When I was younger we used to go to Southport quite often to visit friends of my parents. I remember one year seeing Red Rum being exercised on the beach, another year we saw the hovercraft coming in.

I've just seen this in the BBC link:

He says the incident happened at the Hope of Hart children's club, which is down a back street in a former warehouse building.

He says the victims were children

I was lucky enough to grow up in Southport and I remember the hovercraft. It was used as a taxi service that would take day trippers from the pier at Southport across the bay to Blackpool, and vice versa. Southport was a great place to grow up.

I visited some time ago, the sun was out and the tide, the pier is epic. Found somewhere to eat easily enough and to park the car. 

The day was finished off with a fish and chip tea.

Can't ask more from a day out at the seaside.

It still look's ok.

I wonder what the guy's motive was.

Probably just another nutcase allowed to wander the streets.

Another BBC update from Merseyside Police:

Quote

"We can confirm that a 17-year-old male from Banks, who was arrested in connection to the stabbing in Southport this morning, Monday 29 July, remains in police custody and will be questioned about the incident.

"At this early stage, enquiries are ongoing to establish the motive for this tragic incident and we would urge people not to speculate while the investigation is ongoing.

"We can also confirm that the incident is not currently being treated as terror-related and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Sounds premeditated. Who would do such a despicable thing?

It was definitely premeditated and I have a damn good idea who would do such a thing. If the name being banded about is correct then that would explain things a little more but lets not rush to conclusions eh? Just in case.

Two children have died and nine others are injured after a stabbing in Southport, north of Liverpool, this morning.

All of the nine children who were injured were stabbed and six are in a critical condition.

Two adults are also in a critical condition.

Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said: "We believe that the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children who were being attacked."

Tragic Incident In Southport: Asylum Seeker on MI6 Watch List Involved in Horrific Attack

A devastating incident has shaken the community of Southport, as a 17-year-old asylum seeker, Ali-Al-Shakati, was identified as the suspect in a horrifying attack that resulted in the death of two children and left several others injured. This shocking revelation has left many questioning how this tragedy could have been prevented.

According to reports, Ali-Al-Shakati was on the MI6 watch list and was known to Liverpool mental health services prior to the attack. He had arrived in the UK by boat just last year, seeking asylum. The fact that he was already on the radar of authorities raises concerns about the effectiveness of the current monitoring systems in place.

Right. MI6, the foreign intelligence service, had a UK based asylum seeker on their watchlist (and actually had a watchlist for some reason).

Maybe this will turn out to be some garbled version of the truth but even by your standards that's a shockingly poor source.

Well it's not exactly the BBC admittedly, but then again if it turns out to be true then I fully expect the BBC to drop the story like a hot potato. Tell you what, if it turns out to be a bad source and not true then i'll apologize to you, if you agree to apologize me if the story is correct. Fair?

No need for apologies, you've not done anything to harm me.

An admission that you were wrong is plenty, and I'll offer the same if it turns out he is on an MI6 watchlist.

Like I posted before: "Religion is mind poison".

The guy probable associated anything related to Tailor Swift as 'evil' or 'perverse'. So what to do to show you stick to your religious abbarations:

Kill/stab young kids dancing to her music to prove your point.

 

I seriously believe that in the distant future we all will be vaccinated against religion.

ANY religion.

They're "telling" us it's not being treated as terror related, but having just spoken to some close family members, local sources are saying differently, with a continued heavy police presence still in the area, armed officers, police helicopters overhead, and all roads leading onto Hart Street all the way down completely blocked off, with Hart Street itself blocked off at both ends, even though the murders took place at one end of a mile long street, plus residents have also been evacuated from their homes.

Right. For the time being at least, I'm tempted to take the word of the Chief Constable over your.... "local sources".

Oh for crying out loud Setton. You just don't want to hear the truth, which makes you part of the problem. You're an apologist. I've lived in Southport my whole life, and my own brother is a serving police officer at the scene, and why would local residents have been evacuated from their homes unless there was something more serious going on, such as a suspected explosive device?

Really? And just what am I an apologist for? This ought to be good.

Sure he is. And I'm sure by tomorrow morning you'll be telling us all he's Chief Constable 🙄

And I'm sure an equally reliable source for this is coming any minute now.

What the hell kind of source is that? Local news from Southport and Venezuela!!!:D

BBC is quoting the chief constable as stating the perpetrator as being born in Cardiff. I know Wales can be pretty grim, but do you get many people from there seeking asylum?

How many stabbings have happened that we've been flat out told were not terror related, and people like you have swallowed that line, along with your "thoughts and prayers", whilst others, like me, have questioned it, only for it to then turn out to be terror related after all? That's why you're an apologist, you swallow the same line fed to you time and time again.

No I won't. Why would I lie and tell us all he's Chief Constable, when he isn't?

Maybe you should take a drive down there and find out for yourself, but of course we both know you won't do that will you, because you'd much rather bury your head in the sand and just blindly believe the same old line that's trotted out time and time again when a terror related attack happens, "it wasn't terror related, he just has mental health issues", instead of listening to those who actually live in the area affected.

I agree with you, it’s a dam shame that those with a mental illness are allowed to wander the streets. This also accounts for much of the gun violence in the United States, it really makes no sense!:cry:
