While well-meant, this post states the Southport attacker was of "non-European origin", when in fact he was born in Wales. This is a hugely important difference given the violence was specifically triggered by misinformation stating that the attacker was an immigrant. https://news.sky.com/story/boy-17-charged-after-three-girls-killed-in-southport-stabbing-attack-13188115

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/1820586142791545271

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.
