I wonder if Laurence Fox knows that in 2017 the US alt-right embraced #milk as a symbol of white supremacism, with infamous white supremacist Richard Spencer & far-right 'social media personality' Tim 'Baked Alaska' Treadstone both adding milk symbols to their Twitter profiles? ImageImageImage
Many dismiss bigoted rants on #MilkTwitter as nothing more than irony targeting the humourless PC brigade. But irony/ambiguity are used by alt-right trolls who seek to exploit Poe’s Law (it’s almost impossible to distinguish satire from sincerity online.)

Why am I bothering with this? I think winking at the far-right to appear 'edgy' is irresponsible, & 'd prefer the UK not to simply replicate the USA over the last few years. ImageImage
