26: GRAND THEFT DEMOCRACY: Did bots buy Brexit?

This week on the no-bullshit Brexit podcast… We talk to investigative journalist MIKE HIND about how automated social media is warping democracy, and what you can do to keep the bots at bay. Plus: Why Britain should be booming now, and why it isn’t. How Labour Leave keep making progressive arguments for reactionary causes. And a nice big argument about poppy fascism.

“There’s so much stupidity out there it’s hard to tell the bots from the real people.”
