An Angolan Moslem Axel Rudakubana, 17, slashed six White children at a Taylor Swift holiday club in Southport, England. The police and media covered up the name and origin of the slasher. He was identified as coming from Wales, instead of Angolan parents. At first his name was not released. When grief stricken mourners clashed with police, Britain’s new anti-White Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer denounced their actions as “thuggery.” Who will take responsibility for this result of Britain’s wretched immigration system. — Paul Fromm

Southport attack latest: Police fear more demonstrations following violence
Southport attack victims Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven
Police are planning for more demonstrations after violence erupted in Southport last night.
Riots flared outside a mosque on Tuesday after three young girls were killed while attending a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club this week.
A vigil was held to remember Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine. However violence broke out amid claims the police were not telling the truth about the suspect’s background and his motives, with rumours swirling on social media.
Police have made four arrests so far after 53 officers and three police dogs were injured in the clashes. These included three officers who were taken to hospital with injuries including fractures, lacerations, a suspected broken nose and concussion.
Serena Kennedy, Chief Constable of Merseyside Police, speaking from Southport on Wednesday said officers were prepared for “events” to take place tonight and this weekend.
She said: “There is intelligence around other events taking place potentially this evening and also into the weekend which we are planning for.
“I am absolutely confident that we have got sufficient resources here in Merseyside being supported by colleagues from the north west, both for tonight and into the weekend.”
She added: “We are absolutely planning for this evening and for the weekend ahead so that we don’t see a repeat of last night.”

Axel Rudakubana is charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of
attempted murder
The 17-year-old charged with murdering three young girls at a Taylor Swift themed holiday club in Southport can be named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, after reporting restrictions were lifted.
The teenager appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday morning charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder. He was remanded into custody.
The 17-year-old, who turns 18 in just six days time, was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff before moving to the village of Banks in Lancashire.
He has been charged with the murders of Bebe King six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine; 10 counts of attempted murder; and possession of a bladed article, namely a “kitchen knife with a curved blade” following the attack on Monday.
The 17-year-old turns 18 in just six days time
The three children died after being stabbed while they were attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga workshop.
Eight other children suffered stab wounds, with five in critical condition. Two children have been discharged from hospital.
Dozens of officers stood watch outside the courtroom after another night of violent protests broke out across the country.
The teenager appeared at a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday where the Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC made the ruling.
Previously he could not be named because of his age, but his anonymity would have fallen away next Wednesday when he turns 18.
Earlier on Thursday the teenager, from Banks in Lancashire, appeared in the dock at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court for a preliminary hearing.

Liverpool Mayor suggests Southport suspect’s religion is irrelevant
Steve Rotheram says people who want to know religion of 17-year-old intend to ‘stir up more tension’

The Metro Mayor of Liverpool has suggested that the religion of the alleged Southport knifeman is irrelevant.
Steve Rotheram said he had heard the opinion voiced that violence broke out in the Merseyside town on Tuesday night because of a “wall of silence” about what had happened.
No information apart from the age of the suspect has been released. The 17-year-old boy arrested after three girls were killed and eight other children injured while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Because of his age, the suspect cannot legally be named.
Addressing the unanswered questions over the alleged attacker’s identity, Mr Rotheram said the only reason anyone would want to know his religion was to “stir up tension”.
It comes as police are preparing for more trouble after Tuesday night’s violence.
Riots flared outside a mosque after a vigil was held for the three young girls killed in the attack on Monday. Mourners came together in memory of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.
However, violence broke out amid claims police were not telling the truth about the suspect’s background and his motives, with rumours swirling on social media. The riots flared after misinformation was spread online, it is understood.
Mr Rotheram said: “Let’s be absolutely brutal and honest – what are those questions that remain unanswered?
“Well, the name of the individual. That’s because of legal reasons, that person’s 17. The one that social media wants to find out is the religion of that person. So you have to ask yourself the question ‘why would anybody want to know the religion of the perpetrator of this vicious and heinous crime?’
“And it’s to do with exactly what we just talked about earlier, which is to stir up more tension in this community.”
Elsewhere, James Cleverly, the shadow home secretary, said those “fuelling conspiracy” should face tough action, after false information was spread via social media, misidentifying the suspected killer and wrongly claiming he was a refugee.
Mr Cleverly called on the Government to clamp down “hard and fast” on those spreading misleading information, adding: “As home secretary, I took a clear and firm stance on protesters and civil disorder, and went to America to ensure the tech companies properly understood that the UK Government expected them to step up to stop the spread of disinformation.
“They must do so now. We all have a duty to honour truth, respect our police, and check before we share.”
More than 50 police officers were injured during the rioting, which has been condemned by the local community and party leaders
