So Now We All Know, Kier… They Weren’t ‘Far Right’, They Were Just Right

And that's what worried you the most. So don't think we can be bought off with a public enquiry that will be carefully stage-managed to exonerate you.

Charlie Bentley-Astor covered the brief trial and the revelations on Twitter, revealing the horiffic events preceding the murders, and the utter failure of the authorities to seize on chances to prevent it. We were all braced for some sort of state failure, of course, but no-one - me included - had any real idea how bad it would be. 

His obsession with mass killings was also known to the authorities, but it is not clear whether they were aware of his father’s link to the Rwanda genocide of 1994.

It can now be revealed that Alphonse Rudakubana, a taxi driver who arrived in the UK in 2002, is thought to have fought with the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA), an armed force that battled the Hutu-dominated regime in Rwanda and eventually brought an end to the mass ethnic killings of 1994.

He is reported to have been an RPA officer, possibly relatively senior, based in neighbouring Uganda, where his family are thought to have fled well before the genocide.

Well, there's no 'unrest' now, so why can't they be sent back? 

But, some will cry, why do you doubt a public enquiry will be effective? Well, Reader, simply this:

Police have found no evidence that the Southport attack was motivated by political, religious, racial or ideological causes, meaning it cannot be classed as an act of terrorism despite him having possession of a document proscribed under terrorism laws.

Normal people will say 'if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has in its possession a terrorist manual and ricin, then it's probably a duck terrorist'. But a carefully selected public enquiry will use this sleight of hand to avoid reaching any conclusions that might threaten the squinty-eyed piece of filth in No 10.
