Conspiracy theory movement more generally, the uk's head of counter—terrorism policing, mattjukes, has told the bbc they are currently seeing evidence of conspiracy theories being interwoven with extremism and that this connection is very much on their radar as investigators. telegram has not responded to the bbc�*s request for comment. the light's editor says he isn't in charge of its telegram channels, although he acknowledges it is directly linked to the paper. various posts are signed off by him and the paper's team. i felt the hate of the movement first—hand with abuse posted on soc...

In some circumstances, violence could be justified at one of the rallies or protests. so it's a very small proportion of people, but a larger, perhaps, than we were expecting proportion of people from the survey who attend those rallies. the nature of the conspiracy theories that people engage with are different, they're qualitatively different in the sense that they don't just require you to accept information passively, but you are almost obligated to take part, to do something. and that call for action, that call for participation, which is embedded in lots of the things say that you read i...
