I think one of the countries most horrific crimes in recent memory deserves a thread. Even just to express our shock and offer condolences to the families of those killed and fighting for their lives. Luckily it is not something we have to deal with regularly but nevertheless absolutely heartbreaking.

As a Sale fan I find that quite offensive.

Southport mate.

Awful stuff.

Seeing the pictures of those little girls is making it very real, and even more heartbreaking.

So incredibly sad, can't imagine what the poor families and friends are going through.

Absolutely tragic, every time I read something about it I tear up. My daughter is a similar age to some of the victims.

Horrific. Very close to home and really is worst nightmare stuff. Anything with kids just breaks me, but this feels far worse.

We're away at the moment but the venue is a few hundred yards away from my youngest's nursery. My wife has taken him to baby groups there.

Spent yesterday hoping none of my eldest's classmates were involved, as I've no idea how I'd begin to explain that to him. Despite it being an isolated event it will make dropping him off at holiday clubs this summer very difficult.

Blackmac's clearly got a similar issue as my extended family when it comes to Stockport and Southport

Edit - I can't imagine the scene first responders and members of the public would have had to deal with afterwards.

Apologies for that.

No need to apologise. Good of you to create a thread.

Utterly sickening, I can’t get my head round it.

Even if someone was to have such a warped ideology or disturbed inclination to want to do something like that I will never understand how they can actually find a way to commit the actual act.

Utterly senseless !

DAC/Yaxley-Lennon's mates rioting outside a mosque in town tonight. Police injured

Opportunist scum on a day out.

Come back from the vigil to find out these knuckle draggers are using this as an excuse to riot. Can see a large column of smoke out of our window.

Helicopters buzzing around. The EDL have mobilised their mob.
Just a few minutes walk away from me

Heartbreakingly unfathomable.

What’s happened, was the attacker Muslim?

Either way I can’t imagine those that have lost their children want this.

No, he’s not.

The knuckle draggers don’t need an excuse.

Muslims in Southport will be living in fear.

Dunno what to say

Time for a few a few baton rounds to let the cunts know they speak for no-one but themselves.

If there's any terrorism going on tonight, it's by these wankers !

I think I need to walk up to the mosque in the morning to see if there is any way to support our Muslim neighbours.

I think that would be brilliant, dunno how busy the place is but there’ll generally be people about from about half hour before prayer times:

We had a nasty incident a few years ago and it was comforting to know that the community supported us.

Cheers for that, about lunchtime looks best.

My friend lives on the same street as the Mosque is on.
Fuckers set her bin on fire.
Terrifying. If anyone has thrown a stone or causes trouble then they are going to be on police and soc ital media coverage.
I hope they throw the book at the EDL rent a mob crowd and proscribe the vile organisation.

It must have beeen terrifying round there this evening. I hope the muppets get rounded up and charged. What fuckwit thinks this is helping anyone, thick as shit.

Hard to think of the right words, the parents must be in enough turmoil already without this bollocks.

Anyone mind if the coppers kick a few of those cnuts in the head?

By the looks of it they have a lot in common with the airport thugs, best to put them in a room together so they can find that common ground

When he gets hit in the balls is hilarious

Second set of total fuckwits rioting in as many weeks. The country is in a bad place and you have to wonder whether another incident will see it all boil over.

Utter tragedy for the parents, cannot comprehend the attack

Bloody hell the mess and damage being shown on TV this morning is unbelievable. I reckon the shitstains that organised that will be getting a severe wake up call soon and very heavy sentences.

The EDL shipped in thugs and on social media they even gave instructions of nearby streets to park.
The right wing twats were told to fuck off by residents and even told residents they were mobilising to "protest" hmm outside the Mosque.

It's appalling. Dozens of police injured. Trashing that part of town. I hope they throw the book at them.

Absolute pricks exploiting a tragedy.

Predictably the proto fascists on PR approve

No words can describe the behaviors of this bunch of racist, xenophobic hooligan twats last night. No feckin respect for the loss of children, those grieving nor those looking after badly injured children or family. The two adults badly injured whilst trying to protect the children and those who ran toward danger to rescue the children from harm are a million times braver than this low life and represent the country I belong to more than these feckers. Luckily the 'rent-a-mob racists' are a small but violent minority who must not be allowed to take over the narrative. I feel particularly sorry for the police, ambulance and the emergency staff who having had to face unimaginable horror then have to face foaming mouthed racist hooligans 24 hours later.

However what annoys me more than anything is the completely unacceptable behavior and 'call to arms' from the likes of Farage, Anderson, Tice, Goodwin, et al who basically decided to make the horrors of Southport an opportunity to peddle their filth and racism. They must be held to account! They are just cunts plain and simple.

I take it Southport is quite a poor, working-class area?

Hence why they had to ship in protesters?

The Taylor Swift Dance Class should have given it away.

The Frog faced cunt stirring the pot. Peddling misinformation as published by Russia Today

The Reform leader asked: “Police say it was a non–terror incident … I just wonder whether the truth is being withheld from us?” He said what he does know is “something is going horribly wrong in our once beautiful country” and suggested there are reports the suspect was being monitored by the security services.

My sincere condolence goes out to the poor families, what an unfathomably evil act. Could not even start to think how they will be able to deal with such a precious loss to a man that must be utterly deranged and rotten to his very core.

As for the scenes I saw in the streets, I sincerely hope they get jail sentences for that. Despicable behaviour. The poor law enforcement officials being pelted with bricks and stones without shield, cowards the whole bloody lot of them. Why did the police not deploy tear gas?

Some of those officers must have had the worst day of their lives to then get bricks thrown at them by a bunch of morons. I hope they robustly detain them.

According to my daughters posts in support of the "protestors" are getting plenty of likes on Insta, SnapChat etc

Farage yet again proving what a cunt he is

New wave of Islamaphobia incoming
