My Absolute Favourite Post Ever

Red Harry is one of my regular anonymous posters. I hope you enjoy this parody of his style from Jonny Mac

Bright: "What a lovely bit of sun and blue sky we had earlier this summer."

redharry: "Typical neo-fascist bollix from the Islamophobe Bright, promoting Tory blue over other minority colours in a frankly sickening racist display that is comparable only to the ravings of the lunatic anti-immigrant Anthony Browne. What a disgrace that the once proud NS published this right wing, scare-mongering, so called "weather-related" Nazi propoganda."
