I cannot believe the extent of the anti-migrant misinformation out there at the moment, and it's getting worse all the time. On X this week in the wake of the Dundee incident it's the worst I've ever seen. Active calls for people to take up arms against migrants all over my feed
The situation gets worse every day. It's also grim seeing some journalists lean into the hatred for clicks, then cowardly putting house bylines on these stories instead of their own. If you know how bad it is, don't write it in the first place. It's not hard.
I've probably faced more abuse this week than I have covering any other story. Lots about me being a traitor etc but probably most seriously, threatening messages. You'll get what's coming, we're coming for you etc, from the men "defending women and girls". You have to laugh
All of this has only reinforced why we needed to do this series. And why it resonated with so many people. That's what I will remember from this project, not the flag obsessed, miserable weirdos in my mentions 😊

Is this on Android? And is it when you're trying to use it in a private browser?
Yes. I just followed the link on my Pixel phone when connected to my home WiFi.
Will flag to the IT team!
Don't mention flags for FFS!
It’s amazing how men who care so much about protecting women and girls turn vicious on us when we don’t agree with them, isn’t it?
