Nottingham: Mental Health Strikes Again

Following a vicious outbreak of white privilege and colonial oppression, three people were found dead on the streets of Nottingham on Tuesday morning, just days after last Thursday’s attack in Annecy, France. A recent caller to LBC admitted that she feared a similar attack in the UK following the French incident; she did not have to wait long. The first two victims were stabbed to death in the city centre: they were 19-year-old Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar. Minutes later, 65-year-old school caretaker, Ian Coates, was fatally stabbed. Stealing his van, the murderer then proceeded to drive into several other people before he was detained by the police. How utterly heartbreaking. Is it a coincidence that the dead are all white? We can be sure it would be an issue if they were not.

Concerning the identify of the assailant, there appears to be an extraordinary level of incuriosity amongst the media, who have spent the past two days content with descriptions as illuminating as ‘The Suspect’, ’A 31-year-old man’, or simply ’The man’. The BBC (keen on rooting out disinformation these days) finally came clean, and acquiesced to give us the following:

The 31-year-old suspect in custody is originally from West Africa but had been in the UK for many years, official sources have confirmed. He is not a British citizen but he had settled status, meaning he had permission to stay in the country for several years. He did not have a criminal record and was not known to the security services. It is also understood that the man has a history of mental health issues.

However, this may not be quite true. It pays to look elsewhere for your news these days, as alternative versions tell a slightly different story. As reported on GB News, the 31-year old suspect is a West African migrant, with a history of violence. According to The Sun, the attacker was known to MI5, because he ‘literally knocked on their door’. And if you believe former Sun editor, Kelvin McKenzie, ‘unconfirmed reports’ suggest the murderer was a recent convert to Islam, who attended an Islamic centre close to the scene. What a shock. 

We do not yet know whether this person was a legal or illegal immigrant, as is now the fashion. Which means that even if his history in Britain can be glossed over, we have absolutely no knowledge or his past criminal history – a history he may well have come here to avoid, as so many evidently do. One thing we know for certain – had he been white we’d know full his name, his national insurance number, and his inside leg measurement by now – and his ‘mental health issues’ would have been upgraded to white supremacist leanings. 

The Illegal Migration Bill (not yet law) states: ‘The Illegal Migration Bill will change the law to make it unambiguously clear that, if you enter the UK illegally, you should not be able to remain here. Instead, you will be detained and promptly removed either to your home country or to a safe country where any asylum claim will be considered’. It seems incredible that we need a bill to make this law now; why was this not happening before? But as often lamented in these pages, the UK government is high on promises about stemming illegal immigration, but short on action.

The total number of recorded migrants crossing the channel to the UK in 2022 was 45,756, which was 17,000 more than the year before. There are conflicting views over whether the influx of immigrants is leading to a rise in crime; the official line is that it is not, but anonymous sources within the government contradict that. Speaking off the record, one such source explained: ‘If people knew the truth about these people, it would provoke national outrage – and it should. Hundreds of serious criminals are living all over the country, with many continuing to commit crimes, work illegally and claim benefits.’ Other countries such as Turkey claim that their refugee influx (mainly of Syrians, who also come to the UK) increased the incidence of crime by 2% to 4.75% in 2022.

Just as in Annecy, our effete leaders are playing it by the book. We’ve had the ‘shock’ (you think they’d get used to it by now?). We’ve held the candle-lit vigils, the ‘words cannot express’, and the ‘lack of any motive’. And no doubt it won’t be long before some Guardianista pipes up about the true victims – the hordes of migrant men, cowering in five-star hotels, awaiting the non-existent backlash. 

French president Emmanuel Macron has said his country ‘shares the grief’ with Britain and ‘stands by our side’ – you bet he does, anything to distract from his own disastrous poll ratings at home. Meanwhile, I am sure that the police will do their job and investigate these killings thoroughly and a custodial sentence or incarceration in a secure psychiatric hospital will follow. But will the real problem of allowing undocumented, unknown savages into the country be addressed?

The UK’s terrorist threat level remains at substantial, meaning an attack is likely. If you haven’t stocked up on tea-lights, this might be a good time.
