People who try to pretend they're superior make it so much harder for those of us who really are. Philistines!

How likely is it that similar groups are targeting UK users? I'm talking about BBC News articles being swarmed with far-right comments minutes after being posted, Twitter users with dubious profiles posting generic pro-Brexit/pro-Trump comments etc.


Beyond that people have mentioned that it's a thing, it specifically isn't a new thing - the pervasiveness of f.e far-right BBC commenters has been a noticeable and talked-about thing for...god, probably as long as there have been BBC comments sections. But at least a long time! (including here, a lot over the years).
