The headline of this article is misinformation online.

As far as I can tell, the story of a bunch of schoolchildren getting stabbed by a migrant is absolutely true. So where's the misinformation? 3 kids are dead. That's true. Where's the misinformation?

@sj_zero There was a tweet giving a name and saying the killer was an illegal, Muslim and on an MI5 watch list. It was false. The official narrative is that that was the sole cause, which is bollocks.

@sj_zero (He is actually second gen immigrant and probably of Christian background.)

Hmm! Yeah, all that is pretty important, especially if it's particularly bad information that contributed to setting off a powder keg.

@sj_zero I think it played a part, but it was a very small spark on a big, unstable keg.
