British Living In France Complains About Immigrants Without A Sense Of Irony
Another day, another failure from a British ex-pat complaining about immigration.
This one comes courtesy of a woman named Karen Watson who appears to live in Pays de la Loire, in western France.
In a now-deleted tweet, Watson allegedly complained about an influx of immigrants to the area of France where she lives, and suggests it may have led to a recent sexual assault.
The tweet has since been captured by other Twitter users who criticised her blatant ignorance and failure to recognise that she is also technically an immigrant to France.

Karen I really hate to break this to you but there were immigrants living there. Because you're an immigrant Karen. You're literally an immigrant.
Watson's Twitter name makes a clear reference to the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with many other tweets spouting an anti-EU rhetoric.
Further investigation shows that she was replying to a tweet about Muslim birthrates from the account @caolmid, which often promotes Islamophobia.
I read it in context. It was a reply to a comment made by this person. Her pinned tweet says it all and you are no better. At least she’s up front about her racism. You don’t even appear to recognise it in yourself.

Watson's tweet has since gone viral, with many people admonishing her as a prime example of British ignorance.
Karen is a product of BRITISH exceptionalism. The sort of thinking where English people are never foreigners and immigrants are brown. Is it her fault? No. It's been fed to her and reinforced.
I enjoyed her replies to comments like this. She’s not an immigrant because she married a French man. Infallible logic.
It's like complaining about all the cars on the road when you are stuck in traffic not understanding you are one of the cars.
Car-boot sales in France are called “ brocantes “ she should have known that ?

I know we're not supposed to call leave supporters stupid ... but sometimes it's really really hard.
