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 āfar-rightā were whipping up āanti-migrant hateā.
People like
@HumzaYousaf & many more called it ābullsh*tā.
Many, including people like
@jdpoc while calling her a liar & talking about her āhatredā, showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the āliarā they were talking about, was.
A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting sheād use the money to buy āmachetes and IronBruā
She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.
She wasnāt āhate-filledā, 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.
Iāll 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 wonāt hold my breathā¦
I hope this girl is ok.
