The stabbing attack in Southport has rocked a nation.
In short order riots led by agitator’s erupted in neighbourhoods and spread across the UK. The fact remains children were at the centre of the initial incident and not thugs on streets.
Sadly three lives were lost and eight were injured alongside a few adults. The narrative so far is the UK is sinking into a far-right whirlpool of public disorder but an incident such as this warrants further comment about the age of its victims.
The context is hardly enlightening. It’s the target themselves who are the point.
The reasons for political agitation are part of a long-running dispute between street activists and journalistic personalities. The tit-for-tat is the usual tattle of a separate class.
Yet this incident isn’t a likely occurrence in the UK.
If it wasn’t to indulge a sadistic sort of rage that a young man has, why did a normal boy by all appearances seek to do it? The facts and stats about this young man’s life may yet reveal more about the steps he took to a horrible act.
It still remains that children’s lives were lost in a terrible tragedy.
The focus is on these and not yobbish behaviour.
