Two children are dead and nine people are injured - six in a critical condition - during a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift themed dance class at the coastal holiday resort of Southport on the coast of the Irish Sea. Those attending the class were mainly 6-11 year old girls.

A maniac went on the rampage as children enjoying their six weeks summer holiday off school and their parents attended the class.

A 17 year old male from Banks, Lancashire, originally from Cardiff, has been arrested by Merseyside Police.

Here is how the events unfolded...

If anyone is found guilty of this attack they will not be coming out of prison alive. Anyone found guilty of murdering two or more children can expect a whole life tariff with no possibility of parole.

Most news stories that I’ve read state, “a 17-year-old who was born in Cardiff but lived in Banks, Lancashire” so that’s interesting. Why the need to state where the person who did this was born?

Merseyside Police confirmed that a 17-year-old boy, from the village of Banks, about five miles away from Southport, had been arrested and was being questioned on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons and is originally from Cardiff, moved to the Southport area with his Rwandan parents when he was aged six.

In a press conference, Chief Constable Serena Kennedy, of Merseyside Police, said that while the incident was not being treated as terror-related, colleagues from counter-terror policing had offered to assist with the investigation.
Witnesses described how just after 11.45am, the attacker allegedly pulled up at the dance studio, which is situated in a small business centre behind a residential street, in a taxi and then got out without paying.

One witness claimed he had a black hooded top pulled up and was wearing a Covid-style face mask. He walked into the studio through the front door, which was unlocked for fire safety reasons.

Because that's the only information we have about him.

The black suspect looks about as Welsh as a Zulu warrior

A clearly upset Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the Commons and the country that it was "difficult to comprehend or to put into words the horror of what happened" as little girls enjoying a Taylor Swift themed dance class at the start of the school summer holidays were brutally murdered.

Bebe King, 6, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, were pronounced dead shortly after the incident while 9 year old Portuguese Alice Aguiar died early this morning.

Six other children and two adults remain in hospital.

Reform UK leader and GB News presenter Nigel Farage MP is barely able to hold back the tears in the aftermath of Britain's worst attack on children since the Dunblane Massacre of 1996 when 16 children were shot dead (which British tennis star and Olympian Andy Murray is a survivor of and who is representing Great Britain again at Paris 2024 just before he retires).

‘I’m struck that every time something appalling happens, we’re told it’s ‘non-terror’ or it’s ‘mental health’. Nothing to worry our little heads about…’ Nigel Farage says there are still questions to be answered about the horrific stabbings in Southport which left three children dead.

Over 50 police officers were injured when angry locals rioted after three little girls - two British and one Portuguese - were stabbed to death in Southport, a town which normally is a pretty Irish Sea seaside resort at this time of the year.

Cops were pelted with rocks and had their vehicles set alight by the enraged mob. 54 officers were injured.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage believes if Merseyside Police were more clear over the suspect's identity and downplayed the false rumours online the Southport riots may have been avoided...
