Scene in Birstall where eye witness quoted says did NOT hear anyone shouting “Britain First” #JoCox
Pretty weird situation. The look of the guy adds up to someone being from Britain First, but no one heard him shouting these slogans apart from a foreign guy...
But, it doesn’t matter, since the meme went out to millions of sheeple already.
How convenient that such a statement was made or asserted. The government and the international left will do almost anything to make sure that Britain stays in the EU. A little lying is nothing; they would probably do much more.
Will the NYT blame this attack on the Labour Party for provoking the attacker by selling out their own country?
