The Rochdale Herald is a satirical website founded in June 2016.

Supposedly based in Rochdale, UK, many of its articles lampoon news stories and public figures from around the world.

In December 2016, Paul Golding, the leader of extreme-right political party Britain First was jailed for eight weeks after breaching a High Court ban on him entering any mosque in England and Wales.

The Rochdale Herald was quick to capitalise on this by creating a JustGiving page to raise funds for The Refugee Council, effectively encouraging people to sponsor his jail term to raise money for charity.
