To sum up where we are: A guy who was allegedly reading jihadist murder manuals killed 3 beautiful kids in Britain. In response to that attack, the liberal establishment expressed far more outrage over Nigel Farage and others asking questions, and about anyone even wondering out loud if this act of absolute savagery had anything at all to do with Islamic extremism, than they did about Islamic extremism (which poses by far the gravest terror threat to British lives). Instead they told us he was just a random Welsh kid, nothing more to it. Anyone who said ‘that sounds a bit weird’ must be a fascist or a far right extremist, we were told. Their almost sole focus became ‘clamping down on misinformation’, within which they included attempts to claim that this might have been a jihadist-inspired atrocity (turns out, those were at the very least legitimate concerns). Oh, and islamophobia. And demonising Elon Musk for refusing to censor Twitter. This should be a major national scandal. There should be resignations across the board. The fact that there won’t be (unless there’s a concerted effort to force this into the news) tells you almost everything you need to know. The BBC, a hotbed metropolitan groupthink, demoted the staggering revelation that the demon who killed 3 kids was allegedly reading Al Qaeda manuals out of its top story spot within a matter of hours. No soul searching there then…expect the same from the government and commentariat. Doubling down will be the order of the day. This is very serious stuff.
