Telegraph: UK Govt Panics, Slams Breitbart London as ‘Fake News’, ‘Dangerous’
Breitbart London ^ | 10/20/17

Posted on 10/20/2017 3:42:38 PM PDT by markomalley

The Daily Telegraph has reported the remarks of Damian Green, one of the most senior members of the government, as he used a speech to assembled members of the mainstream media to attack new media outlets including Breitbart News.

The Telegraph reports:

‘Fake news’ spread by websites could result in another MP being murdered, Theresa May’s effective deputy Damian Green has warned. Mr Green, the First Secretary of State, said that websites which spread bile had to think more about “who is reading it and what are they going to do next”.

The Cabinet Minister warned that that websites that only present one side of the story risked “feeding an atmosphere of increasing hatred which at the most horrible of extremes led to the killing of Jo Cox”.

Labour MP Ms Cox was knifed to death days before the European Union referendum in June last year. A extreme rightwing terrorist was sentenced to prison for life in November for the murder.

Mr Green singled out websites such as Breitbart, The SkwawkBox and The Canary for particular criticism in a speech to journalists at a lunch organised by the Parliamentary Press Gallery.

Maybe more of their pro-Jihad politicians need to meet their maker sooner rather than later.

People are stipid, that’s why we lie to them.

Coming to an end.

Actually, I agree with him, but it's much more true of the MSM than of Breitbart.

UK stands for “un-knowledgeable.”
