Verdict: False. The image has been digitally altered, and there is no proof that The Guardian published such an article. Fact Check: A 37-year-old man was charged with arson and violent disorder after setting a bus on fire in Leeds on Thursday night, prompting police to increase their presence in the area, as reported by Sky News. The riots began after four children were taken into foster care, but they have since been returned to extended family, with a judge urging those involved to &#8220;put the children first,&#8221; according to the BBC. The image in question supposedly shows an opinion piece from The Guardian published by Cooper on July 23, with a headline stating, &#8220;Harehills is a shining light on the success of multiculturalism which we aim to replicate throughout the country.&#8221; The accompanying caption reads, &#8220;This woman should be certified.&#8221; However, this screenshot is not authentic; no such article exists on The Guardian&#8217;s website or any of its verified social media accounts. A spokesperson for The Guardian confirmed via email to Check Your Fact that the screenshot has never been an actual article or headline from the outlet. Instead of praising Harehills&#8217; &#8220;multiculturalism,&#8221; Cooper condemned the violence, stating that it &#8220;has no place in our society.&#8221; She expressed her shock at the violent incidents and thanked West Yorkshire police for their response, stating, &#8220;I am being kept regularly updated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":613,"featured_media":2309602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GettyImages-2162692269-e1721943911634.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29362],"tags":[7380,13420,36363,36361,36362],"class_list":["post-2309596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-caller","tag-misinformation","tag-fact-check","tag-home-secretary","tag-leeds-riots","tag-media-literacy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GettyImages-2162692269-e1721943911634.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/613"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
