Trying to second guess what the motivations of the perpetrator of such a heinous crime is worse than a waste of time. If it spills over into the kind of disgusting behaviour we saw it diverts police resources unnecessarily and potentially hands gifts to defence lawyers.

The internet is largely responsible. Or more accurately people believing everything they read there that fits their own narratives.

It's not an excuse. It's a reason and that you won't accept it makes no difference.

The BBC are reporting that the prosecution argued against revealing the name.

“Arguing against naming the defendant, the prosecution said he had an "autism spectrum disorder diagnosis" and had been "unwilling to leave the house and communicate with family for a period of time".

This might explain the lengthy questioning. Perhaps he is non communicative.

We may never get to hear what motivated this.

When we know absolutely nothing about the motivations of, or influences on, the perpetrator, to speculate on what they might be is a disservice to the victims and those whose job it is to find out.

If and when we know will be the time for analysis and reflection. Not now and not until. That is unlikely to be before October when a trial is scheduled.

Far too many are making second guesses, regarding the guess as fact and deciding to take action because the “authorities” aren’t.

That’s not the way we do things.

I’m not sure who you’re referring to as ‘we’. Is that the sane ‘we’ who have overseen the shambles the country is in to the extent that children are being stabbed to death at random and the focus is immediately upon those who react to this?

As I’ve mentioned several times over, a response was almost immediate in deciding to take action against the unrest, which pales in comparison to some very recent and other less recent events of similar circumstance. This demonstrates said action as more of a priority than identifying why children are being murdered in this country at random and how to stop this happening. You’ve literally tried to justify why this is a priority to you and already flouted the idea that there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. The cowardice of anybody concerned with prioritising anything above this nightmarish reality is sickening and treacherous in any society. I’d even go as far as to call it evil. Morally bereft, gutless weasels, more concerned with a few bricks chucked and a raucous crowd than with children being murdered.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Since world war 2 and specifically since Blair took office in the nineties British government have allowed wave after wave of unwanted and unasked for immigration into Britain.

This is despite constant pledges to reduce immigration in pretty much every Tory manifesto. Direct lying to their voters.

Powell made very specific warnings in the late sixties on the course that elites had decided upon.

He never joined any 'far right' organisation, despite being called that name he simply laid out the reality of what these choices meant. He suffered for his people...unlike the left he knew the folly of what was being done....the people supported him, yet the elites rejected him.

He was the brightest amongst them and he was right and they weren't fit to clean his shoes. Never forget that the Tories then, as now, were being led by centralists....In fact it's the Tories who are responsible for most of the immigration due to their much larger time in office.

The guy who was sent to jail for labels on lamp-posts....yes, this country has political prisoners for non violent actions.....He told much more of the truth than the government today. The government talk about misinformation yet they are guilty of this all the time....creating narratives rather than being honest.

For example, when this attack happened we got the news that the Police said it wasn't connected to terrorism, yet since then they have dropped this to something they are investigating.....I have to be frank....I don't trust them.

Starmer gave a speech all about how he wanted to punish those who rioted....despite him never saying anything about punishing people from previous riots, leading to the charge of two tier policing and of the white working class being treated differently.

What did he say about protecting the white working class from what's been visited on them? Instead he pledges over a hundred million for mosques.
