The Not So Curious Case in Dundee

Mark Steyn Clubbers may remember last August Mark's discussion of a case in Dundee, Scotland, where sisters were being harassed by migrants, but who were then charged by the local coppers - the girls, not the migrants. The older sister at the time, to protect her younger sister, brandished a knife and an axe. The MSM immediately came to the aid of the migrants, not the girls (ages 14 and 12).

Well, today the case was resolved - and good, ol' fashioned justice won the day. The girls - after a torturous year of media attention, legal fees and the like - have been vindicated. And now the tormentors - from Bulgaria - have been found guilty of making sexual remarks to underage girls (the charges should have more, but nevertheless...). Below is Mark's original take on the case that shouldn't have taken a boatload of detectives and judges to figure out (from Mark's "Lionhearted Lass"), with this news "flash:"

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... pic.twitter.com/OaAiJlB2LW

On Saturday, August 23, 2025, at around 7:40 p.m. in Dundee, Scotland, a fourteen-year-old girl reportedly named Sophie was filmed standing between her twelve-year-old sister and two adult men described as Islamic migrants who had been harassing them. The footage shows Sophie shouting "Don't touch my little sister, she's twelve," as she brandished a knife and a small hatchet.

... To the twelve-year-old girls listening, try to lift an axe, try to wield an axe? It's not easy. And it's not something that the twelve-year-old and the fourteen-year-old girl want to do. They're twelve and fourteen and they want to live a normal life.

And the evil British state under Sir Queer Starmer will not let these two girls live the normal lives of a twelve-year-old girl and a fourteen-year-old girl. It's beyond evil.

Queer Starmer…is appropriate

The guy and his sister look like groomers looking for new victims

There were numerous UK protests and that erupted after the death of the young student by police negligence. P/M Keir Starmer took a hardline stance ..... not against the negligence but against those protesting it.

Starmer stupidly told those involved that they were engaging in criminality rather than legitimate protest. Starmer warned that those (offended by the police negligence) participating in protests would face “the full force of the law,” including “rapid arrests, charges, and convictions.” He stated there was “no justification—none—for taking this action”.

Starmer also colluded with police leaders to coordinate a “standing army” of specialist police to act against the protesters, emphasizing that “crime is crime, and the government will tackle it.”
