So, this is a very interesting little account, which to my eye simply doesn't add up.

Here's Matilda.

Matilda doesn't follow a single account - this is unusual to say the least.

Created March 30 2019 11:02 but didn't tweet until April 1st 08:41

Nothing very eye-catching about schedule or content.

Hardly any tweets on file, very low output.

No links or references to her stated profession in bio in her tweets though. Usually "consultants" like this link to events, semiinars, confs & so on.

2/5
But some really extraordinary content from Matilda.

Almost, you might say, an extremely Daily Mail vision of the worst kind of "leftist", perhaps ?

A "Socialist" who hates & despises the working classes.

Typical woke ...

Some of you may have been peering closely at her avi.

Well ...

4/5
I don't think this is a "parody".

I think this is an attempt to create an image of a genuine-looking "leftist" that might attract naive genuine accounts as followers/retweeters, or indeed generate engagement from the right to confirm their prejudices.

Who might do this?

5/5
Couple of extra observations:

~ Quite a few of this acct's followers are pretty rabid rw &/or terf accounts
~ There is NOTHING to indicate this is a "bot".
~ We cannot tell who or what entities might be running this acct: Could be Vlad, or Xi, or just Kevin from Northampton
You can follow @botvolution.
