Extremism experts have warned that far right figures and conspiracy theorists are attempting to “piggyback” on demonstrations against Wales’ new 20mph default speed limit.

The warning comes as leaked messaged reveal plans by right wing activists to march through Cardiff later this month in protest against the new speed limit and several conspiracy theories.

An invitation obtained by Nation.Cymru was shared by right wing group, Banners on Bridges via the encrypted messaging service Telegram.

Sadly, the lunatics are hijacking the conversation about legitimate traffic issues in and around Cardiff. Any time you want to talk about haphazardly placed cycle lanes, and bus lanes, or how traffic flows through the city. You get people chiming in about 20mph limits and 15 minutes cities. Then you’ve lost the conversation to the same people who said vaccines would kill us all and that the earth is flat.
