Piers Morgan blasts ‘extreme Remoaners’ who compare elderly Brexiteers to ‘Nazis’
Piers Morgan today slammed “extreme Remoaners” for comparing elderly Brexit voters to “Nazis”.
The Good Morning Britain presenter expressed his anger after a Remain supporter tweeted that they “could not look at an old person without thinking they are a nasty Brexiteer” and likened it to witnessing “Nazism”.
Piers hit back, tweeting: “These extreme Remoaners make me puke. Vile people, vile thought processes.”
He shared his remarks alongside the original tweet which read: “I cannot look at an old person without thinking they are a nasty Brexiteer. I know not all are, but most are and it really saddens me to feel this way. I feel like my 1930s descendants felt watching Nazism grow around them”.
The tweet was shared from an account using the handle @UK4Europe and with the bio as “just a hard-working mum, one of the millions of Remainers trying to protect our children’s futures.”
Labour’s official Leave campaign group also condemned the tweet saying it amounted to “a fine example” of “hateful demonising of large groups of people for no good reason, and a surge in unashamed and even proud bigotry.”

The original poster has since backtracked and apologised for causing offence in a series of new tweets.
“I should have said ‘many are’, not ‘most are’ and the Nazi point was ill considered. Having a tough day today and this didn’t pass my usual ‘read three times rule’!
“Apologies for any offence, not intended. Just vocalising my dismay at a clear and growing divide that saddens me,” one read.
But another Remain backer responded: “I remember the morning of June 24th, 2016… Just as you said, I looked at everyone over 60 (?), and thought: ‘Are you one of those b*******?’.”
Others, tweeting under the hashtag #FBPE which stands for #FollowBackProEu, were not disturbed by the tweet. Originally used by Dutchman Hendrik Klaassens in October 2017, the hashtag has since spread on the UK web as a way for remain voters and pro-EU social media members to identify each other online.
The fact is we as a country voted and the result was that we should leave the EU. Had I known that a vote could be overturned I would have fought to rid this country of Phoney Blair. Did anyone see the hidden agenda in Mrs May's thrice rejected agreement? It was in The Daily Brexit. The top 40 horrors: From the offset, we should note that this is an EU text, not a UK or international text. This has one source. The Brexit agreement is written in Brussels. It is unlikely to be in our favour but it is the duplicity that gets me. I don't have a problem with those who chose to remain, it is their democratic right to do so. I just want to say that on investigation I found that the people who have suffered under this regime are ordinary people and only the elite, who have business deals in Brussels, seem to be the winners while the rest of the country continues to suffer hardship. NB: it is the EU who have stopped us bailing out British Steel at a loss of around five thousand jobs.
