## Key points

- The London Post published over 25,000 stories without individual bylines.
- The article alleges it is part of a Kremlin-linked “pink slime” network.
- Ordinary local stories may help disguise political messaging.

## Summary

The London Post presents itself as a local news site, publishing everyday community stories alongside flattering profiles of figures such as “Sir Patrick Bijou”. The article says Bijou is the assumed name of Eric Danison, a fraudster jailed over a £14 million property scam, and alleges the site is part of a wider “pink slime” network used to promote Kremlin interests. The concern is that sites designed to look like ordinary local news can quietly shape political debate and undermine trust in news.

The London Post has published more than 25,000 stories since 2017, but none carries an individual journalist’s byline; its articles are attributed to “LDN-Post”. The article also points to a disconnected tipline and unrelated or questionable features, including a list of Ukrainian dating websites and profiles of people whose businesses had been struck off. It describes “pink slime” as a term for low-quality news content mixed with political propaganda, and says the network also featured far-Right activist Tommy Robinson.
