UKIPS Spain on Twitter. Parody or not?

No moderately intelligent person (that is to say non-UKIP supporter) can have missed the irony of their recent appeal to racists living in Spain to register to vote – in the UK – in order to prop up their anti-immigration policies. Those very supporters (or as I prefer to call them; idiots) seem unable to accept that they themselves are immigrants and economic migrants.

The days of the empire are over expats. You are not colonists, you are IMMIGRANTS (pot, kettle, black), wake up and smell the café con leche!

Yesterday a friend of mine, a fellow immigrant in the land where they serve croissants with their coffee, tagged me on this tweet he’d posted on Facebook from a Twitter account, UKIPS Spain.

I had to look at the account of course, and immediately fired of a ‘you are dicks’ message of non-support. Scrolling down though it appeared that this account just may be a parody (there’s a clue). If it is, in my view it fails, because it’s all a bit too real.

UKIP supporters can only be described as morons, which is perhaps why these look so real. Or, maybe they are… (neo-fascists tweeting to the account seem to think so). What do you think?
