A reminder that everything being shared online about the Southport attacker is not real, and is being reshared by media outlets in Russia to peddle anti-migrant fears (and by IT people on LinkedIn).

The person also isn’t called Ali Al-Shakati, and did not arrive by boat.

Oh what a surprise, social media posts have lead to a riot in Southport.

Rioting is still continuing in parts of the UK due to social media posts about the Southport attacker.

People are turning up with “STOP THE BOATS” banners.

The attacker was a kid born in Wales.

I used to live just down the road from this in Liverpool. Locals burnt it down and stopped the fire brigade from putting out the fire.

Oh good, Elon’s jumped on the “stop the boats” bandwagon now.. for a killer who was born and raised in the UK.

After burning down libraries and attacking mosques, the mob have now moved onto Holiday Inns.

Somebody is going to end getting killed if this continues.

It is blatant racism and those involved and those who enable it - including Elon after unbanning Tommy and engaging with this stuff on his own platform - should feel ashamed of themselves.

The UK government have been leaning heavily on Telegram today, and they appear to have won - Telegram are booting riot planning channels. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy8497l7dx

Just over a hundred anti-immigrant protests/riots were planned in the UK today, but only a handful of people turned up to them - instead tens of thousands of anti-racism people turned up, and there’s been no violence.

One of the people jailed who posted material on Twitter to stir up racial hatred during recent unrest across the UK is being paid £1400 a month by X.

X - who can’t pay their office rent and other bills - led by Musk, who said there would be civil war in the UK, is literally paying the people who are trying to start civil war.

BBC NewsLincoln 'keyboard warrior' jailed for part in UK disorderWayne O’Rourke posted misinformation about the killing of three young girls in Southport on 29 July.

For those who don’t know, Twitter do ad revenue sharing for viral accounts nowadays - you get money from replies, so it incentivises rage bait accounts. Eg they pay Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson.

In the interests of transparency they wanted to pay me about £4K a month but I told them to get fucked.

Chaser to that one btw:

@GossiTheDog from the article "a sentencing hearing was postponed for a 12-year-old boy who admitted taking part in two separate incidents of disorder in Manchester because his mother had gone on holiday to Ibiza". Hmm I wonder what could possibly be the root problem of the boys misdeeds?
