UK attack suspect not a Muslim or asylum-seeker as claimed by far-right - "The suspect was named on Thursday as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, born in the UK to Rwandan parents. Local media reported the suspect comes from a family "heavily involved with the local church." But the false information spread by far-right groups led to anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots even as mobs also clashed with police outside a mosque, the first of several violent riots across the country."
From August. This aged well. Of course, left wingers will still claim it was misinformation because from what "we" "knew" at the time, it was fake news that he was Muslim

Teen accused of fatally stabbing 3 girls at U.K. dance class made ricin and had al Qaeda training manual, police say
Darren Grimes on X - "I’m outraged. I feel sick. Initially, we were told these poor girls had been killed by a Christian from Rwanda. Now we know that couldn’t be further from the truth. Axel Rudakubana, the 18-year-old accused of the brutal murder of three young schoolgirls and attempted murder of 10 others in Southport, is also now charged with attempting to create a biological weapon using the lethal toxin Ricin. But it doesn’t stop there. Merseyside police have hit Rudakubana with a second new charge under the Terrorism Act for possessing an Al-Qaeda terror manual. This bombshell comes after three months in which authorities repeatedly said there was no evidence linking this horrific act to terrorism. Now, they’re telling us a very different story. According to Chief Constable Serena Kennedy at a Merseyside police press conference, new evidence surfaced after officers searched Rudakubana’s home. Among the findings was a suspicious substance, sent to the Government’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down. The result? Ricin—the deadly poison. Thankfully, authorities confirm it wasn’t used in the Southport attack, with no traces found at the Hart Space venue where the horror unfolded. Rudakubana now faces three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder, and a charge of carrying a bladed weapon. Those he’s accused of killing—Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine—were at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class when they were attacked, alongside eight other children and two adults who were injured. But it gets darker still. Merseyside police report that Rudakubana also had a PDF file titled Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: the Al-Qaeda training manual, a document that’s all too useful for someone looking to commit an act of terror. Chief Constable Kennedy confirmed this charge, explaining it under section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The aftermath of this tragedy has already seen widespread unrest across towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland. And today’s revelations? They’re bound to stir more. Merseyside police are already on high alert, ready to deploy additional resources if necessary. Chief Constable Kennedy sought to reassure the community, pledging justice for the families of Bebe, Elsie, and Alice, the 10 injured victims, and all who were present that day. “We are also committed to being open and transparent with our communities,” she said, though also mindful of not jeopardizing the ongoing legal process. Despite these chilling new charges, Counter Terrorism police have yet to officially declare the Southport attack a terrorist incident. Rudakubana is set to appear before Westminster magistrates court tomorrow to face these new charges."

"Misinformation" is whatever threatens the left wing agenda
Anti-immigration riots are escalating in the UK. Here's how misinformation spurred violence - "Anti-immigration riots are causing havoc across the UK after social media posts falsely claimed the suspect of the Southport stabbing attack was a Muslim immigrant... The teenager was born in Cardiff, to Rwandan parents, and is not of the Islamic faith. His misidentification has perpetuated "harmful stereotypes and prejudices" and provoked Islamophobia, according to the Executive Director of the Islamophobia Register Australia Dr Nora Amath."
Right-Wing Extremists Embarrassed Twice by Mistakenly Labelling Non-Muslim Southport Suspects as Muslims - "Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old Rwandan Christian whose identity became known through a Judge’s decision... they both had a right-wing manufactured history of supposedly being Muslim. In what is sure to cause a major double embarrassment for the sameright-wing extremists and their Islamophobic agenda, it correctly turned out that neither of the suspects were Muslim."
Misinformation fuels tension over UK stabbing attack that killed 3 children - "By the time a judge said the teen suspect could be identified, rumors already were rife and right-wing influencers had pinned the blame on immigrants and Muslims. “There’s a parallel universe where what was claimed by these rumors were the actual facts of the case,” said Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, a think tank that looks at issues including integration and national identity. “And that will be a difficult thing to manage.”"

Thread by @StarkNakedBrief on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "This is Jamie Michael. He is former Royal Marine, who has now found himself fighting against the British state. This is bc he posted video—genuinely non-violent or "racist"—following second generation immigrant Rudakubana's sick child murder spree. A review of his case. Thread 🧵
Last August, dozens of non-violent Southport protesters pleaded guilty to various charges, raising eyebrows as their sentences didn’t seem to reflect the severity of their “crimes”. Many suspected Sir Keir Starmer’s push for fast-tracking cases, offering reduced sentences for guilty pleas, while remanding those who pleaded not guilty in custody for months on end played a role. But not everyone submitted to the system. Some fought back. One of those was Jamie Michael, a 45-year-old former Royal Marine Commando. His alleged crime? Posting a Facebook video. The video came after the brutal murder of Alice da Silva Aguiar (9), Bebe King (6), and Elsie Dot Stancombe (7)—by Axel Rudakubana. For that post, police arrested Jamie for “publishing threatening material… intending to stir up religious hatred,” under the Public Order Act 1986.
Given the charge, one would expect the video to be damning. But by any objective measure, it wasn’t. He talked about the ‘Roma Riots’ in Leeds, the Rochdale police station attack post Manchester Airport incident, the stabbing of army officer Mark Teeton on his doorstep, the Southport murders and the machete fight in Southend On Sea—all which occurred within weeks of each other. He questioned details of the Southport murder, speculating that the then-unnamed suspect came with a migrant family that had been radicalised. He urged viewers to act, but not with violence. “Go to the councillors, go to the police, go to the politicians… You need to start standing up and organising, okay, which doesn’t mean getting bats and knives and stuff and going and doing what they do. That’s not what I’m talking about.” He called for increased security at schools and parks, warning, “These f*cking psychopaths are going to start targeting our kids.” No racial focus. One mention of a mosque. An explicit call for peaceful organisation.
The only apparent error? He thought the suspect was a first-generation immigrant, not second—a mistake that, under the Online Safety Act, could ironically justify his arrest if police decided he made the statement knowingly. But they haven’t.
Days later, South Wales Police arrested him at home. Listeners reporting on his trial this week revealed officers first downplayed it, telling him there was “nothing to worry about.” Then, they took him into custody. He remained in custody for 3 weeks—for a social media post. Jamie wasn’t the only one arrested under this charge. South Wales Police arrested five others, granting bail to three—a 27-year-old from Penarth, and a 33-year-old woman and 39-year-old man from Blaengwynfi, Neath Port Talbot—but not Jamie...
Prosecutors first accused Jamie of “inciting racial hatred,” arguing that his words could provoke racial tensions. His lawyers countered that he was exercising free speech, raising concerns over unvetted migration and rising violence. They then played the video and showed bodycam footage from his arrest. Next up was his police interview, revealing that he repeatedly called for peace, denied racism, and defended his right to criticise media bias and government failures. This is when he also specified that he was talking about "illegal immigrants" in the original video. Then, came the revelation of the day... Reports revealed that Buffy Williams, a Welsh Labour Senedd Member for Rhondda, instructed her communications officer, Ryan Evans, to file a complaint to police about Jamie’s video. That complaint ultimately led to his arrest.
A politician reported a citizen for political speech. The police acted swiftly. And the legal system accommodated it. This naturally raised questions among sceptics over whether the arrest might be political, which our tragically vague speech laws naturally accommodate. Perhaps it provides more insight in the minds of modern Labour politicians: expressions of the "wrong" politics, although clearly not incendiary or “racist”, must be reported, punished, and stopped. For reference, in 2020, CCTV captured two Black Lives Matter protesters committing overt acts of violence. Jonathan Daley kicked a police officer—he avoided jail. Shayden Spencer threw a metal fence at fleeing officers—he avoided jail. Reports don’t clarify whether either was remanded in custody until their guilty pleas and sentencing. Now, if Jamie is found guilty by the jury on Thursday and subsequently jailed, it would mean words—peaceful words—have been punished more harshly than physical violence, once again. Sentencing Council guidelines suggest that if his crime is deemed ‘high culpability’ and ‘high harm’, he faces between three and seven years in prison."
Ex-Man United apprentice not guilty of racial hatred on Facebook - "James Wilson, prosecuting, said Mr Michael's tone in the video had been "unrelentingly negative" towards migrants. But Adam King, defending, said it was "beyond obvious" the strong language did not refer to all migrants. He added: "The overall tone and message is totally fair enough – do more to stop child murderers or similar from coming into the country, go to the police or politicians with practical ideas for how to protect children. These are not mad ideas.""

Why the ‘two-tier Keir’ jibe isn’t going away | The Spectator - "Anyone concerned about criminal justice in Britain will find the well-documented glee of the 1,700 prisoners given early release around the country this week galling indeed. As domestic abusers and career criminals walk free, many will have been struck by the contrast with the government’s response to last month’s riots, bringing to mind that most irresistible of epithets: ‘two-tier Keir’. In the Commons, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage duly used his first ever question at PMQs to punch this bruise. Many of those leaving prison will be effectively swapping places with those arrested last month in the disturbances following the barbaric Southport attack. While some of those locked up were violent rioters, others, said Farage, were merely ‘those who have said unpleasant things on Facebook and elsewhere on social media’ (like the grandmother and sole carer to her elderly husband, Julie Sweeney, given 15 months for a single crass Facebook post). Then came the question: ‘Does the Prime Minister understand that there is a growing feeling of anger in this country that we are living through two-tier policing and a two-tier justice system?’ Unsurprisingly, Farage’s question met with loud groans and jeers from the Labour benches, and with the PM not answering. Labour really does not want to talk about two-tier policing, with Starmer insistent it is a ‘non-issue’. Last month, after the billionaire owner of X, Elon Musk, stung the Prime Minister by labelling him ‘two-tier Keir’, Labour MPs had to be warned to steer clear of the topic entirely on social media by their chief whip. Others are rattled, too. Think of prickly Sir Mark Rowley, the Met commissioner, slapping away a reporter’s microphone when pressed on it, or attempts in the mainstream press to dismiss it as a ‘myth’. Yet the question continues to be asked. Labour’s technocratically minded politicians would no doubt love to be able answer it by saying that the police, the courts and the justice system are independent of ministers and should be left to get on with the job. But such an excuse is no longer credible. After all, the whole country has just witnessed how the wheels of British justice, just as they did in 2011, can be made to speed up or slow down at the command of Starmer the prosecutor. The PM’s crackdown on the riots was fierce. At their height, Starmer was giving regular press conferences denouncing all those involved as ‘far right’. As they raged, he notably refused multiple opportunities to say that while the violence was wrong, it might reflect some underlying grievances that ought to be addressed. Instead, he pledged to raise a ‘standing army’ of police offers against his own citizens, introduce authoritarian facial recognition technology and so-called ‘preventive action’ to snag prospective rioters ‘pre-crime’. His Home Office proved so eager to boast of reaching 1,000 arrests on social media that, as the Free Speech Union has argued, it may well have placed itself in contempt of the very court system it’s in charge of. Labour has sought to take political credit for all this, with Starmer pledging to ‘take all necessary action to keep our streets safe’. Indeed, just as grandmothers and 11-year-olds were being fast-tracked into custody, the PM is in the process of fast-tracking honours for those who helped put them there – especially, as Guido Fawkes reports, ‘community leaders’, who ‘made sure targeted groups felt safe’. Yet while Starmer may have enjoyed playing the tough guy, his highly visible crackdown will in the coming years pose a major problem for Labour when it comes to law and order and two-tier policing. He has demonstrated a simple principle: where there is sufficient political will, criminal justice can be swift and unforgiving. Which means that every time it appears lackadaisical and soft-touch, it will be seen as a political choice – as indeed it is. Post-Southport, anytime anything even smacks of two-tier justice, the cry of ‘two-tier Keir’ will inevitably go up. Back in July, two men were caught on camera appearing to assault three police officers inside Terminal 2 of Manchester Airport, leaving all three with head injuries, including a female officer with a broken nose. Yet the suspects, brothers Muhammad Fahir Amaaz, 19 and Amaad Amaaz, 25, have not yet been charged. Why has Starmer, who has long sought to position himself as defending the police, or the Home Secretary, who this week called anti-police violence a ‘stain on our society’, said nothing about this? Could it have anything to do with the fact that after their initial arrest, a sectarian mob assembled at Rochdale police station to demand their release and issue threats? Indeed, it seems the authorities are more interested in pinning the blame for this incident on the police officers who were attacked. Two officers remain under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, with one suspended, after footage emerged of the infamous head kick against one of the suspects. It was only when the Manchester Evening News published further footage that showed the men attacking the officers that this narrative started to unravel. Now, the MEN reports that it is being menaced by an IOPC investigation asking it to reveal its source. (Quite rightly, the paper is refusing to be bullied.) It seems that an alleged leak of the footage of this potential offence is deemed more serious than the offence itself. Or take the case of Mohamed Osman, who threw a can at protesters amid disorder in Bristol following the Southport attack, and pleaded guilty to violent disorder. Mohamed will not do jail time: last week, he received a two-year suspended sentence, though he did get a measly 150 hours of community service. A stark contrast with the fate of Bradley McCarthy, who, also in Bristol, shouted at police and a police dog and engaged in ‘racist football-style chants’ – and received 20 months behind bars. Does anyone think that’s fair? With the summer holidays over and the anniversary of 7 October looming on the horizon, the capital can likely expect the weekly pro-Gaza marches to soon start up again in earnest. This is another case where apparent double-standards in policing have been on regular display. n a recent report on the matter by Policy Exchange, even the man responsible for the force’s response to the protests, assistant commissioner Matt Twist, concedes that ‘we didn’t get everything right’... everyone remembers that Starmer’s response to the 2020 Black Lives Matter ‘protests’ in London – after dozens of police officers were injured – was to take the knee. It’s something his critics will not let him forget."

Free speech win as Judge throws out case against prosecuted Christian preacher after mob threatened to ‘cut his throat’ for criticising Islam - "CCTV footage revealed Christian preacher, Karandeep Mamman, 33, being assaulted, harassed and surrounded by an Islamic mob for critiquing the Quran. At a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court, Mr Recorder G Kelly threw out the case saying that because the Crown had refused to offer any evidence to the charges of religiously aggravated section 4A of the Public Order Act, only a verdict of Not Guilty could be entered against Mr Mamman. On 14 January 2023, Mr Mamman, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was exercising his freedom of expression and religion while preaching in Walsall town centre when he was confronted by a group of 20-30 Islamic men and women. Forming a ring around him, Mr Mamman said the group threatened to take him away, beat him up and ‘cut his throat.’... A witness statement obtained as part of Mr Mamman’s subsequent legal defence said that ‘he wanted to leave but the mob would not let him go.’ The mob followed and remonstrated with him until town centre security appeared and Mr Mamman was allowed to leave the scene. The CCTV footage also revealed two men assaulting and aggressively ripping apart a sign the Christian preacher was holding. Listing a series of Christian commands from the Bible, the sign included a symbol suggesting the prohibition of homosexual practice. The two men, reportedly a homosexual couple, can be seen in the footage calling the police, presumably to report an alleged ‘hate crime.’ As Mr Mamman left the scene, however, police officers arrived appearing to be concerned for his safety and checked if he was ok. Mr Mamman was therefore shocked to later be invited by the police to a voluntary interview and he was eventually charged under section 28 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 for causing religiously aggravated harassment, alarm and distress. Mr Mamman told the police said “I did not attack anybody in particular. I was just expressing my freedom of speech”. Lawyers representing Mr Mamman said that it was ‘an abuse of process to prosecute him for exercising his right to free speech.’ They added that Mr Mamman’s: “conduct in this case was peaceful protest that did not come near what the ECHR described as reprehensible act.” Furthermore, they said: “It is submitted that this prosecution should be stayed as an abuse of process as [Mr Mamman’s] speech was protected by Article 9 to 11 of the ECHR. To permit this prosecution would undermine public confidence in criminal justice system. What D said was based on historic and religious texts. There were no threats, there was no abuse. There was no invective towards an individual.” Defending Mr Mamman’s references to Islam terrorism, expert evidence was provided by Dr Martin Parsons. In his evidence, Dr Parsons provided a series of passages from the Quran which reveal the promotion of terror and the 164 verses that mention military Jihad"
Of course, if Muslims preach that all prophets after Muhammed are false, that's just religious expression
