I know it’s not a competition, & everyone is equally horrified, I’ve got a daughter who is the same age & I just can’t get my head around the absolutely depravity of it. It’s genuinely made me feel sick
I understand that. Honestly. It IS awful. But people trying to understand why or how doesn't mean they think it any less of an atrocity.

I know that but I’m saying you can’t compare it to other crimes, it’s too brutal and horrific and too soon, and people are going to have strong views both ways. That’s why there are riots, because people are furious

Ah but I didn’t actually give my opinion on that, my best friend is Muslim and I don’t think it is anything to do with migration (hence me saying people are committing crimes from all walks of life) so to call me ignorant is uncalled for. The only said everyone is entitled to give their own opinion and if you don’t like it or you can’t respect it then ignore or just move on.
I think we can probably all have a Reasonable discussion here and disagree with each other on various points but hopefully come to some common ground. This was an horrific crime and I think we all agree and disagree on various points and hopefully be able to express opposing views. I think part of the problem in this country is that opposing views are shut down as woke/far right and no one is actually having a conversation about the issues

Totally agree 🩷 tensions are so incredibly high at the moment. I think everyone is living in a high state of anxiety currently

We are more horrified because they are little, vulnerable, tiny little girls they are CHILDREN!!! Tiny little girls terrified knifed to death by a bleeping deranged monster, without their mums or dads to protect them, fuxking terrified can you imagine the absolute pain and horror! It goes against every fuckkng fibre of human nature! Why the actual duck are you even trying to minimise & compare it!
That's your interpretation. I am not minimizing it. Because I think any murder is one too much. No one deserve to have their life taken away no matter their age or gender.

A woman coming back from work got stabbed a few months ago in London. Don't you think she got as afraid as any of those young girls? Don't you think her family and friends are as saddened as the families of the victims of Southport? We shouldn't put a hierarchy in term of pain when something like this happen. It's horrific in any case.


People are rioting because they’re fed up. Yes there’s better ways of doing things but people are bleeping angry! And they seem to be getting demonised more than a child knifing, murdering, sick bleeping monster who went in court and SMILED!!!
Sure, because attacking a mosque, the shop of a Sri Lankan (even though Sri Lanka people are not muslim) or police officers will solve anything? I want demonstrations to ask more funding for the police - Tories repeatedly cut the number of police officers the last 14 years - and for social services monitoring troubled people. Not demonstrations to threaten minorities, spread hatred and bring chaos.

I'm not 'policing' anyone's opinion thanks, I'm giving my own opinion back.

Although if your opinion is that the Southport murders has anything to do with migration and/or Muslims then you are ignorant
People might think you’re ignorant? How do you know the attacker wasn’t racist?? How can you rule it out completely, you don’t have enough information

I can’t even respond to that because we’ll argue. I completely disagree with near enough everything you’re saying. But you have your opinion I’ll have mine

All the people on here that are saying that the butchering of children has nothing to do with the monsters race, ethnicity, cultural background, parents, anything whatsoever… etc, are also saying that the rioters are absolutely, 100%, rioting because of race, ethnicity, cultural background etc… it’s bull! how can you be so certain one way but not the other?!

Has anything been said about the taxi journey? Was his behaviour strange? Was anything said? Did he specifically ask to go the address? I may have missed this amongst the focus on autism and rioting
I think he must have, it's certainly not on a direct route from Banks into Southport town centre or even from Banks up to the out of town retail park at Meols Cop.

To lighten the mood, the Welsh debate is giving “if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike” 😭😭😭😭 (let’s all focus on the real story here that 3 beautiful girls lost their lives and many others have been injured! Where he’s from doesn’t actually matter in the grand scheme of it all!)
when there is any 'incident', one of my first thoughts is please don't let the perpetrator be Muslim/British/Asian/POC/Female/From my town- I think it is the 'yes, this person is the same '____' as me but let me distance myself'
Those protesters who turned out in Southport...no decent Tattler is like them, yet being proud to be English is not a bad thing.
This is knowing you are a good person so don't want any link to be made between you and say a murderer-you don't want any association. I get that

Realistically non of us know the motive yet. But there have been rising tensions and I think trust in the police has broken down. They didn’t have any capacity so were running away in Leeds yet they managed to arrest a couple of 70 year old women for ‘leaflets’ the other day. I’m not saying I want them to go Dirty Harry on everyone but actually if you join the rozzers then you need to be aware you have to do a bit of physical work and put yourself in dangerous situations. I don’t have the answer of what they should do but it feels like the trust has been lost.

my guess is that the lad is seriously mentally ill - perhaps highly delusional

we don't know much at the moment which is how it should be


the racists using this an excuse to vent their hate are despicable

Leeds keeps being used as an example but the riot was never expected. Officers who did retreat were not riot trained and were not equipped to deal with the crowds and violence there.

At what level though, can a situation be deemed TOO dangerous and allow officers to retreat?

Officers face abuse on a daily basis - verbally abused, spat at, pushed, punched etc. They are fully aware that things get physical.

100’s of officers put themselves in such situations this week and how many were injured? Both human and animal.
The bigger picture to that is that already under staffed areas, are even more understaffed when there may be more protests/riots being planned.

Yeah, I’m not saying it is ok to assault police btw as I come from supportive police background in NI. So maybe I am just more used to police coming out on the streets in riot gear. It does feel like they are woefully underprepared if something does go seriously wrong in England.

Severely understaffed. It’s scary and the last week or so has really proved so.

So he’s not inciting violence but is basically advising people to go smash up buildings and cars… make it make sense?!

Walker has spent many years in prison for a variety of crimes including violence, firearms and drug supply

Not someone I would personally take advice from 🫠
