National Trust staff 'bullied' after Brimham Rocks TikTok video goes viral
The National Trust has said staff at Brimham Rocks have been subjected to bullying and harassment after a TikTok mobile DJ labelled them as "Karens" in his latest video.
DJ Zach Sabri, better known online as SUAT, claims he is “just trying to make the world dance” by blasting out rave music in unusual places.
