So, earlier this week BBC reporter Giles Dilnot asked people if they thought UKIP leader Nigel Farage had what it takes to be prime minister.
Has @Nigel_Farage got what it takes to be PM? See how the balls fall in @reporterboy film on Tue #bbcdp after 1200
Which upset whoever was running the Twitter account for UKIP South Thanet, the constituency where Farage is hoping to become a MP in next year's general election.
Which was seriously awkward.
@ukip_sththanet @daily_politics @Nigel_Farage You are SO wrong you might be embarrassed by that
Because...
Accused of bias by a Kipper for doing my moodbox in front of "a mosque" ...it was Westminster Catholic cathedral
That's Westminster Cathedral, guys, not a mosque.
@ukip_sththanet @daily_politics certainly it was here....http://t.co/JJ5sEcYIah not sure you'll find a mosque in there though
Anyway, whoever was running the UKIP account was quick to say sorry for their mistake.
@reporterboy I have got it wrong about the building as was wrongly advised and apologise. The random vote remark still stands
And Dilnot accepted their apology.
Mosque update: The account has in all fairness to them apologised and accepted it wasn't one
BUT... Twitter doesn't like missing out on a golden opportunity for LOLs and the following day the #ThingsThatAreNotMosques hashtag took off.
This is not a Mosque, but those gentlemen look decidedly 'Foreign' don't they?#ThingsThatAreNotMosques
Guardian blogger Alex Andreou led the way on Wednesday night.

And when he was done, the rest of Twitter took over.
Having made #OsborneMustBeUrineTested trend earlier, if I can get #ThingsThatAreNotMosques going, I can basically retire from twitter.
#ThingsThatAreNotMosques But it's got a dome, it must be a mosque?!
