So ‘Sophie of Dundee’ has been vindicated. The Scots girl who was so sickeningly defamed by the digital left stands exonerated. ‘Liars!’, cried creeps across the internet when the girl and her friends said they had no choice but to defend themselves from a foul-mouthed, abusive migrant male. Yet now we know they were telling the truth.
The image of this girl that went viral really was extraordinary. The events took place on a street in Dundee in August 2025. A grainy still from smartphone footage showed one of the girls holding up a knife and an axe. Her face is etched with terror. This was clearly a child in distress. Her name has never been released – because she’s a minor – but the internet christened her ‘Sophie of Dundee’.
Some championed her. She became a symbol of innocent defiance. See what the migrant crisis has done to our kids, they cried: it has forced them to take the law into their own hands against iffy men from afar. But others insulted the girls. Armies of haters said it was ‘Sophie’ who was the brute. They called her a chav. There were classist barbs about Irn Bru. It was child abuse dressed up as social criticism.
‘Sophie’ wasn’t lying. That has now been established at Dundee Sheriff Court. This week a Bulgarian man, Ilia Belov, was found guilty of making sexual remarks to the girls. The court heard that he said ‘Hello sexy, I’ll show you a good time’. The girls called him a ‘creep’ – good on them – at which point he became angry. He called his sister, Nadjedzha Belova, for back-up, and then things got really ugly.
Nadjedzha arrived and assaulted one of the girls. She pulled her hair, dragged her to the ground and struck her on the head. The girl’s mother said it was ‘heartbreaking’ to see her daughter being ‘dragged about’ in the CCTV footage shown in court. The court sheriff was clear about where the blame for this awful incident lay: ‘the trigger for all of this were the comments you made’, he said to Ilia.
The digital mobbing of these girls, especially ‘Sophie’, added to the upset of their families. After the verdict, one of the girl’s mothers said: ‘They were telling the truth and they were slandered.’
First they were subjected to disgusting sexual remarks from an adult male, then they were bombarded with cruel abuse from strangers on the internet. The salt of classism rubbed into the wound of sexual harassment. --->READ MORE HERE

The hatchet-wielding Scottish girl was right, and her detractors were wrong. But there’ll be no apologies from the British elite.
Last August, there was a shocking news story about a 12-year-old Scottish girl who pulled a hatchet and knife on an immigrant in Dundee. A video clip of the hatchet-wielding girl, with other terrified and angry girls shouting at the man to leave them alone, went viral.
The story made international headlines. The girl in the video was dubbed “Sophie of Dundee,” and for some, she became a symbol of everything that has gone wrong in Britain: a working-class child in an impoverished, post-industrial city, harassed by a predatory migrant man, reduced to carrying crude weapons to defend herself, abandoned by the institutions and authorities that were supposed to protect her. The whole tragic story of Britain was contained in that one video. I wrote at the time that these kinds of incidents, and the refusal of political leaders to acknowledge or take them seriously, were driving Britain toward civil war.
But plenty of others, including many in the corporate press and even the police and political leaders in Dundee, saw nothing more than a group of racist little guttersnipes threatening a migrant man simply because of the color of his skin. Indeed, the police initially arrested the girl for carrying a bladed weapon and issued statements saying that what was being shared on the internet was wrong, that the migrant man and his adult sister were the victims, not the girls.
Powerful politicians and major media figures mocked the story of the girls being attacked by a migrant as racist “propaganda slop,” and those who spread the story as “far-right.” The entire intellectual establishment, reacting instinctively with classist prejudice, accused anyone who supported the girls as “scum.”
But it turns out the story was true. The man, a 22-year-old Bulgarian named Ilia Belov, has been found guilty of sexually harassing and assaulting the girls. His sister, 20-year-old Nadjedzha Belova, previously pled guilty to assaulting a 13-year-old girl “by seizing and pulling her hair, dragging her to the ground, and striking her on the head to her injury during the incident.”
All of this came out in court, where the judge heard that the man had approached the girls and said, “Hello, sexy, I’ll show you a good time.” When the girls rebuffed him, he called his sister, who arrived shortly afterward and attacked one of the girls. Amid that confrontation, “Sophie” pulled out the hatchet and knife. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
