Here's how we at @ScotNational tracked Tommy Robinson down to his Cypriot hideaway. It all came down to clues he handed out himself. A 🧵... #OSINT

We took time over the weekend to further confirm our work and make sure we were right. In the end, we were beaten to the story by half an hour – but our work still goes to show the power of open-source investigative methods in journalism. (6/6)

We took our first step on Friday when we spotted a video of his, apparently recorded in a supermarket. On the shelves, we quickly noted all the packages were in Greek. Combined with all the prices being in Euro, we knew he was in Greece or Cyprus. (2/6)

On Friday evening, Robinson appeared on a livestream with Alex Jones, a prominent far-right figure. The background of his video showed his bedroom in full focus – a perfect match for the rooms in the resort we had identified. (5/6)

After looking at the photo galleries of every hotel on their website, we finally found a gym that matched. And after looking at over 2000 images from visitor reviews online, we felt even more confident – he was at a resort in the scenic town of Ayia Napa, Cyprus. (4/6)

I am unsurprised to see so many people unfamiliar with our journalism confused by our newspaper taking the correct stance. We will not platform hate. We know our real audience, made up of students in Edinburgh - many of whom are marginalised by this film - will appreciate that.

Regarding tonight’s screening of “Adult Human Female” on @EdinburghUni campus. @TheStudentPaper have taken the editorial decision not to cover the event as we do not believe in platforming the harmful rhetoric that will undoubtedly affect many of our student readership. 1/

Two marches are meeting George Square, the main march from Kelvingrove Park and a smaller protest which departed Queen's Park south of the Clyde around noontime. Both will continue together down High Street and on to Glasgow Green. #COP26

@EzekielOverstr1 @projectowlosint Hey, one of the editors here - the photo attached to the map is from its state a few days ago, we haven't been able to quickly find a way to change that photo. The up to date map shouldn't have a blob, so it looks like the version you can see is accurate and up to date :)

Can anybody explain what "reviewing the graduate scheme" means? Thousands upon thousands of people have made long-term decisions around trying to find work after uni on this visa. It would be utterly shameful to see it go.

Yesterday's march was peaceful, and today's seems similar up until now. However, a protest action by Extinction Rebellion members on 4 November ended with an alleged kettling by police services in Glasgow. #COP26

One real difference from today's protest compared to yesterday is the police presence. Both amidst the marchers and along the route, the number of police officers seems several times greater than yesterday. #COP26
