In case you aren't familiar with recent events in Southport, a 17-year-old was arrested after committing a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, which resulted in the deaths of three children and left five others in critical condition. This is obviously horrifying. The police have not disclosed the 17-year-old’s background or even his name. It is speculated that the reasons for withholding this information are as follows:
1. The individual has not yet been charged, so there is still a reasonable expectation of privacy for the suspect.
2. The individual is a minor and thus entitled to anonymity.
Whether you agree with this or not is not my main concern at the moment. I am disgusted by the Far Right’s use of this tragedy to advance their agenda. Shortly after the incident, there was speculation among far-right groups that the perpetrator was a Muslim.
The following day, violent protests erupted, with EDL supporters demonstrating in the streets and outside a mosque. Rioters chanting “we want our country back” threw objects at the police, smashed the windows of a mosque, and looted a shop. They also set fire to trash cans, tires, and a police van, which burned for hours, filling the sky with black smoke.
Nigel Farage has also used this situation to highlight his detachment from reality. Before the riots occurred, he questioned whether "the truth is being held from us" after the police classified the Southport stabbings as a "non-terror-related incident." He also ranted about recent tragedies where officials have labeled the incidents as "non-terror-related."
His dumb-fuck supporters and other morons have drawn their own conclusions. For example, check out the comments on GB News regarding one of his recent statements (which we will discuss shortly).
So this fucker is basically calling for more riots like this to take place, charming.
Terror attack is an attack motivated by political, ideological, or religious goals, aimed at intimidating the government. Police has determined from their interrogation so far that it wasn't a terror-related attack. This is not the police trying to hide something, this is the police telling you it isn't an attack motivated by any of the factors that makes it a terror-related attack. I am sorry you don't understand what terror-attack is, but again seems like you are a supporter of Nigel Farage so can't blame you for being brain-dead I guess.
I don't even feel like I need to comment on the stupidity of this one..
There are numerous comments expressing support for Tommy Robinson, a far-right figure in the UK known for his extreme anti-Muslim views. If you're interested in losing some brain cells reading these messages, you can check them out here: Video | Facebook
The worst part is that all this hate is being directed at Muslims, despite the fact that they had nothing to do with the incident! There is no evidence that the 17-year-old is Muslim. The only information we have so far is that his parents are from Rwanda and that he was born in Cardiff. That's it!
Here is another tweet by a right-wing British "academic":
Again, what does this stabbing have to do with immigration, grooming gangs, or anything of the sort? If your first reaction to a tragedy is to think, "Muslims did it! Those dirty immigrants!" then you’re clearly a far-right piece of garbage. Cry me a river.
Heck, even a former senior counter-terrorism police chief, Neil Basu, has accused Nigel Farage of helping incite violence. He said “Nigel Farage is giving the EDL [English Defence League] succour, undermining the police, creating conspiracy theories, and giving a false basis for the attacks on the police". He even expressed there were “real world consequences” when public figures failed to “keep their mouth shut”.
You see this pattern all the time with almost anything right-wing cucks promote, you get professionals who came out to debunk their points yet people don't care.
I believe we need to take more action to improve our society. Why is the country veering towards fascism? As leftists, we need to focus on spreading education, deradicalizing morons with extreme views, and working towards a more tolerant society where such ideologies are outnumbered and ridiculed.
Why is there so much emphasis on preventing Islamic schools or Muslim families from teaching children anything that could lead to greater segregation, while fascists like these are largely ignored? Why are Muslims criticized for not integrating socially, but right-wing morons are often excused by politicians? When BLM protests occurred and some turned into riots, the same people justifying the actions of the EDL were outraged. Are we seriously suggesting there isn’t a problem with racism in the UK? Yet, if you point out that the UK has a racism issue, the media and politicians react defensively, insisting, “HOW DARE YOU CALL THE UK RACIST! WE ARE THE MOST TOLERANT COUNTRY EVER!”
Finally, I admit that I’m deeply angry and upset. It’s distressing that in 2024, we still have people so driven by racist agendas that they hurt others. I’m frustrated that when someone from a minority background commits a crime, the media and politicians suddenly target entire communities, while the same scrutiny isn’t applied when a white conservative man is involved in wrongdoing.
I’m enraged that despite the ongoing attacks on minorities in the UK, politicians and media refuse to acknowledge that our country may not be as tolerant as we claim, though it could be improved. As someone from a Muslim background, I want to use my platform to highlight issues within the conservative British Muslim community to encourage progress and open-mindedness. However, the UK toxic climate makes it nearly impossible. When I address issues within the traditional Muslim environment, I attract neo-Nazis and fascists who don’t care about fostering a positive dialogue—they just want to fuel hatred and further isolate Muslims.
Newsflash: When a community is demonized and made to feel unwelcome, they will naturally cling to their own, avoiding social integration out of fear.
That's all I have to write for now, I plan on making some blogposts about immigration in the UK and how the government has been lying to the public about it. If you are interested, please consider subscribing to my blog from the home page. Its free.
UPDATE: The perpetrator's has now been named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana. No links to islam or muslims. Watch as media and politicians use this tragedy for their agenda soon.
