Ark Schools has backed its chair Sir Paul Marshall, the Conservative party donor and media mogul, after he was accused of liking and sharing far-right extremist posts and conspiracy theories on social media.
The News Agents podcast and Hope Not Hate, a charity opposing far-right extremism, reported last week Marshall had retweeted and liked content “which is on the most extreme end of political opinion about Islam” from a private account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Marshall liked posts including one that stated the “native European population is losing patience with fake refugee invaders”, the investigation found.
They said he also liked another post that stated: “There has never been a country that has remained peaceful with a sizeable Islamic presence. Why do our leaders believe Britain would be an exception to that rule? Once the Muslims get to 15 to 20 per cent of the population the current cold civil war will turn hot.”
