Hi @Nigel_Farage - I shot the video you've posted here, and explained in my Twitter thread that the protest was about about cold, cramped conditions and access to medical attention for vulnerable people. You've copied the footage, and told a blatant lie. https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1328746839177392130
The original video was lifted from my Twitter feed without permission or attribution by @Kent_Online, then picked up by you. I know exploitative falsehoods come easily to you, but this one is so clear and obvious that even you must feel somewhat embarrassed by it.
For clarity, here's the original video and Twitter thread explaining the circumstances behind the impromptu protest at Napier Barracks on Monday. Neither I nor anyone else reporting on this ever heard mention of 'four-star hotels and trips to Anfield' https://twitter.com/hackneylad/status/1328395141229531137
It's just another tiny, insignificant assault on the truth to add to the giant, sprawling pile of bullshit the hard-right trades in - but the falsehood on this occasion is *so* stark and obvious that it's a useful reminder of how serial grifters like @Nigel_Farage tend to operate
. @Kent_Online have apologised to me and updated their story to acknowledge the source of the video - I'm grateful to them. @Nigel_Farage is still @Nigel_Farage.
