2024-07-30 13:01:05 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

News reports from 29 July (The Telegraph, The Times) and 30 July (BBC News) state that the perpetrator was born in Cardiff to Rwandan immigrant parents and moved in 2013, aged 6, to Banks, near Southport. The claim "all we know is that he was born in Cardiff" is wrong. https://archive.is/DRhSd https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/southport-knife-attack-was-like-a-horror-movie-hbkrw6shg https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cevwgqz0x41t?post=asset%3Ade534259-926c-4f8c-9884-1dda2144d678 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy68z9dw9e7o

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1818249921402646971

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
