Russia’s secret plan to target the UK using fake BBC and Daily Mail sites

1. Presumably so they don’t have to keep paying the real Daily Mail.

2. How can Russia beat the Daily Mail at feeding the U.K. ultra-right wing shit and convincing people to believe the most ludicrous rubbish and vote for the most unsuitable people to run the country ?

   I mean, FML, but the Mail is fucking expert at it.

3. The fake Daily Mail site would have been easy to spot. It’d be too rational.

4. i wonder what disinformation we are sending there way.

5. This is very concerning. I hope the UK is able to defend against such a plan.

6. A fake Daily Mail site could only be an improvement over the cesspit that is the real one

7. Stealth in some Russian propaganda slop amongst all the standard British propaganda slop. Could work well for them.

8. They don’t need to be fake, the BBC and Daily Mail do enough to stir up drama

9. Is this from the British “The Onion”?

   Else satire is truly dead.

10. The Daily Mail and Torygraph have their own very active accounts on this sub. It’s not as if the FSB have to do much actual work – they most likely just feed social media platforms like this one.
