When conservative group Turning Point launched in Britain, things did not go entirely to plan.

Good to see the normally Leftist BBC providing some balance. We are a sovereign nation and if we want to openly admire Hitler it's our God given right. After all, we won the war.

are you complete suckers, or a willing part of the propaganda machine?

That's the conservative one who say hitler's only problem was the genocide outside of Germany.

BBC has become the Mail with a better budget.

Not students. Stop peddling fake news for a change.

None of the people involved are students, but don't let that stop the BBC supporting them.

How can a broadcaster with access to google in 2019 be this easily duped, incredible tbh

Not a student movement, lads. A few seconds of cursory research would've told you that

What do TurningPointUK have to say about this ?

BBCPolitics young tories-ghastly

These are not students and it's not a movement. It's another right wing load of astroturf bollocks.

a movement needs more than a few people funded by yanky m/billionaires

It's not a movement you credulous fools

That’s less a story and more a take down piece. Poor from the BBC.

Nazi excuser...

Not a student movement and you’re now on the side of people literally saying hitler wasn’t that bad.

A ‘Student Movement’ in the same way your choice of headline is a ‘Bowel Movement’

Freedom is coming!

It's not a student movement you shameless propagandists.

Not a battle, more of a joke Not British, an import from American billionaires Not students, all their people are well past uni Not a movement, it's a bunch of paid PR reps being flown in

Got to love all the peacfull needy left wing being all aggressive spitting out hate and calling all right wing supporters fascist.whos the nasty ones here ?

It’s not a student group tho is it? It’s an ultra-nationalist US propaganda machine.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Not a 'student movement' - a well-funded group of proto-fascists whose American comms director thinks what Hitler did was pretty damned fine apart from his globalist vision. So...nah...

Are they students or is this a lie?

I had a bigger movement after my morning coffee.

Thanks for the publicity! It's really overwhelming that the BBC have given so much attention to our real and organic movement that we work on in our spare time between essays

Fucking embarrassing this lads

If I were a BBC journalist I would simply ask questions like ‘who funds your US-based astroturfing effort?’ and ‘why do powerful members of this movement openly support white nationalists?’

I hope it's yourself you're trying to convince with that headline! We're certainly not buying it.

Most of those that were taking the pi were individuals whom you (MSM) would label Far Right.

Dissolve the BBC

Not British, not new, not students, not a movement

Why are you such incredible dupes

It is deeply depressing how easily the BBC are gamed by the Right.

Fact checks of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point

The bbc just absolutely loves fascism, doesn’t it

Not a movement you fawning hacks

Not a movement, not created by students. Really elementary stuff BBC. 🙄

'student' 'movement'

They’re not students and it’s not a movement, please, I’m begging you, be less credulous

Not a movement.

They're not students, they're funded by Tory donors and backed by right wing orgs in the US.

A student movement that is comprised of no students, and isn't a movement. Masterful reporting, truly.

It’s funded by Americans and they’re not students. Correct this tweet

BBCWorld they're not students. It's not a movement. It's a group of trump supporting racist imbeciles

great journalism

The twitter puritans are busy today.

It's an AstroTurf movement funded by far right billionaires BBC is promoting evil people and misrepresenting what they are

You do have researchers at the bbc ?

I'm not so sure this is a 'student movement' - who is funding them? And will they - or rather those who fund them, be setting up a UK university 'Professor Watchlist'?

I smell a BBC hatchet job

It is neo-Nazi - its leaders believe Hitler was 'a good dude until he started to go global' and the fucking TonyHallBBCDG and his chronies RobBurl think it needs a good piece of BBC promotion so it can recruit many more members in our universities

It's not a 'movement'! It's a handful of people funded by very rich men *in order to* exploit the utterly abysmal, lazy journalism that will give them attention.

Block on sight

Portraying a clearly astroturfed front as a 'movement' is quite literally propaganda.

It's an ultranationalist group, please call it what it is.

Checkout far right Turning Point for the next generation of BBC 'journalists' and political presenters

They're holocaust minimisers.

Usual free publicity for questionable organisations by the worst bbc

And you ignore THIS?

BBCPolitics They seem to have been judged before a week of existing. And not based on what they have said or done, but based on what the Guardian says they might think.

BBCPolitics

Of course the second a youth group establish themselves as thinking differently to expected they are labelled far right and mocked by the BBC. It is ok for kids to have a conservative viewpoint, it is a good thing for them to want to be successful, not just a cog in a machine.

BBCPolitics Stop advertising it, this is just free publicity now. Same happened in the referendum.

BBCPolitics I think this is the lot that think hitler's probem was one of being too enthusiastic location-wise ? If so, I saw some spokesperson spouting incoherent and ahistorical gibberish.

BBCPolitics Probably a bowel movement 😷

BBCPolitics They are a racist nationalist group unless you are now saying that's what Conservatives have become.

Their US parent organisation literally supports Nazism. Why are you continuing to take their claims at face value?

“Student movement”

It hasn't gone well for the NUS who are trying to stave off bankruptcy, the members are on the hook for 5 million quid due to financial incompetence.

There's a protest over gold stolen by Britain you're not covering.

I think 'student movement' might be a bit disingenuous. Unless of course far right organisations from the USA backed by crazy millionaires are now defined as student movements?

Breaking: fakenewsbbc

Oh hey it's Charlie Kirk peepin' in the urinal

'Student movement' 😂😂😂

They stole the name from a UK homeless charity. Disgusting.

Why is this well-funded publicity drive on behalf of right wing US groups being bogged-up as a UK “student movement”?

You don't appear to be reporting on France?

10 fascists do not a movement make

Liberals cannot do memes well at all!!!

Think you'll find it's a hate filled dodgy funded far right group imported from America. Of course the BBC know this and immediately gave them a platform as they did with other far right lowlife.

Do students move?

idiot students. I thought that when I was one 40 years ago.

Young people are not stupid! They will be able to see this so-called ‘movement’ for what it is - a sham!

when the likes of reece smugg and nigel back such an egregious bunch of wealthy students you know they will be long on fake news and short on compassion. the likes of reece smugg thinks compassion is walking past a homeless person and telling him to get a job-R/W judgement

Trust the BBC to put negative spin on this story, campuses are over run with libs, so you want to help crush any change

The US branch seems to employ a holocaust denier as a spokesperson

They are not a student organisation, why is the bbc promoting this

More like a bowel movement 🤣🤣🤣

Not a student movement.

You forgot the part where candace Owens said hitler wasn’t bad until he left germany

Why is the BBC reporting tweets?

It's not a Student Movement, it's a bunch of Hitler Apologists

These memes are hilarious.

Not related to this -but a question. I can’t find any coverage of the Gilets Jeunes in France - not on BBC UK or BBC World news - has France disappeared?

Look up Candace Owens’ comments on Adolf Hitler. Tells me all I need to know about this organisation.

I support TPointUK

Yeah, not a 'student movement' a well funded, established US group intent on infiltrating campuses.

Charlie Kirk is just Ben Shapiro with a sixhead.

Astroturf comes to mind, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for to do that digging. 😏

And the good old will do the standard hit piece, blah blah blah. I hear the upcoming Panorama will be interesting, for all the wrong reasons 🤣🤣🤣

I've heard there are lots of parody account but it's honestly really hard to tell.

So they got attacked on twitter, that’s new...

Except it's not a student movement, is it. It is just the latest PR organ for a few self-interested self-indulgent Millionaire/Billionaires who throw a few of their tax avoided $s at it and then media outlets like you are exploited by editorial staff with their hands out.

Battle? Don’t you mean “debate”? Oh wait, we don’t have debates at unis anymore.

Any news on what’s happening in France?

Its not a battle, it is a rout.

This isnt a 'student movement', its a movement run and funded by right wing dark money aimed at people student age. There is a difference.

Good to see more young people waking up to the failure of the left. Maybe the future is bright after all.

Will you be giving them endless free promotion the way you promoted Farage?

They showed up and immediately said Hitler's real mistake was being a ''globalist''. Rather than, y'know... the genocide

Oh, sir, that's wonderful.

Those indoctrination centers posing as schools are no doubt squirming at the thought of being challenged. Good!
