National Lottery Twitter campaign hijacked by trolls. An attempt to thank the British public for supporting UK athletes at the World Championships has backfired as vile trolls hijacked the campaign to post disgusting slogans. The National Lottery asked people on Twitter to retweet its #Represent post celebrating the achievement of athletes including the men's and women's relay teams over the weekend, with anyone obliging being 'rewarded' with a special thank you tweet featuring an athlete holding up a sign with their name on.

But it led to dozens of users changing their names to those of criminals or to racist or otherwise offensive phrases, with the Lottery profile inundated with crass replies.

Vile trolls ruined a National Lottery Twitter campaign to thank UK fans at the World Athletics Championships by using rude phrases and making light of serious issues such as the disappearance of Madeleine Mc. Cann. The campaign was supposed to work by re- tweeting the Lottery's post which would lead to an athlete showing a Twitter profile username - leading to some people changing them to cause deliberate offense Some even made sickening jokes such as this one about the death of cancer sufferer Bradley Lowery, six. It comes months after a Walkers Crisps online campaign ended in similar fashion when the company invited the public to send in selfies to be held up in a tweet by ambassador Gary Lineker, only for mischievous users to send in photos of criminals and despots instead.

For decades, photo and video equipment was designed and tested with only white subjects in mind. Lighting darker skin tones takes a different approach than lighting.

Sick trolls hijack Twitter campaign for athletes to thank National Lottery players for their support by getting stars to hold up hugely offensive signs. Mike Fahey.

The National Lottery appear to have set up an automated system to upload the name cards, meaning it has been unable to filter out the rude entries. Some of them made light of the deaths of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and even cancer sufferer Bradley Lowery, six. Others replaced their names with criminals including Josef Fritzl or called themselves 'White supremacist' while the search for Madeleine Mc. Cann has also been targeted for abuse. It has led to a furious reaction on social media, with many criticising those who took advantage of the Lottery's campaign. It has led to a furious reaction on social media, with many criticising those who took advantage of the Lottery's campaign. Lottery chiefs were alerted to the hijacking late on Monday and by the early hours of Tuesday the offensive Tweets had been deleted, although screen grabs of them continued to circulate. One user said: '@TNLUK you need to close down that account pronto.. Another said: 'What's stupid is that Walkers already had a similar PR nightmare earlier this year.'Chris Williams added: 'Companies don't learn, someone naive enough to sign this off as a good idea.'Much like a previous campaign gone wrong by Walkers Crisps, many chose to change their usenames to those of criminals such as Josef Fritzl.

Margaret Thatcher was also targeted by sick trolls more than four years after her death. Some vile pranksters even posted abhorrent abuse about the Hillsborough disaster which caused the deaths of 9. And David Moore said: '@TNLUK are learning a valuable lesson about auto- replies and the need to filter them.' The #Represent campaign was intended to thank National Lottery players for their role in funding British athletes through the Lottery's Good Causes funds, which hands out tens of millions of pounds each year to help stars achieve medal success. A spokesperson for Camelot, which runs the Lottery, told Mail. Online: 'We are aware that some people are maliciously targeting our British Athletics Twitter campaign with offensive and abhorrent content.'We are dealing with this as quickly as possible and are hugely sorry for any offence caused by this malicious act.' A similar incident occurred when Walkers Crisps encouraged fans to send in selfies earlier this year with the promise Gary Lineker would hold them up, only for people to send in pictures of criminals such as Jimmy Savile, pictured. Others used pictures of convicted paedophile footballer Adam Johnson, and many last night criticised the Lottery for falling into the same trap. Watch Max Payne HIGH Quality Definitons more.

Watch Jason Kessler, Organizer Behind Disastrous White Supremacist Rally, Get Run Out of His Own Press Conference. At a press conference on Sunday, angry citizens ran off Jason Kessler, the organizer of a disastrous rally for white supremacists, neo- Nazis and other members of the so- called alt right in Charlottesville, Virginia that ended in mass violence this weekend. Local paralegal Heather Heyer died and dozens were injured after suspected member of neo- Nazi group Vanguard America ran over counter- protesters with his car, while two police officers died in a helicopter crash. The hundreds of event attendees staged brawls in the streets with anti- racist activists while guarded by rifle- toting militiamen, all largely with impunity from the police. So yeah, there might be a reason Charlottesville simply wasn’t interested in whatever Kessler has to say. According to a video posted by WVIR- TV’s Henry Graff, members of the crowd chanted “shame” as Kessler approached the podium. Kessler, for what it’s worth, seemed to be doing his best to incite the crowd.“Today I just want to come before you, and I want to tell you the story of what really happened before this narrative is allowed to continue spinning out of control,” Kessler started his vile statement.

The hate that you hear around you? That is the anti- white hate that fueled what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday was the result of Charlottesville police officers refusing to do their job.”“I disavow anything that led to folks getting hurt,” Kessler continued. It is a sad day in our constitutional democracy when we are not able to have civil liberties like the First Amendment.

That’s what leads to rational discussion and ideas breaking down and people resorting to violence.”That sounds an awful lot like a threat of continued violence if white supremacists don’t get their way thinly veiled as an appeal to discourse, and Charlottesville residents seemed more than done listening. In a video tweeted by Buzz. Feed News’ Blake Montgomery, the crowd swarmed the podium. Subsequent photos and videos showed Kessler being rushed away by police in body armor.“Her name was Heather, sir!” a man shouted at Kessler as he was escorted to a police station. Her name was Heather, Jason. Her blood is on your hands .. Of course, Kessler didn’t have anything else to say for himself worth hearing.

In a subsequent video posted by journalist Brook Silva- Braga, he responded to the question about the death by again saying the real cause was the “denial of First Amendment rights” to him and his compatriots. Kessler also denied any personal responsibility whatsoever for what occurred, saying “I don’t know what happened.”.
