It was a wet, blustery day in Birmingham and Shahid Butt was on the street broadcasting to TikTok. “‘So many hate comments, brave keyboard warriors’,” he said, looking at his phone, which was standing on a tripod outside a pizza shop. “I know, bro. What can I say? I mean, you know, we’re here. We’re live. I’m standing here. Come and say it to my face instead of giving me the big one on the old keypad.” 



Butt, who is a tall, broad man, had been forced to bend a little to look into the camera.
