This isn't very good for the Government. And this was a vote on specifically one of their stronger issues, with loads of incumbents.

Didn't really know where to put this, but, fucking hell...

A young teacher who was falsely accused of saying a racist slur in a doorbell video that's gone viral has told how her life has been 'blown apart' in the onslaught of hate that followed.

The 27 year old, her voice shaking in distress, said she had been besieged with hate mail and threats as a result of a fake claim that she had used racist language. The police are investigating.

Her school, Stuart Bathurst Catholic High School in Wednesbury, was also inundated with phone calls and messages after the teacher's name, email, picture and social media accounts were shared in the online onslaught. The pile-on occurred in the wake of a widely shared doorbell video that went viral on Bank Holiday Monday.

Failed West Midlands mayor candidate Akhmed Yakoob circulated it to his 194,000-strong TikTok following and on Instagram and Twitter. He also named the young woman and her school to his followers.

I put that in the Galloway's Goons thread, I think. But yeah, it's awful.

Has Mr Yakoob apologised yet? I think he just deleted without comment.
