Shownotes

This week's podcast looks at the far right in Scotland and the UK.

Ali and Paul interview Jamie Mann, a fellow Ferret journalist who regularly reports on the activities of the far right.

He told us about the activities of Patriotic Alternative, a far right group which has gained a high profile attaching itself to various protests across the UK, and explained how the far right uses misinformation tactics to spread its message.

Ali and Paul also examined what has been described as the “first mass-level AI misinformation case,” a fake picture of the Pope dressed in a fancy jacket.

Show notes:

  • Our reporting on Patriotic Alternative.
  • More on the AI picture of the Pope.
