If you post false information, then expect to be called out. If you can post links and extracts to articles you wish to debate then expect engagement. It really is that simple. And yes, links can be posted from tablets too.

As I quoted previously, in less inflammatory versions of this story, the military would be called upon for transport and supply duties - no one (to the best of my knowledge) has shown any evidence that military personnel would be involved in riot control.
It’s an old tabloid trick - put two separate things close together, and hope readers will be fooled into thinking they are linked, thus stoking outrage/upset/whatever...

Good points. Probably also targeting the confirmation bias of its metropolitan Remain leadership in the same way that sister paper the Daily Mail plays to its majority Leave readership.
