Online bullying and the English Defence League
The Cyber-bullies known as “the Cheerleaders” have apparently decided to widen the range of people whose home addresses they believe ought to be made known to hostile elements. As I’ve blogged numerous times, a few months ago they published the blogger Tim Ireland’s home address with the stated intent that he should be forced to “go back to Australia”, and yesterday a “Cheerleader” who uses name “Shooter Kirpachi” decided to use the same strategy against Carl Morphett, who is prominent in anti-BNP activism. “Shooter” revealed Morphett’s address and car registration details on the “Cheerleadered” (sic) Facebook page, although a few hours later she reluctantly removed them. The details about the car mean that she must have got her information from the neo-fascist website Redwatch.
