That's great he is so supportive but the way he gets treated online is appalling. On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 1:50 PM, Michael Maggs <michael(a)maggs.name> wrote:

Sadiq Khan has tweeted in our support three times in the last 24 hours. It’s a shock to read the tweets he’s had in reply, though. It seems he has a huge number of very unpleasant followers who are there solely to attack him personally.

He's both a prominent person of colour and in favour of staying in the EU. The abuse he gets online is simultaneously shocking and wholly unsurprising. 😞 On Wed, 13 Jun 2018, 14:29 Stevie Benton, <stevie.d.benton(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Well done Wikimedia UK. Someone (not me!) mentioned it at the office a few weeks ago, followed by several nods and comments along the lines of "that's a good thing to do". Events like this do a lot of positive work beyond the number of articles improved on the day. On Wed, 13 Jun 2018, 13:27 Stevie Benton, <stevie.d.benton(a)gmail.com> wrote:
