I’ve noticed 2 Facebook groups claiming to be The Brexit Party. One has 60k followers, the other 20K.
It’s quite obvious that the 20K one is fake. They’re not even attempting to use the official logo, but it goes a lot deeper.
It’s getting further and further right wing in its posts and it’s becoming quite clear now that it’s a propaganda stunt to discredit the real party. The real party are keen to appeal to all Brexit voters from all walks of life. Only one of the groups is following this ideology.
It’s been reported several times, guess what Facebook have done about it?
Yep, fuck all.
Look it up and you’ll see what I mean. Both with the same name, both claiming to be official, clearly the smaller page is a deliberate attempt to make the party look as right wing if not more, than UKIP.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the non story that, on launch day, 'Nigel' (read for that the party administrators) had failed to register the domain name 'brexitparty.com' so it had been "hijacked" by some remainer faction or other.

Not necessarily a ploy by a Remain faction. It could equally be a ploy by the Brexit Party to appeal to a 'wider' audience whilst not actually admitting it. Smoke and mirrors....

No, the .com is nothing to do with Facebook.
"Thebrexitparty.com" is just the usual snowflakes discrediting anything which doesn't want to be part of the Federal States of Europe. It's this person behind it.
https://www.facebook.com/ledbydonkeys
Facebook have total control over what is viewable on their platform and should be removing the fake site, having been asked several times now.
This inaction makes it quite clear of their agenda, at a time when they've come under a lot of criticism from the government over fake news. Remember Zukkenburg being asked to talk to parliament over fake news? It seems fake propaganda over anything related to Farage or Robinson etc is somehow untouchable.

As many as it takes, if it makes a difference between customers reaching and not reaching me. I could also hire someone with legal expertise so I can be protected from jokers on trademark/copyright grounds. In other words, I could do it the grown up, professional way.
Alternatively I can throw a tantrum and scream that it's all THEIR fault. THEY hurt me. THEY are bad, THOSE whiny snowflakes, poor strong and stable me, boohoohoo. Perhaps this way I will succeed  |
Facebook control Facebook, nobody else does Tarquin.
The domain name thing is a separate issue and not exclusive to The Brexit Party as you're suggesting. I showed you the exact same equivalent .com addresses for your beloved Labour party and the Tories are advertising Scottish hotels.
The difference here, is that if the fake Facebook page was a Labour, Lib Dem or Tory page, it would be taken down almost instantly. Why then, are Facebook not only twisting the search engine to point to the fake site with the most obvious search term, but also ignoring the reports?
How come there are no fake pages if you search for "Labour Party" or "The Labour Party"? Do you think nobody has tried to setup a fake page, or Facebook are once again applying their self entitled selective moral and political agenda again? Something they've already been pulled up for by government.

Searching for "The Brexit Party" gives this:
https://i.imgur.com/wmSft2Y.png
If they're bothered about thebrexitparty.com then it shouldn't be too hard for them to find out who's running it. If I can find most of the details out in 20 minutes then Farage can get internet detectives of his own to find all the necessary pieces of the puzzle to show who's running the site.
All their other websites have the text saying they're registered with The Electoral Commission and who the name of their campaign. Not having that text on thebrexitparty.com could be their downfall. |

So there's a point in there somewhere is there? Is that also so small we can't see it either?
You're comparing two official sites for parties around since before the Internet, with a site advertising Scottish Hotels. What relevance does this have to a party launched last week?

Or, crazy idea I know, but maybe platforms like Facebook won't tolerate fake pages impersonating the Labour party or Tories, even more so since parliament called them in for a "chat" about fake news?
But, lets not forget that Facebook have taken it upon themselves to decide what political figures we should and shouldn't hear and they really don't like political figures who don't follow their leftie agenda.
Like all the alt-right figures they're banning all over the world, whilst tolerating hate speech from Muslims and far left groups. It's pretty obvious they're now forcing their agenda on people, much like the rest of the MSM, like Al Beeb, Channel 4 and even ITV now.

Out of the ties of the EU, we stand way more chance of striking trade deals with countries which matter to us. Countries where we do the majority of our exporting, the rest of the world.
It's quite telling that within the EU, the only single country with an economy worth a pot to piss in, that we have a trade surplus with, is sodding Ireland. All of the other economies of note, flog us way more shit than they buy from us.
