Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee.
She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone.
Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the “far-right” were whipping up ‘anti-migrant hate’.
People like @HumzaYousaf & many more called it ‘bullsh*t’.
Many, including people like @jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her ‘hatred’, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the ‘liar’ they were talking about, was.
A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she’d use the money to buy “machetes and IronBru”
She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.
She wasn’t ‘hate-filled’, she was scared.
Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too.
The man and his sister were prosecuted.
How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection.
How shameful that adults will deny their reality.
How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes.
Shame on you all.
I’ll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar.
I won’t hold my breath…
I hope this girl is ok.

🚨 Breaking - Britain’s economy went backwards in April.
📉 GDP fell 0.1%
🏪 Services fell 0.2%
🏭 Production was flat
🏗️ Construction rose just 0.1%
Rachel Reeves promised growth.
Instead, the economy is stalling.
How much longer can Labour blame everyone else?
@KateEMcCann Well, I’d argue it does exist but the PM is not prepared to reallocate it. As @afneil said this morning, there’s £40bn a year in carbon capture funding that could be made available.
So much of John Healey’s resignation letter is damning but lines that should really worry those inside government trying to make changes and those outside hoping for them?
That despite a war in Ukraine, a war in Iran, cyber threats, unpredictable allies, the impact of energy and resource insecurity on the U.K., this Prime Minister made promises he knew he could not keep and shut his own well-respected Defence Secretary out of the process to agree funding for the DIP to try and push through something inadequate and save his own political blushes.
In the same week he welcomed Macron, Mertz and Zelensky to Downing Street to stand in front of flags and promise unwavering commitment, knowing the money to pay for it didn’t exist.
Country being held ransom by a dribbling sunshine bus of Labour MPs who would rather spend a third of a trillion on benefits for foreigners than an extra pound on defending what's left of the country.
