Wasn’t it Steve Bannon who heavily financially contributed to the leave campaign?
He was involved with Cambridge Analytica I think.
I’ve been looking at how SM has helped fuel the current round of violence egged on by people like Farage, Tate, Robinson, and Musk, and wondering how people of peace and harmony can counteract their malevolent influence, and it occurs to me that SM can in fact work to the intelligence services advantage.
Because as much as the men of violence are trying to break down our societal values, it is all there for the authorities to use as evidence as they surely will.
In fact I am beginning to think it actually makes their life easier , in a weird sort of way.
So all the platforms are available including even Tik Tok which although immediately vanishes remains on hard drive for the police to down load and that as well as CCTV, body-cameras, drone footage and videos posted by the public almost gives them an embarrassment of evidence.

Can we have a list of hard left influencers as well?
If you worry about them, why don’t you do the work and list them? Whitewavemark2 has done it for those which most worry her (and me).

I wouldn’t want to think my phone or social media accounts are being tapped by anyone, government or not. That is a dictatorship. Awful scenario. I thought only places like China and Russia did that sort of thing. If that is the UK you can keep it.
These are organised groups, easy to infiltrate and follow online.
They're not interested in your FB account, chatting about family, local fêtes, National Trust or craft.
Of course these dangerous groups, organising online, with the potential to cause violence apon our streets need to be followed.

What do you think our security services have Neen doing for the past week?
People have already been charged with posting inflammatory remarks.

Of course the police and security services do this and always have. 🤔

Well indeed.....As if the Mail, the Telegraph, the Express, the sun, the Times are bastions of the far left! 😂

Whitewavemark2 Stop smearing Nigel Farage! If you watch GB News you will see that he is totally against the riots and violence. This is unfair, he is a decent human being and not at all racist. The main stream media have a lot to answer for and are so far left that they have to try and blame someone else. They only have one narrative and they want everyone else to think like them. At least GB News are fair and listen to people whatever their creed or belief.

I just want him to step up and take some responsibility.
He will never ever ever do that.

Exactly this.
Don’t be a fool!
oh yes, Tata Madiba was no fool.
Oh didn’t know that.
He’s looking pretty stupid now I think.
He was away in Hong Kong, he's back here now.

Whitewave - thanks for keeping going in these dispiriting times,
You’re Bob on about the awful FarageSeconded
👏👏
It's not just what he's said and done - it's what he could be doing to calm matters, as an MP, through his networks, that he is not. All people to stay at home. Tell them he will address their issues, and so on.
Nan231 - our town is EDL tonight 😩
Apparently,there is a protest planned for our town tomorrow. Shops and pubs have been advised not to open.
I'm another who thinks Farage is vile. He appeals to the worst in people whereas Mandela appealed to the best.

Reporting fact is not smearing.
After the murder of the little girls, Farage declared that they were killed by a Muslim immigrant.
He was entirely incorrect.
Where did he get the information?
From the rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate.
Now a question
Why would British MP get information from Andrew Tate, believe it and post this scurrilous lie, thus encouraging violence and division?
Who on earth even looks at Andrew Tates feed, apart from other hard right thugs?
Farage is disgusting.
