Growth of far right networks 'fuelled by toxic political rhetoric' [View all]

Maybe the most unsurprising headline ever!


They are destroyers, they want anarchy and Boris is enabling them. Fuckers.

An expanding far right has transformed itself into loose networks of online sympathisers who share and produce extremist material fuelled by toxic mainstream political rhetoric, experts have warned.

These networks attempt to generate interest using messaging apps, social media and platforms such as Telegram, 8chan and Gab, with some openly supportive of Boris Johnson and his stated aim of taking the UK out of the European Union by the end of October.

James Goddard, a self-styled yellow vest protester, encouraged people to join him outside the Conservative party conference in Manchester this week, in opposition to what he called the “unwashed, anti-democratic fanatical remainers” before signing off with the hashtag #BackBoris.

But...but... don't these Nazi's know that Boris is the most liberal conservative PM ever. This must be true as he said so... heh. *rolls eyes*
