Southport a Year On: No Lessons Learned

As I wrote a year ago, the Southport massacre was checkmate for the multiculturalists:

“Southport is the end of the line for me, I’m afraid. I refuse to play this game any longer. So “No” Prime Minister Starmer, you do not speak for me – I am not remotely ‘shocked’ that the caravan of mass slaughter has made an unscheduled stop in Southport. “Au contraire”, your Majesties, I do not find it difficult to ‘imagine what the families, friends and loved ones are going through’ (and doubtless, given time neither will the rest of you). And it’s “Uh-uh” to you too, Home Secretary Cooper, my ‘thoughts and prayers’ already have a prior engagement; resigned to the hope that the ‘refugees welcome’ conniving bastards like you are one day held accountable for the blood on your hands. I’m sick of it all, but mostly I’m sick of the innocent picking up the bar-tab for the multicultural piss-up they were denied entry to.”

A year ago, I thought the situation couldn’t possibly get any worse. But then, like many frustrated Cassandras, it’s difficult to be sufficiently doom-mongering about the Starmer administration - a government whose Midas-like 174-seat majority, stills winds up turning everything to shit.

Announcing a public inquiry at the start of this year, Keir Starmer promised that Southport would be “a line in the sand” and that “nothing would be off the table”. And yet, the current situation is, unthinkably, worse. Under Starmer’s watch, from January to June 2025 there were around 20,000 small boat crossings – the highest ever number for this period, and 48% more than the same period in 2024. Meanwhile, thousands of Afghans have been secretly smuggled to Britain (some of them undoubtedly jihadists), after concerns for their safety following a Ministry of Defence data leak. Not to worry, says the Taliban, we’ll come and kill them over there. Keir Starmer may have been a human rights lawyer, but the human rights of British people, clearly, do not feature heavily in his statute book.

The fact is whatever he says publicly, Starmer is simply not interested in stopping the boats, smashing the gangs or slowing the stab-rate. He’d much rather prevent the public from noticing, and severely punishes anyone who does. As a case in point, consider the dystopian wet dream that is the Online Safety Act - sold as the protection of children. Consider the irony of that for a moment. Not only does the Act criminalise any false statement that causes “non-trivial psychological harm” - effectively the end of comedy, it means content critical of government immigration policy can and is being censored. The real joke of course, is that any child old enough to be gang-raped in a Labour constituency of their choice, will need about 10 seconds to circumvent these draconian restrictions.

As for the two-tier justice that Starmer et al always deny, it’s painfully obvious to anyone with a braincell that the British are second-class citizens in their own homeland. A great illustration of that is the juxtaposition of the Manchester Airport attack and the Southport riots, which occurred within days of each other. A year on, and Judge Neil Flewitt still hasn’t managed to persuade the jury that the Manchester attackers (brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad) ought to get anything more than a smack on the wrist, after inflicting a “high level of violence” on the Greater Manchester Police officers.

Indeed, the Judge seemed unusually determined to address the jury on the nature of the defendants’ ‘good character’, noting that they had no previous convictions:

“Although good character is not a defence to any of the charges faced by the defendants, it is relevant in two ways. Firstly, as the defendants have given evidence, their good character is a positive feature which you should take into account in their favour when considering whether you accept what they told you.

Secondly, the fact that the defendants have not offended in the past, either before or since July 23, 2024, may make it less likely that they acted as the prosecution allege in this case.

It is for you to decide how much importance you attach to the defendants’ good character and it is for you to decide the extent to which it assists on the facts of this particular case. In making those decisions you should take into account everything that you have heard about them, including the unchallenged testimonials that were read on their behalf.”

It is worth noting that Flewitt had no such qualms regarding ‘good character’ or a lack of previous convictions, when sentencing many of the Southport rioters in double-quick time last year.

A week on from the Manchester attack, Axel Rudakubana committed what Sir Adrian Fulford, chair of the Southport public inquiry, called “one of the most egregious crimes in our country’s history.” It’s worth pointing that out, because if you read any of the sanitised, cut and paste tweets from prominent Labour politicians yesterday, you might not have realised what they were talking about.

This was Keir Starmer’s pathetic attempt:

Not a single mention of Rudakubana, murder, terrorism or the ideology that inspired it.

Angela Rayner’s was no better, but then this was the woman famously filmed begging for Muslim votes:

Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper’s heart clearly wasn’t in it, as she barely managed four lines:

“We stand together in grief”, “all those whose lives were changed forever”, “A year since Alice da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King and Elsie Dot Stancombe were taken from us” - this passivity amounts to little more than gaslighting. Such poetry miraculously dries up, when it’s time to admonish the ‘far-right’ - those so extreme, they object to the mass slaughter of little girls. In the case of the Southport riots, Starmer’s words suddenly renewed their vigour: “violent disorder” committed by a “tiny, mindless minority” of “far-right thugs”.

Government incompetence on this scale tests the limits of credulity, even for a dullard like Starmer. Such incompetence only ever working one way however, leads to one inescapable conclusion: it’s deliberate. If only Lucy Connolly had had the sense to wear a hijab and merely chinned a policewoman instead of tweeting, no doubt she’d still be out on bail!

Never before has a British government openly displayed such utter contempt for the electorate. The Labour Party clearly hates the public it claims to ‘serve’, and its only plan appears to be the appeasement of Islam until the British are so far eradicated, they can no longer muster a response.

This, however, would be a grave mistake. Starmer may not have liked the Southport riots, but he ain’t seen nothing yet. Britain as it stand is a tinderbox. All it needs is a spark to set it off. The acquittal of the Manchester thugs would be more than sufficient.
