Irrelevant Twitter Responses to British Politicians

Social media is a tough place for a politician. Unless they happen to be lucky enough to be Barack Obama, chances are they’ll be bombarded day and night with abuse completely irrelevant to the issue they’re trying to weigh in on. For them, it’s probably not the nicest thing, but for us regular folk it can provoke a laugh or two. Here, I’ve pulled together some of the funniest irrelevant responses to politicians that have been posted recently.

David Cameron

Ahh, David Cameron. The incumbent Prime Minister seems as good a place to start as any. Here’s a tweet he posted a few days back showing his support for the Help for Heroes campaign.

I’m proud to support the latest @HelpforHeroes campaign for wounded troops in @TheSunNewspaper today. pic.twitter.com/SmCjqNgo9W

Seriously, how could this ever go wrong?

@David_Cameron fuck off, dish face.

— Ian Stimson (@ianstimson) September 25, 2014

Ah.

@David_Cameron @HelpforHeroes @TheSunNewspaper How very statesmanlike, you dish-faced twazzock.

— Avian Face-O’Toole (@Beakmoo) September 25, 2014

Right then.

@David_Cameron fuck off spoon face

At least this guy’s being a bit more original.

@David_Cameron @HelpforHeroes @TheSunNewspaper quite a handsome chap David. #secretcrush

Ummmm? Moving on. George Osborne Here, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne – the only man to have been booed at the Paralympics – weighs in on how things are going in a non-Independent Scotland.

Unemployment in Scotland is down to 6% – below UK average. Scotland doing well as part of UK #BetterTogether

— George Osborne (@George_Osborne) September 17, 2014

He posted this only a week or so after millions of Scottish hearts were broken by the outcome of the referendum. I’m sure this will go well.

@George_Osborne they’ll be doing even better without cunts like you fucking up their economy

— Ferret Dave (@ravensrod) September 17, 2014

So, yeah. That went about as well as expected.

@George_Osborne Well I’m voting Ukip and representing them. As long as I remain without employment! Fact! Along with 2 million other women!

— mummygirl:Bev Stein (@mummygirl) September 17, 2014

I think this woman is using the word ‘fact’ a bit liberally. Also I’d love to know where she got her stat ‘2 million women’ from.

I’ve just noticed this woman posted multiple times. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how little sense she makes?

@bordchy @George_Osborne Close the door! And only allow with invitation only! Using skills. And employing local people. Myself is ban agency

— mummygirl:Bev Stein (@mummygirl) September 17, 2014

‘Myself is ban agency.’ Yeah, that makes sense. Back to George now.

Ed Miliband didn’t mention the deficit once. Extraordinary. If you can’t fix the economy you can’t fund the NHS

— George Osborne (@George_Osborne) September 23, 2014

Ah here we go, a direct jab at his political opponents. This oughta be good.

@George_Osborne You’ve never mentioned the death toll your sadistic, genocidal policies have created, you sewer dwelling gutter crawler.

— anthony nicholas (@antnich) September 23, 2014

The retorts aimed at Gideon certainly seem more creative than those aimed at Cameron.

@George_Osborne Remind us how much more you’ve already spent in 4 1/2yrs than Labour did in 14 yrs Gidiot.

Gidiot. Heh.
