Current Events > Britbros did UKIP lose all of their parliamentary seats?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm ignorant of what happens that side of the pond, how did they go from getting the people to vote for brexit to losing every seat?

UKIP is not the same UKIP it was. The youtube edgelords like sargon as well as Tommy Robinson joined the party and farage left in protest to letting in extremists. He started a new party and brexit supporters voted for that instead

What does it say about the ideology of the former UKIP, and new Brexit party that such extremists were easily able to attach themselves to it?

We're they though? It killed the party. Plus UKIP has never really been anything more than farages cult of personality. The voter turnout when he's been in and out of the party has always been night and day.

this says a lot lol

I don't understand how Sargon can be so smug after totally embarrassing himself in front of his nation. He must have no self-awareness, but I guess that is not surprising when you call yourself an anti feminist.

If he had any self awareness, he would've stopped making videos after he was embarrassed by Richard Spencer.

You're thinking of UK elections.

This was EU elections.

He was originally a youtuber, before he got into a stupid controversy because he made his pet dog do the nazi salute as a joke/prank to his girlfriend, but was instead arrested for a simple joke.

"Gas the jews" was a simple joke and not hate speech?

You can easily tell in context (he even explains it at the beginning of the video) that it was a fucking joke. Don't be like those idiots that say "context doesn't matter".

"Hey this is a joke. GAS THE JEWS."

"LOL that was a good one Count Dankula!" said Carl.

Is that the context were talking about?

You can literally watch the video. I think the anti-sjw's on youtube are cringeworthy and stupid as a whole, but for Count Dankula to get prosecuted for a simple video like this was utterly stupid.

Wow that was the pinnacle of comedy.

Hey I never said it was funny either, but a joke is a joke and getting prosecuted for it sets a very dangerous precedent.
