Axel Rudakubana’s murder of three children and wounding of others at a Taylor Swift dance class shocked the nation last summer and served as the spark which ignited the riots. It is therefore with great relief that I can report that the Government and their media lackeys have finally worked out what the problem is!
Is it the fact that he was referred to Prevent, the Government programme designed to identify and deradicalise potential terrorists, on three separate occasions?
Is it the fact that the police had visited the family home numerous times in the months leading up to the attack?
Is it the fact that up to 40,000 thousand potential Islamic terrorists are on a Government watch list?
These are all reasonable questions, of course, which is precisely why they are not being asked. Instead, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper today explained that it was a “total disgrace” that the murderer was “easily able to order a knife on Amazon” despite having a previous conviction for violence and being just 17. The Prime Minister described Rudakubana as the “two-click killer”. The result? Cooper has promised to “bring in stronger measures to tackle knife sales online in the Crime and Policing Bill this spring."
Rejoice, citizens of Great Britain - your safety is now assured!
If for some reason you are not satisfied by this approach, help is available. Radio presenter James O'Brien, the undisputed spiritual leader of Britain’s Moron Industrial Complex, whose job it is to tell normies what to believe in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance of having to face reality, is on hand to help.
He begins reasonably enough by pointing out that the killer bought his knife on Amazon. Why is this significant? After all, Rudakubana could have simply taken a knife from his kitchen or waited a week for his 18th birthday and bought one from any shop in the country. It’s significant, O’Brien explains, because “Amazon of course is owned by Jeff Bezos”. Jeff Bezos was sitting in the row behind Donald Trump at the latter’s inauguration.” Ooh, how quickly the plot thickens. O’Brien continues his stunning bout of investigative journalism by exclusively revealing that one of the thousands of videos Rudakubana watched before committing his crimes was published on X, which, as you all know, is owned by Elon Musk, who not only “got on stage” at the inauguration but “did the Nazi salutes”. Musk, of course, did no such thing but was instead misrepresented by people like James O’Brien in a way that they would never do with politicians whose views they like and support.
O’Brien concludes by stating that he is “not given to hyperbole” before suggesting that Bezos and Musk, two men who had nothing whatsoever to do with the Southport stabbings, are in fact the people we should be focussing on.
If you are somehow shocked by these developments, I envy you. Those of us who comment on these issues regularly are beginning to see a pattern.
