REACTIONARY and conservative figures in England were inspired into a flurry of jingoism on social media this week following Liverpool and Tottenham’s comeback victories in the Champions League.  

One tweet trending on Twitter yesterday morning read: “Last night, Barcelona. Tonight. Ajax. Johnny Foreigner shown a bloody nose. Rule Brittania [sic]!”

The tweet was written by David Vance, who runs a far-right website which purports to provide “an alternative to the fake news mainstream media narrative,” but appears mainly to bash Muslims, deny climate change and promote far-right goons Tommy Robinson and For Britain leader Anne Marie Walters.
