The world is increasingly seeing a rise in far right politics and the UK saw domestic terror fueled by Monday’s fatal stabbings of six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiarat at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class by 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, born in Cardiff, Wales and of Rwandan descent, a resident of the Lancashire village of Banks near Southport.Sadly far right and neo-Nazi groups have hijacked the tragic stabbings in Southport as the underbelly of fascism reared its ugly head to bring violent disorder to the streets in cities spanning the UK.The misinformation about the attacker being alleged to be a Muslim asylum seeker who arrived on a small boat spread online through false posts on social media and led to violent unrest across the UK as far right anti-immigration demonstrations escalated into riots with extreme terror seeing violence unfold against the police, the looting of stores, the torching of buildings, attacks on Mosques and clashes with anti-racism campaigners.

On Thursday the suspect Rudakubana appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court and was charged with three murders, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a knife.In an exceptional ruling at Liverpool crown court, Judge Menary KC cited “idiotic rioting” around the UK as a reason to lift the anonymity order in the public interest and to end the false spread of online misinformation. Photos of Rudakubana, as a young schoolboy were also released.In a youth court minors have an automatic right to anonymity under Section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 when facing criminal charges and reporting restrictions for defendants under 18 in an adult court in many cases. However, reporters can challenge these restrictions especially if it is in the public interest.During the 55-minute hearing Rudakubana who refused to speak had his face covered with his sweatshirt up to his hairline and kept his head down as the judge told him: “You are remanded to youth detention accommodation until these proceedings have been completed. That position might change when you achieve your [age of] majority in a short while.”Rudakubana will appear at Liverpool crown court next on October 25 and a provisional trial date has been set for January 20.

The UK’s Muslims have been left feeling “terrorised” by the extreme far right according to a charity Tell Mama as their analysis showed a surge in anti-Islamic hate crimes. A total of 10 mosques have been attacked or faced threats.

Iman Atta, Tell Mama’s director said that data indicated that “the extreme far right’s misinformation and disinformation” falsely linked Muslims to the Southport attacks:

“led to far-right anti-Muslim hate marches across the UK, and to the far right mobilising and spreading more hate online. It is a direct result of the surge in far-right activity”.

On Thursday at a press conference in Downing Street, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced new national “capability” across police forces to combat violent disorder seen in the UK and called those responsible “a tiny, mindless minority in our society”.

Starmer also stated:

“That’s the very least that we owe these families. But we also owe them justice. So, while there’s a prosecution that must not be prejudiced, for them to receive the justice that they deserve the time for answering those questions is not now.I remind everyone that the price for a trial that is prejudiced is ultimately paid by the victims and their families, who are deprived of the justice that they deserve.”

On Saturday the cities of Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Belfast and others saw the violent disorder continue. The destruction ensued on Sunday when a mob torched a Rotherham Holiday Inn used to house asylum seekers.

Sir Keir Starmer warned the nation that those involved in violence would “regret” it and feel the “full force of the law”.The prime minister said:

“The police will be making arrests. Individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow.“I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves.“This is not a protest, it is organised, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets or online.”
