Today the Southport Inquiry published its findings.
I’m not talking about the agencies right now.
I’m talking about his parents.
Because somebody fucking has to.
I’m a former detective. 21 yrs in the force, I know what I’m looking at🧵👇
I’m already seeing it.
“Oh but it must have been SO hard for them.”
“They were in an IMPOSSIBLE position.”
“What were they SUPPOSED to do?”
I’ll tell you what they were supposed to do.
Their job as parents.
That’s fucking what. 😤
His parents knew he had RICIN in his bedroom.
A biological toxin. 6,000 times more poisonous than cyanide. Al quad-a manual.
They knew about the knives. The machete they PERSONALLY signed for. Bows and arrows.
A small arsenal.
IN. THEIR. HOUSE.
And they reported NONE of it. ❌
A week before Southport he tried to leave the house to attack his old school.
His dad stopped him. ✋
Good.
Then did absolutely FUCK ALL else.
Didn’t call the police.
Didn’t tell a single agency.
Just texted his wife:
“Our child needs to be protected.”
Not THOSE children. His. 🤬
The day of the attack they watched him leave.
SAME outfit as the week before.
SAME weapon.
SAME direction.
They saw the empty knife packaging on the way out.
AND THEY DID NOTHING.
Nothing. 😶
Yes. The agencies failed. Over years.
I’m not dismissing that.
But EVERY single agency that failed – failed on INCOMPLETE information.
Information this father was DELIBERATELY withholding from them.
The father knew. In real time. And said nothing.
That is NOT the same thing. ⚠️
Nobody takes responsibility in this country anymore.
NOBODY.
Always someone else’s fault.
Always someone else’s job.
Always someone else’s problem.
Those three little girls were EVERYBODY’S problem.
And nobody acted like it.
Least of all their killer’s parents. 🔥
He didn’t just stay silent.
He ACTIVELY blocked a safeguarding report from reaching the youth offending team.
He WITHHELD information about weapons from mental health services.
He wasn’t a frightened father fumbling in the dark.
He was interfering. Deliberately. Repeatedly. 👇
To everyone saying “imagine how hard it was for THEM”
I want you to imagine something else.
Imagine it was YOUR daughter in that dance class.
YOUR six year old.
YOUR seven year old.
YOUR nine year old.
Still feeling sorry for them? 🤔
This family came to this country from Rwanda.
How and why they were approved to be here has NEVER been properly explained.
This country gave them everything – housing, schools, police, social workers, mental health services.
And the father sat on information that would have saved three little girls’ lives. 🇬🇧
The inquiry chair said it was “almost certain” the attack would have been prevented if the parents had spoken up in that final week.
ALMOST CERTAIN.
Elsie. Bebe. Alice.
ALMOST CERTAINLY STILL HERE. 💔
The CPS says the evidence doesn’t meet the threshold for charges.
He knew about the weapons ✅
He knew about the ricin ✅
He withheld all of it from agencies ✅
He interfered with safeguarding ✅
He watched his son walk out the door ✅
He did NOTHING ✅
Tell me again whose fault this isn’t.
Let me tell you about Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000.
This law exists for ONE reason.
To make it a criminal offence to stay silent when you know someone is planning terrorism.
Not a guideline. Not a suggestion.
A LAW. ⚖️
Here’s exactly what it says.
If you have information you KNOW OR BELIEVE might help prevent an act of terrorism –
And you don’t tell the police –
YOU. HAVE. COMMITTED. A. CRIMINAL. OFFENCE.
Maximum sentence: 10 years. ⛓️
His son was convicted under the Terrorism Act.
For possessing an al-Qaeda training manual.
If it was terrorism enough to convict the SON –
How is it not terrorism enough to charge the FATHER for knowing and saying NOTHING?
Someone answer that. I’ll wait. 👀
This law has been used before.
A woman knew her husband was planning terrorism.
She said nothing.
She was convicted. ⚖️
So somebody explain to me –
With a STRAIGHT FACE –
Why this father is any different. 🤬
In the aftermath of the attack this family were moved to a secure location.
At taxpayer expense.
How much has that cost?
We don’t know. Nobody will tell us.
Whether the arrangement is still ongoing – we don’t know that either.
That information hasn’t been made public.
Which is itself a question worth asking. 👇
There is no law that compels a parent to report their child to police.
There SHOULD be.
Because when you’ve seen the arsenal –
Signed for the machete –
Watched him try to leave armed the week before –
And you STILL say nothing –
That is not helplessness.
That is a CHOICE.
And choices have consequences. ⚖️
When a family comes to this country and a parent shields a child who is building a BIOLOGICAL WEAPON and stockpiling knives –
From every agency trying to intervene –
The question of whether they have any right to remain here needs to be asked.
Loudly. Now. WITHOUT APOLOGY. 🚨
Today’s report made 67 recommendations.
Not ONE of them is about holding the parents to account.
Not. One.
Elsie Dot Stancombe. 7 years old. 🌸
Bebe King. 6 years old. 🌸
Alice da Silva Aguiar. 9 years old. 🌸
Three little girls who deserved better from every adult in their killer’s life.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Say their names. Don’t let this get buried.
🔁 RT if you think the parents must face consequences.

They have blood on their hands.

1/ On Thursday night, in my own country, victory speeches were given in languages I don’t speak. Muslim Independent candidates took around 200 council seats, mostly carved out of Labour. 🧵
2/ The Greens and Your Party openly chased the same vote – courting communities where elected councillors have campaigned for sharia and political Islam.
3/ Green Party leader Zack Polanski told the BBC, on polling day, that “Palestine is one of the elements on the ballot.” Local elections. Bin collections, social care, council tax, planning. Hijacked into a referendum on a foreign war.

🔥 The Truth About Zack Polanski

He defended six activists at a protest where a police officer’s spine was broken by a sledgehammer. Said they “are not the criminals here.”

He criticised the police officers who arrested the man charged with attempting to murder Jewish men in Golders Green.

This is the leader of the Green Party 🧵
Last 24 hours: caught in three separate lies about his CV. 25 of his candidates named in a Labour antisemitism dossier. Rebuked by the Police Federation.
Here is what we now know about Zack Polanski.
He has never run a thing in his life.
Bit parts in four British indie films, 2007–2011. Hypnotherapy at someone else’s Harley Street clinic. Drama teaching.
Never managed a payroll. Never employed anyone. Never been the person the buck stopped with.

Here we have a Green Party candidate arguing that my Substack post about the Green Party is fiction.
Here i prove him wrong, step by step. 🧵 💁‍♀️ Image
Rob, you've checked the manifesto. I cited the party's policy document. Those are not the same thing, and the manifesto itself says so – it explicitly states it is "based on our more detailed policies… and is a summary of them."

The detailed policies, voted in by your own members in October 2021, are publicly available on your party's own asylum and migration site. They include, verbatim:
RA 601: "All applicants will be provided with accommodation and financial support, as required, from the date of their application. Financial support will be at the level of Universal Basic Income if it is in force, or at a similar level if not."

1/ In January 2008, PC Neil Sampson walked towards a man with a knife. He took seven stab wounds doing it.
His dog Anya, already bleeding, kept hold of the attacker so her handler could live.

That same man, Essa Suleiman stabbed two people yesterday in a terror attack in Golders Green.

Here’s what happened next. 🧵
2/ In January 2008, PC Neil Sampson walked towards a man with a knife. He took seven stab wounds doing it – four to the back of the head, one through the lip, two in the leg. His dog Anya, already bleeding herself, kept hold of the attacker so her handler could live.
3/ The man was Essa Suleiman. He also stabbed PC Michael Mansell. Anya took a stab wound to the chest. She survived. She got the PDSA Gold Medal in 2010 for saving PC Sampson’s life. 😭

1/ ⚠️ This thread is graphic and detailed. It contains descriptions of child rape, torture and institutional cover-up.
It is also entirely documented and sourced.
It will tell you what has been done to girls in this country, why it was allowed to continue, and why today's inquiry is not enough.

PLEASE read it all. You need to read it all. 💾🧵

2/ They're calling it a grooming gang inquiry.
Let's be clear. Grooming was the process.
What came after was rape.
Systematic, repeated, organised rape of children.
Not grooming. Rape.
Today the government launched its rape gang inquiry. Three years. March 2029.
3/ I spent 21 years in policing. I investigated rapes and child sexual exploitation. When I joined CID, someone on my CID course was part of the team on Operation Challenge- my own force, West Mercia Police investigating the Telford rape gangs.
This was not distant.
This was not someone else's problem.
This was happening on our doorstep.
And yet I — along with 22,000 other ordinary people — had to crowdfund a private inquiry because the state refused to act. A former police officer. Paying into a crowdfund.

Because nobody in power would look at what was done to these children.

I’m a former CID detective.

I spent 21 years inside the British criminal justice system.

And I’m done staying quiet.

A thread. 🧵 Image
I investigated serious crime. Domestic abuse.
Sexual offences.
Murders and attempts.
Stranger rapes.
Paedophile cases.

The kinds of cases that stay with you long after the file is closed.

Those years taught me something most people never see.

How the system really works. And how often it fails. 🧵
I’ve stood on top of multi-storey car parks talking people down from the edge.

I’ve delivered death messages to parents about their children.

I’ve attended hangings.

Bodies crawling with maggots.

Been attacked with a knife.

You learn to carry it.
You have to.

But the thing that stays with me most?

An elderly woman’s burglary file sitting on my desk. 🧵
