Ireland footballer Harry Arter has been accused of horribly mixing up British political leaders Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn before deleting his Twitter account.
London-born Arter referenced a tweet from Labour Party leader Corbyn that condemned the unbalanced nature of wealth in British society.
Corbyn tweeted: "There are 150 billionaires in the UK while 14 million people live in poverty.
"In a fair society there would be no billionaires and no one would live in poverty."
Arter, 29, took issue with this view, claiming that "billionaires create thousands of jobs for the public through their [sic] numerous companies".
The Fulham midfielder then got in a debate with a Twitter user, arguing that Corbyn lied during the Brexit campaign that leaving the European Union would result in extra funding for the NHS.
He added of Corbyn: "Hard to take anything he says seriously, when his whole campaign was on the back of a certain amount of funding for the NHS, then literally admitting the next day that it was lie."
The footballer's comment prompted social media users to accuse Arter of getting Corbyn, or at least his political policies, terribly mixed up with British Prime Minister Johnson.
And this appeared to prompt Arter, who was 15 Ireland caps to his name, to quickly delete his Twitter account.
