As it turns out, bad spelling is the least of Lily Allen’s problems. She’s also, unfortunately, not terribly bright.
In light of yesterday’s stunning Tory victory in the U.K., Allen had this to say:
Just thinking about which other facist regimes I'd rather live under than a Tory led Britian ………………..

The Tories are “facist”? Rilly, Lily?
@lilyallen define fascism…

Apparently, a fascist is anyone without a soul. Like those icky Conservatives!

@diamondsalex um, that sounds about right.
— LILYALLEN2.0 (@lilyallen) May 8, 2015
Um, no it doesn’t. Nor does this:
@diamondsalex Murdoch is the real leader of the Conservative party, and in my opinion, he is a corrupt dictator of sorts

Huh?

@diamondsalex I didn't say we have a fascist govt. I said there are fascist regimes I'd rather live under than in Tory led Britain.

@lilyallen So fascist you can tweet that without any fear. Grow up.

Congratulations, @lilyallen. 70th anniversary of VE Day, and you've just compared the party responsible for Allied victory to fascists.
— Lisa Wade (@fenwench) May 8, 2015
@lilyallen That would be a stupendously ignorant tweet at any time, but extra points for doing it on the 70th anniversary of VE day.
— Johnny (@SJP_72) May 8, 2015
Oof.
@lilyallen I don't support the Tories but comparing their govt to fascist countries (Italy under Mussolini etc) is insulting.
— Dan Bull ? (@itsDanBull) May 8, 2015
So 'facist' (sic): such misuse a grotesque insult to those who truly suffered under fascism. #hyperboleofthepampered https://t.co/uFLjwvcGTq

@lilyallen To be fair, if they were fascist, we wouldn't have been able to vote yesterday. Or at least we'd have been FORCED to vote Tory.
— Anthony Hillman (@axlreznor) May 8, 2015
@lilyallen a fascist government would hardly of allowed a free election like we did yesterday. What an uneducated comment.

I do not think "fascism" means what you think it means https://t.co/hmBO8rmfS8

Pick up a book, @lilyallen. You've well and truly shot yourself in the foot with your ignorance of history and politics.

Recommended reading for Lily, if she doesn’t mind the occasional multisyllabic word:

She can read it on the plane.
I'm sure I can find a couple of quid to donate towards her plane ticket… https://t.co/lebGT59nhA
