Ed Balls Day: 5 Signs We've Lost Sight Of The True Meaning Of The Day

It's 28 April, which only means one thing - Ed Balls Day is here once again. The one day we set aside to remember one of the most important moments in Britain's history - when Ed Balls tweeted his own name.

But five years on from that fateful day, we seem to have lost sight of what Ed Balls really means to all of us, and the joyous message the day is all about.

With all the commercialisation around #EdBallsDay, it's easy to forget the true meaning of it all... pic.twitter.com/jxejGAldoT

It's all been too over-commercialised.

#EdBallsDay is just a capitalist scam designed to make you buy cards and think about balls. #staywoke

For many, the magic is gone.

I have to confess I still haven't taken down my Ed Balls decorations from last year's Ed Balls Day.#EdBallsDay

Companies and activists are even waging war on Ed Balls Day.

Why is there no Ed Ovaries Day? #EdBallsDay

Absolutely fuming. Some people want to replace #EdBallsDay with a secular "Unspecified MP Holiday". Shocking #AttackonEdBallsDay

Can't believe Starbucks hasn't put ANY mention of #EdBallsDay on their cups. Political correctness gone mad. #shameful

And some blasphemers are even stooping as low as taking Ed Balls' name in vain.

Ballsy McBallsface. #EdBallsDay

At least some people still know the true meaning of Ed Balls Day.

The hogwash is in the oven and the humbug is under the plastic tree. Quite possible this may be the best #EdBallsDay ever.
