Remember Dundee Axe Girl? A 12 year old girl was filmed brandishing an axe and a knife in Dundee, apparently defending herself from a guy with a heavy foreign accent while another girl shouted, "don’t touch my sister, she’s only 12."
At the time, the authorities said, "Don't speculate as to what this could be about."
Everyone slammed Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson for sharing dangerous, false, far-right "misinformation" that this girl was a victim, defending herself, when the authorities reported her as the aggressor and told us she'd been charged.
Then even our trustworthy heterodox commentators decided, "Well, this is clearly just a working-class child being violent and uncouth and racist and all those other working class traits that I despise. The real victim here is the poor, innocent migrant man being threatened with an axe."
Did we learn nothing from the establishment treatment of the grooming gang scandal?
Well, it looks like that girl could in fact have been defending herself from a predatory male. There's an ongoing trial - not of the girl, but of the man.
Of course, everyone is innocent until proven guilty - but regardless of the sentence, what we know now is very different from what we were told at the time.
And how unedifying for commentators who pride themselves on not following the herd to be seen ambling alongside the wildebeest at the Guardian, chewing the establishment cud.
