Thanks.. I found this interesting..
On July 29th, @Artemisfornow, an anti-COVID lockdown truther and verified X user, posted that the Southport attacker’s name was Ali-Al-Shakati, an asylum seeker on an MI-6 watch list. None of this was true. And @Artemisfornow was credited as the originator of the conspiracy theory by outlets like The Times Of London, but she has since said that she actually got this information from a Facebook page called Kossyderrickent, a Nigerian gossip blogger with 100,000 followers on the platform, who, in turn, wrote that he got the name from a witness at the scene. The fake name was then picked up by a viral chum site named Channel3, which is run, partially, by a team of Facebook marketers in Pakistan. And from there it was shared on X by a right-wing journalist named David Atherton and far-right soccer hooligan Tommy Robinson. Finally ending in a mob storming a local mosque in Southport.
