Arron Banks apologises for xenophobic tweet targeting Merkel

Arron Banks has apologised after Leave.EU tweeted a xenophobic meme of Angela Merkel that invoked Britain’s world war victories to target the German chancellor.

ciabaudo He was so apologetic he still claimed Germany threatening to break up the UK was worse - even though they never threatened it. Plus, just how repentant were they really?

Aaron Banks gets the media to give him more column inches/air time. He's not sorry at all.

What about the bus.

He’s still a disgusting racist though.

Oh he’s SORRY? Where’d the £8m you plunged into the Leave Campaign come from ARron?

Using language favoured by some knuckle dragging football fans,the only surprise is that he didn’t aim a chippy rendition of the ‘no surrender’ ditty toward Leo Varadkar. Pariah status has been achieved thanks to arseholes like that bloke.

Of course he does, as a barrister will withdraw a statement knowing it’s already sunk in with the jury.

The reason why Tories and Brexiters feel Eu is undemocratic is due to small countries like Ireland stopping uk agenda. A province in Belgium almost stopped the Canadian-EU trade deal. How Scotland wished they had so much power in uk politics

His just saying what millions think !!

Why reporting anything from this idiot? Dies he really worth an article?

It was a disgraceful tweet & undermined the position of every remainer trying to make a reasoned argument to leave.

So he should, disgusting.

Hollow words from a hollow man.

Arron Banks can apologise? It must have been to a puffed up white man, at least. Don't shatter my world view.

MrsNickyClark He's not sorry, and even after being deleted the tweet has done its job. In terms of stoking xenophobia and riling up the Leavers, the toothpaste is now out of the tube.

Banks knows exactly what he’s doing.

Couldn't Borry have blamed the Andorrans for a change?

He didn't apologise for the xenophobia, he apologised that people had seen the xenophobia.

When is he going to apologise for racist bilge like this which is still on there?

Insincerity abounds, the fact it took so long to take down demonstrates what an empty apology this is.

When will apologies inflicting Nigel Farage on the country?

Not good enough. Should never have been sent.
