Mini-thread. There was a meeting this weekend of people who want Ireland out of EU. A small meeting of 60 people. But online, there was a lot of accounts RTing. This is what a bot net looks like.

This is a map of what else they were tweeting about. Taking a closer look, there are groups of related themes.

One is the so-called europe wide campaigns for other countries to exit the EU

Another is the conspiracy clump - Soros (a busy man!), anti-immigration, globalist, UN population replacement blah blah blah.

And of course the obvious overlap with brexit /leave means leave / sod the irish border types.

What's it all mean? Nothing we didn't already know. There are a small amount of agitators trying to use fear & loathing to amplify their opinions across social media and tied in across europe to undermine our membership of EU

Chances are, its just one or two people running a bot net in Latvia.
Block, ignore, don't engage, don't quote tweet or screen cap them.

If you want to engage on EU issues, go to sources our trust, register to vote, get informed via multiple media sources.

Perfect timing for this article.
