Axel Rudakubana has been sentenced to over 50 years in jail. In his sentencing the judge actually said ‘51 days’ – let’s hope that was a mistake that his lawyer cannot challenge! It is likely that he will never be released.
Sadly, as he did us a favour and pleaded guilty, the details of the events in Southport when he butchered three innocent young girls and severely injured many more will never come out fully. Did he shout an Islamic slogan while engaged in his lengthy onslaught? What was the nature of the knife he was carrying?
I say ‘wrong conclusions’ in the title. In fact, some of what we were sold – principally by Keir Starmer – were lies, plain and simple. There was also the complete misdirection towards ‘far right’ protests across the country, almost as if they were to blame for the very thing they were protesting about.
For an in-depth consideration of the events and the cover up I would urge you to listen to the wonderful pair of GB News presenters Mike Graham and Kevin O’Sullivan who, with the appropriate amount of bad language, discuss it on their most recent The Thought Police podcast.
The initial response to the killings by Rudakubana was to deny any terrorist motivation and heaven forbid that it could have been inspired by the religion of peace. Rudakubana was not an immigrant, although the child of immigrants, he was Welsh. He was portrayed as a fresh-faced young lad who sang in the choir at his parents’ church, as if that made everything alright.
The media were effectively silenced (or simply obedient) under the rule of sub judice, and anyone suggesting an immigrant Muslim link was labelled ‘far right’, castigated as having ‘fanned the flames’ and threatened with the full force of the law. The jails were cleared in advance, and some of those who said that there was an immigrant, Muslim terrorist link in the killings still languish in prison (one of whom tragically has died, by his own hand).
But it turns out they were right; the lad, if not an immigrant, was from an immigrant family, he possessed material produced by Al Qaeda and some substances capable of being used in a chemical weapon. This was the first string of wrong conclusions.
It transpires that some wrong conclusions were made even before Rudakubana turned up in Southport. He was known to social services and to police, had admitted to owning a knife and had displayed bizarre behaviour. He had already been convicted of assault and referred to the counter-terrorism unit Prevent. All the above and the fact that he looks like an absolute nutter, yet nobody acted. One wonders why. There were rumours that he shouted an Islamic slogan at the killings, but this has not been confirmed.
Attention is now focused on the knife, as if it was solely responsible for the murders. Initially described as a kitchen knife, by dent of Chinese whispers, it has grown to a machete. And Sir Keir and his troupe of half-wits are expressing outrage at the fact that a deranged lunatic could purchase a machete on Amazon, as if Amazon was to blame. But anyone can buy a machete on Amazon – just enter ‘machete knife’ and see for yourself. They are used by chefs and butchers and are easily available. Yvette Cooper described it as a ‘total disgrace’ that he was able to purchase the knife at 17 years of age.
There are certainly age restricted items on Amazon, but is a deranged, Islamic inspired nutcase with murder in mind going to say ‘darn, foiled again’ and stop at that? Why not simply use someone else’s account (our kids have used ours for years)? Nevertheless, we can expect that Amazon will be a target of the Starmer government, thus making the legitimate acquisition of industrial knives harder, and having absolutely no effect on those who want to kill people with them.
Starmer has said that there will be a no stone unturned Public Inquiry into events leading up to the Southport killings, and we all know how effective these are at getting to the root of things and making recommendations that are never implemented. But no amount of public inquiry will dare to arrive at the correct conclusion.
Outside the courtroom some multicultural bore was waxing lyrically about how ‘diversity is a strength’ in the UK. Why that was relevant to the case that was underway in the court is not clear, and the brass neck even to make such a comment when there were three grieving families in attendance is astonishing. But these intersectional idiots never get challenged by journalists who mainly seem to be on message with this nonsense or, indeed, are themselves representatives of multicultural Britain. I have yet to hear a single convincing example of why diversity is our strength.
The thoughts of the team at The New Conservative are with the families of Alice da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King and Elsie Dot Stancombe. May they rest in peace and may Axel Rudakubana never see the outside of a jail as long as he lives.

Something highly concerning, that as far as I know no one has raised, is this – is the UK Justice System now so degraded/pro-the accused that any information released before a trial guarantees that the accused will be exonerated and simply released? This is what our idiot politicians appear to claim, whilst being in possession of key information themselves and yet still clamping down like a military junta on those who make correct assumptions.
Had the mad spree of killings taken place at Glyndebourne, Hurlingham Polo Park, the Chelsea Flower Show, the Nevil Holt Opera, the Royal Regatta or Stowe on the Wold instead of Southport would 2TFGK and the MSM have responded differently?
Yes providing the perpetrator was white and had traditional British sounding Christian name and Surname. They’d also be immediately labelled as likely a ‘far-right’ terrorist and with snide aspersions cast that the events themselves were anyway magnets for the wrong type of people who probably only got what they deserved for enjoying such elitist pursuits (unless a Royal or MP or celebrity was present of course).
At a slight tangent, but in line with “the wrong conclusions” – Labour councillors in Bradford have blocked calls for an independent national inquiry into the district’s rape gangs due to fears of becoming “the next Rotherham”.
It’s almost as if some people have things to hide!
No doubt the current autocratic globalist-minded national regime will be itching to use hideous but undeniably preventable tragedies like this as excuses to again try to clamp down on our traditional freedoms. Already we have heard the predictable siren calls from the intolerant totalitarian left for the introduction of identity cards alongside having everything digital and online …
