IN THE EARLY hours of this morning, The Apprentice star Alan Sugar was scrolling down his Twitter timeline, when he spotted a news story from American satire website The Onion.
Taylor Swift Grateful Kanye West Controversy Taking Heat Off New Swastika Tattoo.
As if the headline is not ridiculous enough, the tweet featured a photograph of Taylor Swift with a swastika photoshopped onto her face. Taylor Swift is the very last person in the world who you’d expect to get a face tattoo of any kind.
Sugar was shocked by the tweet, and shared it to his profile asking people to explain why Taylor Swift would do such a thing.
It defies me, Lord Sugar! I can only say that if there’s some supportive message in there, it’s lost on me! Thoroughly tasteless. Corbyn would probably like it.

Lord Sugar genuinely believed that Taylor Swift had a swastika tattoo after reading a headline on The Onion
IN THE EARLY hours of this morning, The Apprentice star Alan Sugar was scrolling down his Twitter timeline, when he spotted a news story from American satire website The Onion.
The headline, referencing Kanye West’s recent behaviour on Twitter, read:
As if the headline is not ridiculous enough, the tweet featured a photograph of Taylor Swift with a swastika photoshopped onto her face. Taylor Swift is the very last person in the world who you’d expect to get a face tattoo of any kind.
Sugar was shocked by the tweet, and shared it to his profile asking people to explain why Taylor Swift would do such a thing.
To make things even worse, many of Sugar’s followers also thought the tweet was real and accused Taylor Swift of being an attention seeker.
Whoops!
