Sentient roast potato Mike Graham claims he was hacked after a racist post appeared on his Facebook page. Seems like someone might have had one too many before getting the train home.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

I wouldn’t necessarily assume they are American. Looking at their bio says they were born in the UK and now live in Florida. So that’s mostly British education to blame, I think, plus American media for dessert.
