There's a lot of chat going on about the terrorism charges levelled at the Southport child murder suspect...

Here's an attempt at a fair summary of events and what it might mean.

Starmer could be in serious trouble.
Thread 🧵 Image
Earlier today, police announced that they have formally charged 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana, the suspect of the vile Southport child murders, with two new offences. Image
In addition to the murder charges of 3 beautiful young girls—Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice da Silva Aguiar—Rudakubana was charged under Section 1 of the Bio Weapons Act 1974, and under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000, for possessing an al-Qaeda training manual. Image
The additional charges, discovered during an investigation of Rudakubana’s home in the Lancashire village of Banks, include production of ricin and possession of a PDF titled ‘Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants—the al-Qaeda training manual’. Image
Given the lethal nature of ricin and the links to jihadist material, one would assume that Counter Terrorism Police would classify the case as terrorism. However, they’ve refrained, citing lack of evidence of a “motive.” Image
At a press conference earlier today, Merseyside Police Chief Superintendent Serena Kennedy cautioned the public against assumption:

“I would strongly advise everyone to avoid speculation about the motivation in this case.” Image
Kennedy emphasised that the criminal proceedings are ongoing and warned that any commentary could compromise Rudakubana’s right to a fair trial. Image
Her advice seems ironic. Kennedy had no hesitation in labelling protesters who gathered in Southport as “far-right" on July 31st.

It was a quick judgment on her part in comparison. No official, thorough investigations had determined their motivations behind the protests. Image
The discovery of extremist material takes on further significance, considering some of the media’s reactions following the stabbings. Image
On August 19th, the BBC declared “false online rumours” fuelled the violence associating Rudakubana with Islam—later supplementing it with more articles theorising about online chatrooms “fanning the flames”. Image
Image
For context, a recent Sky News investigation revealed that most of the influential accounts driving "disinformation" and "orchestrating" "far-right" riots in the UK originated from overseas users. Image
Other outlets, such as the Mirror and the Daily Record, frequently referenced the suspect’s Christian father and his prior involvement in a local choir. Image
British-Nigerian lawyer and activist Adeshola Mos-Shogbamimu, a frequent figure in the progressive media, stated Rudakubana was a “Black British Christian… born and bred in the UK” and emphatically “NOT Muslim.” Image
Indeed, possession of extremist religious materials does not equate to motivation, yet it strongly suggests an ideological link.
The government and authorities agreed that “misinformation” sparked widespread unrest. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper repeated such concerns in the House of Commons days after the murders.
Even our broadcasting regulator agreed, saying there is a clear link between “misleading content” and violent disorder. Image
In reality, determining the true reasons—objectively— behind public anger remains complex; the govt's assertions of “misinformation” sidestep the possibility that protestors and/or rioters had broader concerns, whether over immigration or perceived inaction by authorities. Image
Earlier this month, MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said that roughly 75 per cent of terror threats his teams were dealing were “Islamic inspired”, with 25 per cent relating to “far-right” extremism. Image
But then Telegraph and Critic journalist Charlie Bentley-Astor dropped the real bombshell…

She revealed that police on the scene had informed a Reform party candidate that Rudakubana’s actions were motivated by Islamic extremism. Image
The question begs: was the information deliberately withheld from the start? When did police know of the link?
In an equally scandalous development, outlet Guido Fawkes revealed that when they published an article last week questioning why Rudakubana’s case had been delayed, authorities went to the extent of directly contacting and pressuring them to pull the story. Image
The implications of concealing such details go beyond this case alone, touching on a deeper, more systemic issue of public trust, as does the authorities’ attempt to pressure a retraction. Image
The terrorism charges also touch on the prosecution and sentencing of those for saying supposedly “inflammatory” things online. The Free Speech Union thinks a number of alleged offenders could have grounds for lawsuits. Image
Many ppl arrested in Aug for social media posts about the murders faced intense police pressure to plead guilty.

Did police anticipate news of a link to an Islamist training manual would surface, potentially weakening the case for conviction? Image
If our police and the Prime Minister encouraged the systematic targeting of individuals aware of the suspect’s potential links to Islam for “stirring up racial/religious hatred” despite its truth, the cultural—and possibly political—repercussions could be seismic. Image

Essex Police have been up to some astonishing things...

At the centre of it? One man, whom most have probably never heard of.

Ben-Julian Harrington, Chief Constable of Essex Police.

His force's conduct might leave you speechless.

Thread 🧵 Image
Harrington has served as Chief Constable of Essex Police since 2018, following previous roles as the force’s Deputy Chief and as a senior officer with the Metropolitan Police Service. Image
On the force’s website, he is described as a “champion” of diversity, equality, and inclusion, and a “firm ally for LGBTQ+ communities.” Image

What’s happening in Portsmouth shows just how far we still are from putting public safety before politics.

Certain councils—and even local media—are still making the same “mistakes” that led to the scandal.

Updates on the asylum seeker sexual assault "cover-up" in Portsmouth.

Thread 🧵Image
The independent councillor who blew the whistle on a council chief executive’s alleged attempt to cover up a r*pe charge has now confirmed she is under formal investigation. Image
Cllr George Madgwick, of Portsmouth City Council, revealed that council boss Natalie Brahma-Pearl is being investigated by the HR department following serious misconduct allegations. Image

This is Councillor @georgedmadgwick

He recently blew the whistle on Portsmouth City Council.

Why? Because senior officials tried to suppress news that an asylum seeker—housed at public expense—had been charged with r*pe.

The essential dets and peeps involved. Thread 🧵 Image
It all began last week, when rumours that an asylum-seeker had committed a r*pe circulated online. In response, council officials held private briefings with various councillors and party leaders. Image
That’s when a senior officer contacted George directly. “She called me during the day and said, ‘George, I must make it very clear to you: you're not to discuss this with anyone,’” he recalled. Image

The UK Home Office has come under heavy fire of late.

The recent "right-wing" terrorist definitions being a case in point...

But behind-the-scenes, they've been up to much more and worse.

Our American cousins might look on in disbelief.

Thread (Part 4) 🧵 Image
There was so much to cover here I had to break it into four parts.

This is the last, part four — Bureaucratic Activism.
While manipulating data and blocking FOIs (part two) can signal a department’s priorities, it’s the overt activism that makes them unmistakably clear. Image

The Home Office and our counter-terrorism units have come under heavy fire of late.

The "right-wing" terrorist definitions being a case in point.

But behind-the-scenes, they've been up to much more and worse.

Others countries might look on in shock.

Thread (Part 3) 🧵 Image
There was so damn much to cover here I had to break it into four parts.

Consider this part three — Incompetence and/or Negligence and Waste
Now, a consistent factor driving Home Office conduct appears to be sheer incompetence—or outright negligence, or a combination of the two.

Little else explains how epic some of their failures have been. Image

Casey’s rapid review has vindicated so many who, for years, were smeared as liars.

Now, it's clear they were right, particularly about the Home Office report...

Here’s a quick look at some of those who persistently dismissed and undermined the truth.

Thread 🧵 Image
Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate.

In a 2013 BBC interview:

"Sexual predators come from all backgrounds... That is why we need to be vigilant about not creating stereotypes around just Pakistani men..."

This "anti-fascist" censor previously advised the government. Image
The Guardian

In 2015, the paper villainised Katie Hopkins after she condemned Labour MP Simon Danczuk for raising a Pakistani flag in Rochdale, saying how inappropriate it was.

The article failed to confront reliable data. Image
