Infowars and the rise of the british far right?


Recommended Posts

So...........just read this story

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/05/far-right-protesters-ransack-socialist-bookshop-bookmarks-in-london

 

About far right members ransacking a socialist bookshop, and in the article it states

 

A far-right protest against censorship of the conspiracy theory website Infowars took place in central London on Saturday at which protesters were seen with the same placards. Others wore “Make Britain Great Again” caps.

 

i've not actually seen anything else mention such a protest, did a far right protest in London actually happen? Was it large? small? involved in this bookshop ransacking?

 

I do know Alex Jones is being held accountable for "lies" hes been telling.

I presume this (and the odd video etc being taken down) is the reason for any protests?

It's weird there would be actual street protests over here in a major city about a yank and his crank stories?

It also shows the far right is on the rise and taking more action onto the streets.
