• The North West Ambulance Service says paramedics treated at least eight victims with stab injuries

'A worker at the Bridge Café on the road told Metro: ‘I’ve been told that a man went into a Yoga studio and stabbed a number of really young children.
‘I’ve got no idea why anyone would do this, or why someone would do this.
‘I feel sick, there was a class on apparently and he just walked in with a knife.
‘You hear about these things happening in America but you just never ever think that something like this would happen in this country.’

He says the incident happened at the Hope of Hart children's club, which is down a back street in a former warehouse building.
He says the victims were children, and describes one girl on a stretcher covered in blood.
"Her parents were running after her. It was horrendous. I’ve never seen anything like it.
"There were so many police cars. It was a mass of blue lights.
"I saw ambulance men and women in tears. People were in tears in the streets."

I was about to make another Loisoince joke.

Rumours going around on twitter/x that 6 children were stabbed with one dead. The perpetrator attacked a nursery. Horrific.

This cunt should be taken around the back of the nearest cop shop and riddled with bullets.

Yeah, cause the UK has never had a mass stabbing before

If only those bloody Tories hadn't got rid of the knoife bins, this fine bloke would have been able to bin his knoife!

‘You hear about these things happening in America but you just never ever think that something like this would happen in this country.’

Imagine saying something like that while living in Bongland. Jesus christ

This is only going to get worse.

Thank God that the knife has been captured and now everyone is safe.

Not a massively diverse area, still possible but more likely some chav who was having relationship problems or something since Southport is basically one big council estate at this point.

More rope is needed. Much more.

Southport is white as fuck. It's possible but unlikely

 

[Sailor Kim Jong Moon]

The children’s hospital has declared a major incident. That’s really fucking sad.

It's also got a lot of asylum seekers in hotels.

I'm from nearby, although haven't lived in the region for well over a decade. Having spoken to friends in recent years, it seems like the demographic has been shifting for a few years now. Think a lot of the hotels along the prom were used to house asylum seekers.
