Remember when the U.K. government arrested people for what they called “far right” protests after the killing of three young girls in Southport?
After three young girls were murdered by a teenage boy at their Taylor Swift dance class, scared and frustrated British people took to the streets to protest open borders and liberal politicians who refuse to keep them safe. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called these people racists and extremists. He said that the problem was a “rot” in the heart of the British people. People were arrested for their social media posts. The government said that this anti-immigration reaction was unreasonable and illegal!
Only they may have had a point. According to the charges, Axel Rudakubana, did have links to Al Qaeda training manuals and is being charged with terrorism. So the government owes these people an explanation. They were protesting an immigration policy that they think has made them unsafe and the government prosecuted them for doing so, only to turn around and validate that the terrorism fears are valid.
MP Robert Jenrick says that this has been a disservice to the British people and the Prime Minister owes them an explanation.
