Earlier today, Douglas Carswell made a slight scientific blunder on Twitter.
Oh dear.
As this is the age of social media, it didn’t take long for a hashtag to appear mocking Carswell for his adamant yet totally misinformed opinion.
#AskCarswell saw a spontaneous and pseudo Q&A over which Ukip’s only MP had no control over.
And some of the questions were really hard...
It covered all sorts of topics. There was health...
Education...
Immigration...
Agriculture...
Home affairs...
Marine biology...
Astronomy...
Chemistry...
Biology...
Linguistics...
Trade...
History...
And some more astronomy for good measure...
The list went on.
Carswell has so far not answered any of them. At least he hasn’t got any wrong though.
