Bianca Jagger, human rights activist and ex-wife of Mick Jagger, has tweeted a link to a neo-Nazi site which includes antisemitic, homophobic and racist remarks about British MPs.

Ms Jagger tweeted the link to her 54,000 followers this morning. It read: “List of UK #MPs who voted for #IraqWar - Please read it carefully, understand why they want @jeremycorbyn out RT http://ow.ly/l3oU3029pf8”

The link leads to a page on the Metapedia website. Founded by a Swedish neo-Nazi in 2006, the site describes itself as an “alternative encyclopaedia”.
