Plenty of other stories of an angel faced choir boy. He wasn’t though was he. “The usual racist” were right he was a violent thug expelled from school and so dangerous social workers asked for police protection when speaking to him.

Weren’t most of the riots more just a case of people being fucked off with immigration? The Southport killings kicked it off but don’t think these twats rioting  in Rotherham etc were concerned about those events and what info was coming out

Yep, there’d been pockets of trouble in some of the East Midlands and northern towns where the hotels were for a couple of years at least.

Southport was the excuse, the reason people didn’t riot after London Bridge, 7/7 (I was on the north bound tube) was because the economy was doing better. The EDL were wrongly reported as being organisers because of some knuckle draggers chanting for Tommy Robinson but the very active and dangerous Patriotic Alternative were actually cited as being involved and certainly promoted it actively around the far right and white supremacist circuit.

The group cited by Michael Gove as a group of sharply increasing concern and extremist motivations https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/uk-riots-patriotic-alternative-fundraiser-b2626667.html

Those rioting weren’t for the most part far right troublemakers? Give me a break  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13719905/Far-right-thugs-humbled-face-justice-Rioter-28-shakes-cries-court-admits-punching-black-man-protester-knocked-ground-police-shield-admits-spitting-officers-three-jailed-today-violent-demos.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/world/europe/neo-nazi-uk-riots-elon-musk.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/09/riots-latest-news-protesters-stay-home/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots

Good brief article here stating the EDL disbanded and wrongly pinned on riots, but PA and other white extremist groups were very active, and why they should be tagged extremists not terrorists as it gives them oxygen they want https://icct.nl/publication/british-disorder-why-we-need-take-far-right-violence-more-seriously

So why was he referred to Prevent three times? 

Expand  

Because of his obsession with violence, the reason they didn’t do anything was because he wasn’t seen as an Islamic extremist.

From the BBC:

An initial review over the summer found Prevent failed to flag Rudakubana as a serious threat because he did not exhibit a commitment to a single radical ideology, Cooper told the Commons.

She said the three referrals took place after he expressed an interest in school shootings, the 2017 London Bridge attack, the IRA, MI5 and the Middle East.

"Too much weight was placed on the absence of ideology," Cooper said, in light of the fact Rudakubana was "obsessed with massacre or extreme violence".

Cooper said it was "unbearable to think that something more could and should have been done" to stop him, and that "action against him was much too weak".

Yes it was a lot to do with that. Rotherham of course has had its own issues with Asian grooming gangs so it was always going to be a bit of a powder keg for this subject

It was mostly to do with foreigners coming here and doing stuff to English children-specifically girls. That's what caused everything to kick off as well as the nice weather of course. Wouldn't catch people out in January.

I see that the government is now blaming Amazon and the knife for the Southport attack. Personally I think we should just ban taxis then he never woukd have been able to get to the little girl's dance class.

can we put foreigners being overrepresented in prison down to racism?

Stuff like this should be discussed more sensibly. It won't be of course but it should.

Dunno, you’d have break down the offences. Objectively you could say language barriers might stop some people understanding they’ve committed an offence but you’ve got to do something fairly serious to get banged up. Guly drink-driving wasn’t enough for example, maybe if he’d really been 4 times over and hit something really out of control. Most people would know being that pissed and driving is trouble anywhere. Certainly if it involves non-prescription drugs, people would know heroin, coke etc isn’t something to trade or posses in any quantity. Or trading people. And if they’ve been warned a few times about saying driving without a licence/insurance and won’t stay off the road…a magistrate might not have a choice.

That does undermine my suspicions but there is more to come out. Sadly I do not have much trust in what we are being told.

I am mixed on O’Brien. Clearly an intelligent person and can debate very eloquently and comedically but also feels very blinkered at times. 
like above calling out Amazon selling a knife. They are not hard to get hold of and pretty sure I could buy something from John Lewis that would kill someone with a couple of stabs.

Like you say he's clearly intelligent and erudite no matter how much his critics pretend he's not. I'm almost certain he deliberately says inflammatory things for clicks and attention. There's no way he seriously believes some of the stuff he says.

I believe he is the perfect radio-man. Middle class enough to get his point across in a well-educated and respectable manner, which people take seriously due to his being middle-class.

 

Yet perfect also in his deluded dogma of opinion - the TalkSport of political discussion.

Listening to the details it is absolutely pathetic to blame this on amazon or the knife. This man was evil and he would have committed this act as long as he wasn't stopped regardless of being able to buy a knife online. The most terrifying aspect is how random it is, there's absolutely nothing the adults involved could have done and no reason it couldn't be anyones children.

nothing to be ashamed of, i dont think anyone couldn't be moved by this. A lot of sick stuff has happened in the world but on balance this is up there with one of the worst things in my lifetime for sure. How does someone become that evil?

Yep. Other than have strict security protocols in every single building, there's not a lot you can do. And we, rightly, don't want to live in a society like that.

Tragedies like this are inevitable and happen (more or less) everywhere. Doesn't make them any less despicable and doesn't make it any less awful if the authorities should have intervened with this guy sooner.

Agree. In cases like this, where the level of depravity is so high and there is no doubt of guilt, it should be an option.

Yeah, but then you need legal tests for "100% guilty". Things will always go wrong.

I couldn't finish reading the impact statements as some were too upsetting. I'm almost certain his sentence will be changed to life without parole and hopefully someone does the tax payer a favour in short order.

I would actually rate this as even worse than that the Jamie Bulger murder, and I never thought I’d be typing that. What was especially sickening is the admittance that he quite deliberately went for the smallest and what he perceived as the weakest kids. He is definitely bad, evil, calculating, not mad, prison is going to be hell for him.

52 years of watching his back with plenty of beatings thrown in - assuming he'll be sent to the 'right' prison full of prisoners who won't be happy he's there.

Then there's the zero chance of parole and doubtless many increases in his sentence due to bad behaviour he's no choirboy apparently!

In the incredibly unlikely event he gets out in 52 years, he'll be 70!!

My exact criticism of the legalised suicide bill but seemingly no scruples about that in general and this is much more useful potentially.
