@10DowningStreet @theresa_may Are you fucking joking? Theresa, no matter what shite you tweet now, yours is a legacy of egregious cruelty and racism. You’ll be remembered as a vile stain by anyone with a conscience and as a joke by the awful people you pandered to. Hope it was worth it. Fuck off forever.
