As @sarahmanavis's excellent piece on the BBC's shitposting own goal explains, I think/fear that someone there read my @NewStatesman story on the Tories' Get Brexit Done ads (which was shitposting to bait RTs) and got the wrong end of the stickhttps://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2019/11/what-is-shitposting-and-why-does-it-matter-bbc-brexitcast-laura-kuenssberg-got-it-wrong …
thank you chris! and i think anyone who actually read your piece would understand this tbh (i think the people who just saw everyone tweeting it and didn't take the time to actually read could have ended up in this situation 
)
