Why is the far-right spreading disinformation about French unrest?

For Fact's Sake - A podcast by The Ferret

Images and videos of the unrest in France have dominated international news in recent weeks. But many of the claims shared on social media about the protest have been false and deliberately misleading. Ali and Paul spoke to Sam Doak, fact checker at Logically Facts, about how and why this disinformation is being spread by far-right activists in the UK. Elsewhere on the For Fact's Sake podcast, Ali fact checks Mhairi Black MP, who has announced she will stand down, and we look into whether Orkney really wants to join Norway.
