always good to check the edit history on Twitter as they can sometimes be revealing What Douglas Carswell has written today is awful bad in its final form, but his original tweet was worse He's not correcting a typo "From Epping to the sea, let's make England immigrant free" just showed his hand

Maybe because he’s an immigrant (to the US) himself? As such, of course, whoever the UK allows in makes no difference to him and he should mind his own fecking business.

The Islamophobia is grim but the additional hypocrisy Carswell being born in Uganda where his parents were working + he's been living in Mississippi since 2020 and considers himself an immigrant in the USA... yeah, wowsers

OK, Douglas Carswell was born in England but his family were based in Uganda until he was ~17

Seems like Douglas Carswell believes it's ok for white Anglo people to live where they like, but not anyone who doesn't fit his ideal. And he's starting with Muslims, but that immigrant comment shows us that even if he did remove them all from England then he'd just move onto the next group he hates

While the post and the idea is vile enough, the appropriation of "from the river to the sea" is distinctly cynical ( if taken literally Epping to the sea is a chunk of south Essex though I doubt his tweet merits any further serious thought than "Doug hates foreigners and encourages violence")
