Someone rounded up ‘British TV characters likely to be radicalised by Facebook’. How many of these 36 have they got right?

We’ve all surely had friends, colleagues and family who have been radicalised by Facebook.

One minute they’re sharing holiday snaps and posting pics of cupcakes and kittens, and then, after being served up increasingly far-right rhetoric by Facebook’s algorithms, they’re saying that ‘actually, Nigel Farage has a lot of sensible ideas’ and sharing AI photos of lions draped in England flags.

Al Elliott on Twitter has been musing on which characters from British TV would be most susceptible to this kind of radicalisation and the thread is an absolute treat.
