It's Getting Harder By The Day To Support The Brexit Party

I posted not too long ago about the whole Brexit Party turning their backs at the EU parliament thing. I thought that was silly and a bit of a faux pas. It wasn't too unforgivable, but it did sour the milk a little. Now we have another faux pas of sorts. This time a tweet from the Brexit Party MEP Robert Rowland. Where he said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek it must be said, that foreign fishing vessels should be sunk like the Belgrano. The ship famously sunk by Britain during the Falklands conflict.

(The Brexit Party; turning their backs, tweeting

and generally having a good time)

It was a pretty tasteless and unhelpful comment, and the last time I looked it was still up on his Twitter page. So there's been no backtracking or public regret over the statement.

Obviously it again brings into question the character of these people we've sent to the EU parliament. I've helped send (!). It also makes it difficult to win floating voters over to the Brexit Party, or indeed to Brexit altogether. If there was another election would I really be able to convince friends and family members to vote for the party when they're saying and doing things like this? Would I want to?

It really makes you wonder.
