Anti-Liverpool tweet from parody British MP account sparks outrage on Twitter

Liverpool fans were duped badly on Twitter tonight

Twitter exploded with outrage over an anti-Liverpool FC tweet by "Labour MP" Benjamin Hicks. The politician's tweet was harshly critical of the club and seemingly offended every Liverpool fan in existence. https://twitter.com/BHicksMP/status/557645598682537984 Before you take to the tweets and lambaste the British politician, it is important to point out at this stage that he does not exist. There is no Benjamin Hicks, it is a parody account. Despite the fact that Hicks is a completely fictionalised character, it didn't stop Liverpool fans from going to Twitter in their droves and hammering the politician and his party over his controversial comments. Here is some of the best reaction to the offensive tweet by the made-up individual. https://twitter.com/Dwarfio/status/557664175024250881 https://twitter.com/DannyBarnett77/status/557661031879942145 https://twitter.com/98rosjon/status/557662631407157248 https://twitter.com/ad_I_am/status/557664048226242561 https://twitter.com/zeekvarg/status/557659500321472514 https://twitter.com/webblar5/status/557661997341614081 https://twitter.com/Lisa_Marie74/status/557666230887542786 https://twitter.com/plh51/status/557664431958917120 https://twitter.com/wrighty108/status/557668833276997633 https://twitter.com/AndyBrowne/status/557667714014392321 Hat-tip to Thomas Curran
