Wait\u2026

Isn\u2019t Ed Balls day coming up?

ED BALLS DAY, I HAVE TO GET READY TO CELEBRATE\u00a0

\n
\n

What\u2019s Ed Balls day?

\n
\n

Omg, okay explanation time.\u00a0

\n

On the 28th of April, 2011, Ed Balls got a Twitter account. He decided (as most people under the spotlight do) to attempted to look up his own name. However, all he did was tweet\u00a0\u201cEd Balls\u201d. This, for some reason, got retweeted by THOUSANDS of people. On a global scale. And because he didn\u2019t know you could delete a tweet it stayed. Every year since then,the 28th of April is Ed Balls day.\u00a0

\n

This is the infamous tweet

\n

and here are some gems to celebrate that have followed the years, including last year where they framed the tweet and got him to sign it for charity
