A 12-year-old girl from Dundee, armed with a large kitchen knife and a miniature axe, is being celebrated online as a symbol of resistance against mass non-white immigration or as emblematic of the increase in crime, violence and underage rape that it seems to have caused. The girl must protect herself from this because, as Graham Linehan tweeted, the girl has realised “there are no adults in the room.” She is filmed, apparently by a Middle Eastern immigrant, referring to his kind as “fucking kid bashers” while her older sister, crying rather than angry, demands the man “don’t fucking touch my little sister, she’s fucking twelve.”
