Spelling aside, I genuinely thought this Express front page from 2005 was a spoof.

It's not.

They're fucking unhinged.

The relentless poison it pukes out daily isn't about "free speech" - it should be seen for what it truly is: vile, dangerous #propaganda that harms all of us.

Here's some Express front pages from the run up to the EU Referendum:

The xenophobic, jingoistic, dangerously nationalistic Express appears to have a problem with one European country in particular:

And of course, the Express would never exaggerate threats or use preposterously nationalistic rhetoric reminiscent of the Nazis to demonize or scapegoat the European Union.

And don't get me started on the stultifyingly pig-ignorant, dangerously ill-informed & terrifyingly irresponsible health claims the Express routinely pukes out.

If the Express tried to put this shit out on @Twitter it'd get a 'Disputed Claim' sticker - or a permanent suspension.
