A handful of “super polluter” publishers are mostly to blame for widespread misinformation about the climate crisis on Facebook, according to new research. Ten publishers, among them the far-right news site Breitbart, once headed by ex-Trump advisor Steve Bannon, are responsible for nearly 70 percent of climate change denial on Facebook, according to a study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The “toxic ten” include several conservative U.S. outlets and Russian state media, according to the report.

A ‘grime’ rapper from Bradford has ostensibly threatened the gang rape of one of UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage’s young daughters, Breitbart London can reveal. Lunar C – real name Jake Brook – tweeted ahead of Britain’s European Union referendum that he and “his pals” would “run a train” on Mr. Farage’s daughter. He did not specify which daughter, but Mr. Farage’s young girls are aged 9 and 15 respectively. The comment went largely unnoticed at the time, apart from a few supportive retweets from Mr. Brook’s followers. Mr. Brook has, this afternoon, reached out to Breitbart London to...

I’ve always believed that one should not speak ill of the dead – and especially someone so brutally murdered as was Jo Cox MP on Thursday. But when that dead person is being deified out of all proportion– rather as Princess Diana was after her death – by a mainstream media hand-in-glove with a prime minister who is desperate to create false hysteria in order to sway the most important decision of our generation – our vote in the EU referendum – then something has to be said, ...

The man charged with the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox has appeared in court and been remanded in custody.

Members of her family visited the scene on Saturday to read floral tributes and thank gathered crowds for their support.

At the risk of boring everyone to tears by asking the bleeding obvious, why does the liberal-left try to link the “right wing” to the murder of British MP Jo Cox, whilst fanatically disassociating Islam from any act of Islamic unpleasantness, be it anti-Semitism, homophobia, misogyny, terrorism, supremacism, subversion, beheading, electoral fraud, gang-rape, slavery, honour violence, infanticide etc etc etc? The double standards involved here are simply jaw-dropping. Most of the Islamic downsides mentioned above can be directly linked to the scriptures of Islam, but left-liberals will deny this until their last pseudo- sanctimonious breath. And, as far as I...

Angela Merkel has called on campaigners in Britain’s EU referendum debate to moderate their language ahead of next week’s vote, as political leaders and officials across Europe paid tribute to the killed Labour MP Jo Cox. The German chancellor, who described the attack on the pro-European West Yorkshire MP as “terrible” but declined to link it directly to the referendum, called for all involved to respect the beliefs and opinions of others. “Otherwise, the radicalisation will become unstoppable,” she said. “Exaggerations, and radicalisation of part of the language, do not help foster an atmosphere of respect. We know how important...

That there has been another gruesome public murder, whose details have been broadcast across the globe, is no longer a novelty, unfortunately. The fact that it was being exploited within hours by the usual cast of characters, who want to shape this horrific event into a narrative of intolerant, anti-European, anti-multicultural bigoted Britain is not surprising either. As Brendan O’Neill has pointed out in Spiked Online, the people who want to strangle what remains of British democracy have exploited this ghastly tragedy for all it’s worth-as anyone watching the BBC yesterday afternoon can attest to-and will probably only grow bolder...

We present the following comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as given earlier today and captured by AFP and Bloomberg, "as is", to not be accused of adulterating a statement which we are confident many Britons will find quite disturbing due to Merkel's attempt to politicize a tragic murder, and impart an ideological, political motive to a tragic event which as even the Guardian reported earlier, may well have been at the hands of a "mentally ill" man. * * * German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday urged British politicians to moderate the language used in their campaigns ahead of...

Remain campaign supporters are rushing to blame Brexit backers for today’s horrific attack on Labour MP Jo Cox.

There is currently no indication that the attacker was a Brexit campaigner, and reports over his shout of “Britain First” – the name of an anti-EU nationalist group – have had doubts cast upon them by Channel 5 news.
