson, which triumphantly concluded with the promise ‘We will get our country back’ (following shortly on from far-right, anti-immigration riots sweeping said country, we might add).
On its own, the message is in line with his views, but it was the content of the post which left commenters scratching their heads. Mercifully, it has been screenshotted to reduce contact with Anderson’s actual page:
This is the most insane tweet I've ever seen.

Let’s take a closer look.
The charge against Anderson was lead by the original poster, and X was on sparkling form as it followed suit.

"We'll get our country back by listening to Jethro in the car on the way home from seeing Jim Davidson."
Huge if true.

Why does it read like a child was ordered to write an essay about what they did on their holidays

It’s just a nice upbeat message to all of his friends and followers going through an accelerated court process at the moment.

Isn't it odd how people who buy tickets for a Jim Davidson show do not get offended by the content of Jim Davidson shows

Big 'you can't do anything anymore' energy from a man who's spent his whole day doing what he likes and enjoying it

“Me and Craig and Graham went to Skegness and we had the bestest time with Posh Richard who you won’t know ‘cos he goes to another school but he is LOADED and he says I’m one of his bestest mates and he paid for me to go on the dodgems too.”

Lee this is lovely, try & work more on your vocabulary & describing words.
What did the Fish & Chips smell and taste like?
Overall much better than the last story you wrote about liking the death penalty & hating Muslims & mocking people who use food banksWell Done !

1. Overlooking the sea and watching the world go by… a curious combination
2. I hope Craig didn’t have “a few pints” before driving home to the witty observational humour of Jethro (a new phrase to the English language), as he’d probably have been over the limit

" Then, as a tribute to Nigel Farage, we went on the dodgem , as I'm told its his favourite pastime when being asked to visit his constituency.

What a spiffing day that sounds. Although the moral of the story could do with some work.
