Simon Harris, the Man Behaving Dadly, Talks Satire, Fundraising and Fooling Nigel Farage

He was called out by Nigel Farage on GB News, and caused Katie Hopkins to read out complete nonsense (even more so than usual) live on her LBC radio show, but why does he do it, and how is he so good at it? Today I'm speaking to Simon Harris, who runs the hilarious Man Behaving Dadly blog and satire/fake news website Southend News Network. Both wildly successful, they've been a thorn in the side of several far-right groups and personalities, and even mainstream newspapers like The Sun, by getting them to believe and repeat some utter tosh. But it's not all just for giggles. Simon's pages have hundreds of thousands of followers, and his posts get millions of views. Best of all, his work has helped raise money for organisations like the RNLI and food banks. Hear the secret to his success, and what motivates him to keep on trolling!
