Some contents of Axel Rudakubana's laptops were revealed by Police overnight.
They included cached images relating to wars and international conflicts including in Ukraine, Gaza and Korea - but he also took a disturbing interest in ethnic cleansing.
Documents found on the tablet covered a wide range of violent conflicts including the history of Nazi Germany, violence around Buddhism in Sri Lanka, clan cleansing in Somalia, Rwandan genocide, Iraq and Balkans conflict, victims of torture, tales of beheadings and cartoons depicting violence.
This might be anticipated in someone "obsessed" with violence. But examine some of the books and papers found in his house and a picture begins to be emerge:
The violence centres around genocide and ethnic cleansing... 👇
Some of the titles include:
• ‘A place under heaven - Amerindian Torture and Cultural Violence’
•‘The Mau Mau War: British Counterinsurgency in Colonial Kenya’
•‘Death and survival during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda’
• ‘Examination of punishments dealt to slave rebels in two 18th Century British Plantation Societies’.
At first glance, there seems a disturbing anti-Anglo tone to some of these titles, focusing of the oppression of black and 'indigenous' people by white, colonial Europeans.
At school, Rudakubana was known to talk of "Britain needing a genocide like Rwanda" and, at a football match in which he played around the age of 15, he declared the need for a "white genocide".
The potential role of racism, genocide, and eugenics in Rudakubana's inspirations for the Southport massacre has been unexamined by the Press, and will be unheard by a public jury.
Evidence from Denmark suggests that second-generation immigrants from the Third World are in fact more prone to crime than their parents.
These children often suffer identity issues, untethered from the culture of the motherland but unable to see themselves in or value the culture of their birthplace.
Some come to idealise the 'motherland' to which they have never been, and come to resent the host nation in which they 'find' themselves.
Whilst correlation is not causation, members of the public and concerned parents are justified in posing questions of failed assimilation, radicalisation and 'reverse-racism' in immigrants arriving en-masse into Europe and the UK.
Harbouring concerns around public safety and cultural compatibility are asserted to be xenophobic, racist, or ‘far-right'.
The pronouncement by Keir Starmer that this attack was just another instance of “knife crime” felt to some like a deflection and only fuelled accusation of ‘managed narratives’ by a government who—for the sake of maintaining some semblance of social order—is being disingenuous about the nature of the crime and denying the systematic issues that appear to be either contributing to or facilitating similar deadly attacks.
Those that are enraged see no relation between this event and that of hooded youths stabbing each other in gang warfare or the unpremeditated stabbings arising from weapon-carrying culture. Such crimes are opportunistic whilst, from what information is available, the massacre in Southport appears to witnesses to have been a deliberate and targeted attack.
If we cannot have these contentious conversation now, then when?

Today, Axel Rudakubana - the teenager that has pled guilty to the Southport Massacre - will be sentenced in Liverpool Crown Court.
The public can expect to hear:
• The public will see Rudakubana en-masse for th first time
• Mitigating and aggravating factors in Rudakubana's case
• Impact statements from victims and their families
• The judge's ruling and Rudakubana's sentencing
This is expected to take several hours but I will be covering events from start to finish on this thread 👇

'How does a British-born teenage come to believe in the need for a "white genocide"?'
At school, Axel Rudakubana was known to talk of "Britain needing a genocide like Rwanda" and, at a football match in which he played around the age of 15, he declared the need for a "white genocide".

• ‘Examination of punishments dealt to slave rebels in two 18th Century British Plantation Societies’.

It speaks of teenager obsessed with racial violence and ethnic cleansing...
Does BLM and DEI play a role in Axel Rudakubana's mentality?
The more important question is, "How does a boy, born and raised in Britain, who received a liberal British education in an 'outstanding' state-school, who played football and sang in the church choir and participated in BBC's Children in Need, come to believe "Britain needs a genocide like Rwanda"?
Can Rudakubana's disturbed obsessions be blamed entirely on his parent's Rwandan past or must the nation look deeper still at the wide environment in which Rudakubana had been saturated?
Does a 'progressive' culture which advocates 'race consciousness', rewards claims of racial-victimhood, and promotes 'historical guilt' have a role to play in Rudakubana's mentality?
When activists like Black Lives Matter argue for 'reparations' they implicitly - and sometimes explicitly - promote the idea of inherited guilt and genetic sin.
As proponents of Critical Race Theory believe they have demonstrated, historic guilt can only apply to white people; and people deemed be be 'white-adjacent' because of their present day success, such as the Chinese-expats and Jews.
The 'decolonisation' movement is less about making amends for the associated harms of colonisation and more about racial revenge.
Following the October 7th, some activists and academics exposed their true ambitions: "Decolonisation is not a metaphor" wrote some. Najma Sharif, a writer for Soho House magazine and Teen Vogue, posted on X, ‘What did y’all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers."
This framework promotes a corrosive grievance culture between races. It insists upon unequal treatment according to race - such as "positive discrimination" in the workplace" - and carries the implicit assertion that some races are superior to others.
"Diversity is our strength" is one of those commercial phrases which appear benign on the surface but carry insidious consequences.
The phrase, at its best, states, "Everyone brings a perspective which is unique and valuable." But at its worst and proper context - the context from which it originates - the phrase instantiates that black, brown and 'indigenous' people have - as a result of their birth - have intellectual virtues which are inaccessible to white people (as a result of their birth).
This, in turn, instantiates that white people are of lesser worth, as a result of their genetic-make up...
Could these 'progressive' narratives have contributed to Axel Rudakubana's position on "white genocide"?
Did these rallying stories of 'oppressed' dominating the 'oppressor' play an aggravating role in Rudakubana's murderous actions in Southport?
These are the questions that need to be asked.
The families who are victims of Rudakubana deserve to the know the motivation of the attack against their children.
Was his motive for the Southport attack race-based?
If extreme "anti-colonial" propaganda did not play a role, was it the sex or age of the victims that made them targets? Was it a religion or a particular political ideology that drove Rudakubana out of the house that day? Or, perhaps the most terrifying prospect, was the Taylor Swift dance-class chosen at random - an surprise opportunity?
Without a trial, Axel Rudakubana will never have to face down the public or the parents, and the parents will never hear from the murderer's own lips, "Why did he choose to butcher and maim their children?"
I believe it will be some time until the victims and the public get an answer to this question, if they ever do...
Overnight, Merseyside Police have revealed overnight some of the weapons and graphic content they recovered from Axel Rudakubana's home in the aftermath of his deadly attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
This includes;
• Several digital devices full of graphic images of warzones, genocide and torture.
• Anti-white, anti-colonial book titles
• The materials to produce and store the ricin found in his home
• Several knives and bladed weapons
I can also reveal exclusively that one of the two knives he ordered via Amazon had been used to carry out the murders and mutilations on 29 July attack.
Full details below 👇
Ricin
An empty bag from Premier Seeds Direct, said to contain 150 seeds was also found, along with a receipt that showed the castor beans - from which the ricin was extracted
These were ordered on January 19 2022
He used the name under “Al Rud”.
In a cardboard box under the floorboards was a pair of goggles, two white funnels, a conical flask with brown residue in it, as well as a pestle and mortar containing pulp.
All the items had been purchased from Amazon in 2022
Cerbera Knife
In the family’s living room, where it appeared Rudakubana had been sleeping, was a duvet with the Cerbera knife inside it.
Email analysis revealed Rudakubana had ordered a similar knife to that used in the attack on June 21 but the order was cancelled due to a failed payment.
Some of the emails revealed requests for the items to be delivered in plain packaging.
On July 13 a similar knife from Amazon was again cancelled for the same reason - but two Cerbera knives were then ordered while using a VPN and were delivered on July 20
I can reveal exclusively that one of these two knifes had been used to carry out the act on the 29 July.
💥📰 BREAKING - Axel Rudakubana was expelled from his school in October 2019
As reported by members of the Southport community in those initial few days after the dance-class attack, Axel Rudakubana was, indeed, expelled from Range High School in October 2019 after bringing a knife into school.
The teen also returned to the school with a knife and a hockey stick before attacking a pupil two months later.
Details below 👇
Range High School in Formby had once 'outstanding' school. It was previously one of only several schools in the country to receive five consecutive 'outstanding' reports.
But in December 2018, the school was given a 'requires improvement' rating by the school watchdog with the report mentioning the "bad behaviour of one particular group of boys."
The report was so damning, the headteacher elected to resign.
The education watchdog found the behaviour of a minority of boys is having a 'disproportionately negative affect on the care, welfare, education and personal development of the significant majority of pupils'.
A group of 'influential boys', according to the report "do not value the education they are receiving and so disrupt some lessons."
"They also do not behave well around school."
Had Axel Rudakubana been in this group?
Even if was not, the culture of disruption and violence could not have helped facilitate Rudakubana away from his bloodlust.
I've just realised I've somehow gained 10,000 new followers in the last two days - most of you are here because of my Southport coverage.
If you don't know who I am, I am a 26-year-old working class lass who was lucky enough to go to Cambridge.
I am a writer and political commentators for outlets like The Telegraph, The Critic Magazine, and European Conservative. Until now I have been covering free speech issues, gender ideology, and British politics but I stopped this work to research the Southport case because something seemed very wrong about how the case was being handled.
I've actual been reporting on the Southport Stabbing since it happened and have actively been investigating the cover-up since late September.
You can find the essays I published before yesterday's 'guilty' plea and it is where I will continue to post news and details about the attack as and when people come forward to me with stories that I can verify.
Thank you for your support. I will make sure nothing is left unsaid in the weeks ahead.
The outrage following the murder of these three girls — and the attempted murder of eight more — has been seen most amongst the working classes. This has proven to be a complete, racist mystery to much of the British political and media establishment. Indeed, the outrage expressed not only by those throwing bricks but those who comment ‘#EnoughIsEnough’ on social media has been branded by Prime Minister Keir Starmer as ‘far-right thuggery’. Despite this being one of the most horrific attacks seen in Britain in the last decade, he sees no similarity between it and the countless other barbaric murders and assaults that make daily headlines.
But those who have been on the sharp end of the United Kingdom’s liberal policy-making over the last twenty years do see a pattern…"
Southport Stabbing suspect deemed fit to stand trial after extensive psychological testing
There will be no platitudes of “mental illness”, “vulnerability”, or “compassion” —Ruduakubana is going to be subject to the full force of the law.
The justice system in 21st century Britain appears to deal out more mercy to the offender than it does the victim. Every week, it seems, newspaper headlines disclose horrifying accounts of rape and murder which are excused on grounds of mental illness and want of understanding. Public feeling that these verdicts are, in some cases, being handed down without due cause and that the jury are overly generous in their interpretation of the accused actions. Someone accused of committing a crime can hardly be said to be “living their best life.”
Approach of Rudakubana's defence counsel
In the case of Axel Rudakubana — the teenage accused of exacting the Southport massacre — public concern has been raised about Rudakubana avoiding trial or being spared a prison sentence (should a jury find him guilty) with a plea of mental illness. This is a concern shared by some of the families of the victims.
From the reading of first charges on 1 August, it became apparent that Axel Rudakubana’s defence counsel would be looking to make a case that Rudakubana is unfit to plead or bears “diminished responsibility.” for his actions.
Under the ‘Coroners and Justice Act 2009’ — Section 52.1 — a person who kills cannot be be convicted of murder if they were suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning.
Why do people suspect Rudakubana is mentally ill?
At this reading of the charges, it was disclosed to the judge that Axel Rudakubana has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. He had been “unwilling to leave the house and communicate with family for a period of time”, relayed the prosecution.
The reaction in the mainstream press was immediate, unified, and one dare say orchestrated. Axel Rudakubana is portrayed as a “very quiet” choir boy. An “introvert”. “Clingy,”recount one of his neighbours to The Mirror. Photos of him as a young schoolboy — several years out of date — were circulated and featured beside image of three girls killed — Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar, and Bebe King.
The inference had been unmistakable and unforgivable. The press were asking the public, “Should we not be viewing the accused as a victim, also?”
