Update: [12-year-old boy, who hit the headlines because his mother chose to fly to Ibiza for a holiday the day before he was due in court. District Judge Joanne Hirst ordered her to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court after her sunshine break, where she ordered her to pay £1,200 compensation and go on a parenting course.] [The boy was given a 12-month referral order after admitting two counts of violent disorder, a measure designed to prevent him committing further crimes. “Sometimes the state, I’m afraid, has to intervene,” Mr Parkinson said. “And the consequence of an intervention like the 12-year-old is a referral order, which would then mean that rehabilitation can take place and we can divert them from the path of criminality. “That’s the objective with youngsters, not to criminalise them, it’s to put them on the right path. “We have people who are specially trained around youth work, because it’s important we do make the right decisions.”] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html |

Was the 12 year old a concerned parent?

Jonathan Hall is right. A lack of swift clarity on the facts on the ground is a
dereliction of duty ![]() By MP Nigel Farage Six weeks on from the Southport attack in which three children were killed and a further eight were injured, along with two adults, sense is beginning to prevail. Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, gave a speech at a conference organised by the Counter Extremism Group think tank. In it, he spoke out against the danger of an “information vacuum” following such an atrocity. Hall said: “One of the problems and the consequences of the Southport attack was that there was an information gap, a vacuum, which was filled with false speculation”. He added: “I personally think that more information could have been put out safely without comprising potential criminal proceedings”. In taking this position, he was joined by another eminent lawyer, Lord Carlile of Berriew, who is a former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation. Carlile said “I think we should get out more information if we possibly can. We have learned from these events that when somebody is arrested, and there was a potential issue like this arising, the police probably need to tell the media who has been arrested and what their background is.” I have no doubt that millions of others in Britain would agree with the common sense approach of Hall and Carlile. I know that I do, which is why I posted a video the day after the attack which was very much aligned with their opinion. It is worth repeating what I said in it, for as a result of it, I have been blamed personally for the riots which followed. Having expressed my horror at what had happened, I noted that Sir Keir Starmer was heckled when he visited the town. I then said: “It shows you how unhappy the public are with the state of law and order in our country. I have to say there are one or two questions. Was this guy being monitored by the security services? Some reports say he was, others are less sure. The police say it’s a non-terror incident, just as they said the stabbing of an Army Lieutenant Colonel in uniform on the streets of Kent the other day was a non-terror incident. I just wonder whether the truth is being withheld from us. I don’t know the answer to that, but I think it is a fair and legitimate question.” I also spoke with Valdo Calocane in mind. He killed three people in Nottingham in June 2023. It later came to light that he had a history of mental illness and was known to the authorities. Only last month it emerged that a doctor warned three years before the attacks that Calocane’s illness was so acute he could “end up killing someone.” As a result of misinformation about the Southport attacker that appeared online – which had nothing to do with me – the riots there spread to other parts of the country. In no way did I – or do I – condone that mindless thuggery. But children had been massacred. Members of the public were angry and fearful. As Lord Carlile has said, institutions had a responsibility to provide some details about the attacker in order to counter the internet rumours that helped to trigger the violence. This information could have been released in a way that did not compromise any future criminal trial. Instead, the public was kept in the dark. So was every media outlet. The only facts that anybody officially had to go on came via the bland statement (which has never been updated) put out by Merseyside Police on the evening of the attack, in which the force said a 17-year-old male who was born in Cardiff had been arrested. Three days after the attack, on 1 August, the suspect was named publicly for the first time as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, after a judge at Liverpool Crown Court lifted reporting restrictions. But doesn’t this lack of swift clarity now look like a major dereliction of duty? Incredibly, as the riots took hold, many prominent individuals in politics and the media chose to leap on the fact that I had asked those perfectly legitimate questions in my video. In doing so, they set up a ludicrous narrative which blamed me personally for inciting the disorder. But with two legal experts now implying that the type of information which I asked about should have been forthcoming straight away, I wonder what Tom Tugendhat, James O’Brien, Trevor Phillips and the others who criticised me think now. Or do they disagree with the assessment of Hall and Carlile? My view is that Sir Keir Starmer – who, as he never tires of telling us, was the tough guy Director of Public Prosecutions for five years - bears a heavy responsibility for not ensuring that some authority was candid with the public at the earliest opportunity. For one thing, the information vacuum that had been created could have been filled by it being made clear that the perpetrator was not a Muslim, as had been rumoured online. Instead, nothing was added to that bland police statement. Starmer did make a speech from Downing Street about what had gone on in Southport, but he merely warned people not to prejudice the forthcoming prosecution. Does he really think the public didn’t have a right to know more about a crime like this? Is that a healthy state of affairs? Isn’t it the case that the active decision to keep the facts about the Southport killer from the public inflamed tensions? The boot is on the other foot now. The refusal to brief the media in a sensible way about the Southport attacker was an unforgivable mistake. Even Lord Carlile – a friend of Sir Keir Starmer – thinks so. For this reason it is absolutely necessary that Starmer is forced to explain why he thought it was a good idea for key information about the Southport attack to be withheld from the public. I, for one, will be doing my best to hold him to account on this. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...deserve-truth/ |

Is it something to do with brown people getting preferential treatment and honkys being regarded as 55th class citizens?

Do you honestly have no concept of the fact you're actually the one doing constant culture war stuff? C'mon; there's no way you can't see it.

Using the deaths of children as ammo in a culture war and then accusing other people of not putting a culture war aside to focus on the deaths of the same children. Absolute fking clown, this place really is genuinely unusable these days. Mind-boggling. .

In Finland
BBC reporter confronts Neo-Nazi who gave UK rioters arson tips Video on this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8l9gpp8yro [The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer. The 20-year-old was an administrator in the Southport Wake Up group on the Telegram messaging app, where he was known as “Mr AG”. He posted the arson manual, which was pinned to the top of the group chat. In late July and early August, the group was key in helping to organise and provoke protests that turned to violence in England and Northern Ireland. We tracked Mr AG - whose real name is Charles-Emmanuel Mikko Rasanen - to an apartment on the outskirts of the Finnish capital, Helsinki. It was from here, more than 1,000 miles away from Southport, that the neo-Nazi took a prominent online role during the UK riots.] |

I sort of agree that if it was just destruction of property/vandalism etc then a criminal record at 13 is harsh, kids that age have no real concept of these consequences.
That said - if it's more than that and she physically harmed/assaulted anyone then criminal record is warranted.
