Conor McGregor, one of the world’s most famous athletes, is standing in front of a burning bus in Dublin. Dressed in his trademark three-piece suit, he gazes into the distance as a mob — fists clenched, faces covered, petrol bombs in hand — stand behind him.
The image is a fabrication, a digitalised “artwork” posted to Twitter/X on Friday by Paul Golding, leader of the far-right political group Britain First, who has previously been convicted of religiously aggravated harassment and a terror offence.
