    I “qwanted” the name to see if anything turned up, was pretty confident that his footprint would have been wiped, but somebody on twatter/eggs has put up some of it.

    EDIT - Using links instead of just the the bullet points… No grok no more.

    Joshua Kerry (28, Rotherham) described by neighbours as quiet/shy; former lift company worker, lived alone post-father’s death.

    Main trace: Signed a 2025 open letter for Jeremy Corbyn/Zarah Sultana’s “Your Party” (listed ~1505th, Rotherham, no occupation).

    Communist/Russian material reportedly found on devices/home. Counter-terror police cite targeted attack + planning; re-arrested under Terrorism Act.

    Farage states (on “good authority”) Kerry was hard-left activist who attended marches, expressed hatred of him multiple times, obsessed with Soviet communism. No specific public posts/quotes from Kerry widely reported yet. No confirmed organised group membership beyond the letter signature.

    Investigation ongoing; presumption of innocence. Details may emerge.

      You’re posting grok output as if it somehow contributes to the conversation?

        No, initially I didn’t realise it was grok output until after I posted, so I posted how and where the info came from.

        But the way it’s worded, I’m sure is very easy to look up and clarify.

        At the end of the day, ai is just a glorified search engine, often built with a bias purpose in mind, but in that instance, it’s just a search result bullet pointed.

          If it’s using factual sources to generate its answer then you should find those sources and quote those instead. The fact that it will just make stuff up that sounds plausible means that you have to do the legwork to verify every single word it outputs. If you are verifying it then presumably you’re finding sources that you can link.

      Well I assumed he was going to be unhinged. Obviously you shouldn’t go around murdering people, even people you don’t like, but if you are going to go around murdering people you don’t like, you should probably start with a more worthy target than Widdecombe who let’s be honest, has never been exactly politically relevant.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
