Double-take, # 223

The Express apparently driving the point home in February 2016 in this headline (now changed):

Link: The Express, ‘Right-wing fascists bring Liverpool to a standstill as violence erupts’

Later in the report came this gem:


Aside from the omission of the crucial hyphen (and why ‘right-wing’, but not ‘far-right’?), the verb ‘carrying out’ applied to saluting seems very odd, in a way that ‘performing’, or even ‘doing’, might not.
Right-wing fascists; carrying out far right salutes
