If he was White it would be a "white supremacist act of terror". That's how you know he's some shade of poop.

I now have a conspiracy theory that they’ll stop issuing descriptions of white suspects to normalise their little tricks and ruin the “guess the race” game.

Anyone else noticed how hard it is to find info about happenings on Twitter these days? It used to be you searched the town name and you’d get locals mouthing off with names and descriptions.

Since “based Elon” took over you just see Russia bots arguing with GCHQ bots.

I’m now sure when a happening does happen Twitter shadow bans all the useful discussion.

Facebook's usually good for local news. Folks talk a lot.

“The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.”

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

But it means going on Facebook and it utter depresses me that people I liked turned absolutely retarded.

The Beeb are trying to do damage control so hard they broke their own CMS.

Major incident has an actual meaning withing UK emergency services.

Yeah we already has someone post the unverified tweet alongside a load of other unverified tweets that contradict it.

Banks is in Lancashire and not Merseyside (i.e. Liverpool), so it would be Lancashire mental health services.

That smells of bullshit.

This could be a county lines thing were they moved a retard out of Liverpool hoping he’d stop hanging around with his dickhead mates before he end up in prison, but deals anyway because he’s friends are a short drive away.

Lack of a description still has me playing guess the race.

Press conference on now. Two children dead, seven children injured (edit: 6 critical), two adults injured (edit: both critical).

Attacker lived in Banks but is from Cardiff (Wales for those not familiar with UK geography).

Edit: They're again repeating that they don't believe it's terror-related. Time will tell, I guess.

BBC are showing it (edit: now over): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cevwgqz0x41t#player

I quoted the article posted above, not a tweet.

Now whether that is a reputable source or not is another story.

All that means is the guy is not claiming to be doing this for ISIS/IRA/Whomever. It means nothing else.

Also, the police helped protect muslim rapists for 20 years. Anything they say is a lie. Anything the press has said is a lie.

This is not terror related. This has never been terror related.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

I'm not disagreeing with either of you. Was just taking notes as the presser was happening.

All bets open then. One of the canton Somalis, the Cathays Muslims? Place your bets

I’d like to apologise to you. I phrased the post poorly. I wasn’t having a dig at you, I meant to aim it at the BBC.

It was retard phrasing on my behalf.

From Cardiff? My money is on the surname Jones.

Its always the ones you expect that defend this shit.

Have you been to Cardiff recently? It’s a hole these days. Cathays is being bulldozed to build a mosque and canton has been Somali central for a long time. The inner city areas from the uni down to the bay are slums. The bits north east of roath park and up the river are still nice and the outlying villages like wenvoe are too, but the bits south of that are shitholes.
I will stand corrected if he’s a jones, but my bet is on an al-something

Last time I was there was twenty odd years ago and this just saddened me. It was a really fun city fresh off all that 90s money and tons of really good pubs.
