.

ER Editor: We reported yesterday on the alleged stabbing of several children and adults at a dance school in Stockport on July 29. Three were reported to have died with others in critical condition. Public reaction on the street was very marked following this attack. Now it appears to be spreading, and especially in areas around hotels where migrants are being housed at taxpayer expense.

Southport Knife Attack Killed Three Children, Locals React

Demonstrations appear to be taking place in Manchester (not far from Southport on Merseyside, north-west of the country) and Hartlepool in the north-east, as well as London. We issue an MSM warning for The Guardian report below, however.

Former London mayoral candidate David Kurten provided an excellent rationale yesterday for why public outrage is legitimate.

More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings

Hartlepool and Manchester among latest scenes of violent disorder triggered by online disinformation about accused

More than 100 people have been arrested in London as further protests took place in several cities after the Southport stabbings.

A police car was set alight after a large group of people gathered in the Murray Street area of Hartlepool on Wednesday evening. Officers were attacked with missiles, glass bottles and eggs, Cleveland police said.

In Manchester, demonstrators turned out in large numbers outside the Holiday Inn hotel on Oldham Road at about 6pm on Wednesday, the Manchester Evening News reported.

About 40 people, which the paper reported included children and men wearing balaclavas, gathered outside the Oldham Road premises in what the paper said “appeared to be a stand against asylum seekers currently being housed in the hotel”.

In London, a large protest was staged under the title of Enough is Enough, with arrests made after demonstrators clashed with officers in Whitehall on Wednesday.

The Metropolitan police said: “Over 100 people have been arrested for offences including violent disorder, assault on an emergency worker, and breach of protest conditions. Some officers suffered minor injuries.”

Demonstrators were seen launching beer cans and glass bottles at a line of police in riot gear in front of Downing Street and throwing flares on to the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square.

The angry scenes also included loud chants of “we want our country back” and “Oh Tommy Robinson”, referring to the rightwing activist.

Eight people were arrested after rioters in Hartlepool threw missiles, glass bottles and eggs at police during a disturbance linked to events in Southport.

A police car was also set alight during large-scale unrest over several hours in Hartlepool town centre on Wednesday night.

The protest began at about 6pm and led to the rapid deployment of police officers from Cleveland police as well as neighbouring forces.

Several hundred people gathered on the streets. Pictures and videos show police with riot shields being threatened by protesters carrying wooden bats and poles. There were also children throwing missiles at police.

Some of those present were shouting anti-immigrant slogans.

At one point police rescued a group of three men and a woman who appeared to have been trapped in a terrace house. The woman was carried to safety by a member of her group, and was highly distressed as she seemed to have had a panic attack.

Officers in riot gear moved quickly down a street and extracted the group from a terrace house where youths had gathered outside.

Firefighters extinguished a police car that had been set ablaze in the disorder. After crews moved on people were seen posing for selfies in front of the burnt-out vehicle.

The town centre standoff between protesters and police went on until about midnight.

Ch Supt David Sutherland of Cleveland police said: “At this stage we believe the protest is in connection with the incident in Southport earlier this week. Our officers are facing missiles, glass bottles and eggs being thrown at them and have made arrests as they remain in the area to protect the safety of those living in the community.”

In Manchester, the local councillor John Flanagan wrote on social media to respond to the violence, labelling those involved in the “sickening” incident as “mindless idiots”.

“I’d like to condemn these mindless thugs, attacking innocent men who are asylum seekers. They have been there for months and we have not had any issues or problems. They have been in a place of safety,” the councillor for Miles Platting and Newton Heath said.

“We cannot allow our country and our city to descend into anarchy, which seems to be being driven by madness on social media.”

In Aldershot, the local MP Alex Baker rebuked the violence in her community, stating there was “no justification for disorderly behaviour and the scenes do not represent Aldershot and Farnborough”.

  1. This has nothing to do with “We cannot allow our country and our city to descend into anarchy, which seems to be being driven by madness on social media.”
    This has everything to do with aggressive, ruthless, intentional population replacement by unelected billionaire globalist freaks intent on ruining Western civilization.

  2. Ioannis G – pretending to be focused on ‘facts’ and positing the attacker was ‘born in Wales’ with parents hailing from Rwanda so there’s PROBABLY no way the killer was influenced in any degree by his heritage … is disingenuous.
    No, wait.
    It’s quite obtuse, really…. do you know anything about Rwanda’s recent history of nearly-accomplished tribal genocide? Who do you think the illegal migrants are?
    One guess for you – hint – OFFSPRING.
    Offspring mentally and violently damaged by their countrys’ insanity barely 40 years ago.
    But your comments are worse than not knowing – you are part of the problem that says “but, but WE CITIZENS ARE MORE BAD THAN THEY ARE!!”
    Maybe you are; I am not and I do not detract from the FACT that a 2nd generation (foreigner) KILLED THREE CHILDREN AND WOUNDED MORE.
    Was he Muslim? Was he Christian? Who cares!?
    He killed three children and wounded more in a country CRAWLING WITH AGGRESSIVE DEMANDING MILITARY-AGE MALES FROM COUNTRIES SWAMPED WITH VIOLENCE AND HATRED FOR WESTERN CULTURE.
    If the poor boy () isn’t exactly a member of such-and-such, too bad: the influx of illegal migration has caused and inflamed this situation and THE COUNTRYMEN ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THREE CHILDREN KILLED.
    I hope the heads stay hot and angry and reactive long enough to put a stop to the ruined and violent mentality coming across the channel.

  3. Apparently, the attacker was a Christian whose family is very involved in the local church. A Muslim asks if the church will not be attacked by the rioters who assumed the attacker was Muslim and attacked the local mosque. I ask again if the attacker had converted to Islam. Let’s get this straight.

  4. The English language has gone down the toilet. Verbs, participles, prepositions, pronouns. “In Aldershot, Hampshire, protesters are demanding migrants BE evicted from a local hotel”.

    The attacker was not a migrant, he was born in Wales. Country of parents’ origin, Rwanda, is majority Christian, tiny point-zero-something percentage Muslim. Did anyone do their homework to find out if the attacker is Muslim?

    I’m simply advocating FACTS before action.
