A bizarre video has been released on the YouTube channel of Leave.EU, one of the campaigns vying for the official Brexit nomination. It was entitled ‘We Are At War Again’ and tweeted through its official account – before it was swiftly taken offline. Coffee House has received a copy of the video. You can watch it above.
In the video, Ireland is labelled ‘The Balkans’ and countries in the Middle East are labelled a ‘bunch of foreigners’ and ‘f*ck knows’. The Leave.EU campaign say this is not an official video and it was uploaded to its website by one of its 350,000 ‘users’. A Leave.EU spokesman says:
‘It was a video produced in February this year, prior to the General Election titled LibLabCon — it is not a Leave.EU video and has never been. It was posted as a Leave.EU video today, not from our office, in light of the Syria debate. We removed it from every platform as soon as we saw it.’
Embarrassing.
