A FAR-RIGHT group operating in Scotland has been condemned for exploiting the coronavirus by attempting to use social media to sell terrorist merchandise to “raise funds for the NHS.” 

The Loyalist Defence League (LDL) has been removed by social media platform Facebook after posting content which breached community standards by showing “support or praise for terrorist organisations.” 

Organisers from the LDL posted photographs of flags with the logo of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) printed on them, which they were offering for sale on their page.
