What led up to the summer disorder was ultimately the withholding of information about Axel Rudakubana

I’ll just start with this: How was the murder of those little girls and the attempted murder of everyone else not a terrorist offence?

How can it be that the Crown Prosecution Service and police know he’s got a manual literally called: Military Studies in the Jihad against Tyrants:The al-Qaeda Training manual…as well as ricin, in his bedroom, and not put two and two together and say he committed a terror attack?!

So they say they can’t prosecute him for terrorism…well that seems weird.

Especially when you consider Callum Parslow attacked an Eritrean at a migrant hotel, he had Hitler’s signature on his arm and tried to post a terrorist manifesto on social media. That was classed immediately as a terror offence.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

Does it not seem like the authorities have done their best to make sure Axel Rudakubana’s case could not be seen as a jihadi terror attack?

This brings us on to the idea of a cover-up, doesn’t it?

We were initially told that Rudukabana was not known to authorities. That is not true.

He was referred to the counter-extremism Prevent programme three times and police had visited his home address on numerous times.

He had a history of violence, he was expelled from school and attacked another pupil with a hockey stick.

The police MUST have known this when they were telling everyone to calm down, he’s just a quiet Welsh choir boy.

And crucially, at what point did Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper know…. a) about his troubled past and b) that he had been found with a jihadi terror manual and ricin?

Did they know when they went and did this?

Did they not know they weren’t just dealing with a nutter with a knife – this had all the hallmarks of an Islamist terror attack?

I suspect they did. Because the day after the attack, Starmer said he’d been briefed by police

And then let’s add to this perception of a cover-up. We were all shown a picture of a young Axel Rudakubana

And then, today, after he’s pleaded guilty, we finally get the mugshot.

Why was the media, and the public, denied that picture until now?

Does that not indicate that there’s an attempt here to portray him as a young, angelic looking schoolboy instead of the evil, demonic monster that he se clearly is?

Interesting too is the fact that there’s been quite a lot of debate about the timing of the trial, with it starting on the same day as President Trump’s inauguration – the biggest news day of the year; and the fact that there was no indication that Rudakubana would suddenly change his plea at the last minute. For some, particularly as the victims’ families weren’t even in Court today by all accounts, it all seems an extraodinary coincidence. Equally it seems unlikely that anyone would have predicted his last minute change of plea.

Now we’re being told that’s a good thing, by the prosecutor.

Now Yvette Cooper has come out and said this: “We need more independent answers on both Prevent and all the other agencies that came into contact with this extremely violent teenager as well as answers on how he came to be so dangerous, including through a public inquiry that can get to the truth about what happened and what needs to change.

“We need more independent answers on both Prevent and all the other agencies that came into contact with this extremely violent teenager as well as answers on how he came to be so dangerous, including through a public inquiry that can get to the truth about what happened and what needs to change.”

But I hope they can look themselves in the mirror, because when both her and Starmer appeared to be telling everyone they were far right racists for thinking this was an Islamist attack, did they know a lot more than they were letting on?

In my view, what led up to the summer disorder was ultimately the withholding of information about Axel Rudakubana.
