UK PM accused of double standard as suspect indicted for killing 3 girls faces terror-related charge.

The Merseyside police department in England was forced to admit last month that the force is "restricted" from sharing key information about the July Southport attack that killed three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, as the alleged attacker now faces terror-related charges.

Last week, it was announced that Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, is facing new charges under the country's Terrorism Act in addition to the existing three murder charges, ten counts of attempted murder, and one count of knife possession. Rudakubana is accused of committing the July 29 stabbing spree that resulted in the deaths of three girls - Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, and injuring several others.

The suspect, who was found with deadly poison ricin and al Qaeda training materials, has not been charged with a terror incident as no motive has been established, authorities stated.

"The CPS has provided us with extensive guidance on what we can say publicly to protect the integrity of court proceedings, which means we are limited in what we can share with you at this time, while the proceedings are ongoing."

The police and government's secretive and double-standard approach to the deadly attack in Southport, a town north of Liverpool, in July, sparked a controversy over the terror-related charges.

Toby Young, the director of the Free Speech Union in the U.K., stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the rationale behind not releasing information about the suspect's motive was to avoid prejudicing the trial. He also emphasized that motive would be a crucial issue in the trial.

Young stated that there was a "double standard" in the release of information about attackers in these circumstances, as the government and authorities would have been more forthcoming if the attacker had been a "far-right white supremacist."

The riots in England were sparked by the killing spree, which led to speculation about the attacker's background and nature of the attack. In response, several people have been charged and imprisoned for their online comments that incited the riots.

Last month, Lucy Connolly, the wife of a local Conservative Party politician, was sentenced to over 31 months in jail for inflammatory social media posts against asylum seekers.

Wayne O'Rourke, with over 90,000 followers on his X account, was sentenced to three years in jail for inciting the arrest of a Muslim man accused of the Southport attack. The judge remarked during the sentencing, "You were not just following the crowd, you were leading it. The fire you started with your keyboard warrior tactics."

The British left-wing Prime Minister Keir Starmer swiftly condemned the individuals involved in the unrest as "far right," while the police remained silent to avoid prejudicing the trial.

Winston Marshall, host of The Winston Marshall Show, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that Prime Minister Starmer has been meticulous in avoiding any prejudice towards Axel Rudakubana during the court proceedings following the new charges of possessing Islamist literature and Ricin.

The British public vividly recalls how Starmer swiftly labeled the August rioters as "far-right thugs" without any conviction, earning him the nickname "Two-Tier Keir."

Keir Starmer unhesitatingly labeled the rioters, some of whom had been arrested and were in custody, as far-right, which allowed him to speculate about the motives of those arrested for rioting, even though doing so could easily prejudice their trials and not all of them had pleaded guilty, according to Young.

Describing someone who has been arrested and charged but pleaded not guilty as a criminal can potentially prejudice the outcome of their trial by not extending the presumption of innocence to them, which signals to potential jurors that the Home Office and, by implication, the Home Secretary believe them to be guilty.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the Right-wing Reform Party, faced criticism from a group of senior Conservative and left-wing figures for inciting riots after questioning the lack of information being released to the public.

Whether the truth is being withheld from us, Farage questioned following the attack. He wondered if the suspect had been known and monitored by the country's security services. Additionally, he questioned why the incident had not been treated as terror-related.

Neil Basu, a former counter-terrorism police chief from 2018 to 2021, claimed that Farage could be investigated for his comments and accused him of "undermining the police, creating conspiracy theories, and providing a false basis for attacks on the police."

Lord Barwell, a former MP and chief of staff to former Prime Minister Theresa May, criticized Farage for spreading "misinformation" on social media following the attack.

"He is an MP, but instead of asking questions in the House of Commons yesterday, he chose to spread misinformation on social media. Shameful."

Last week, Farage stated in a video posted on X that the latest police statement and new terror-related charges somewhat cleared up his critics.

In the Daily Telegraph, Farage stated that he and his party members were unable to raise questions about the Southport attack in Parliament due to concerns that it could prejudice the public during the suspect's trial.

Yvette Cooper informed Farage that he was not permitted to discuss the matter in Parliament following his submission of a written question regarding the accused attacker's involvement in the country's counter-terrorism initiative.

According to Farage, the apparatus of state are being used to manage this situation, and for now, it appears that no one is allowed to ask in the proper forum when the government first knew that the accused was to face ricin and terror material charges.

Similarly, it is unknown whether this individual was known to the authorities. Should we accept a society where vital information is concealed from the public? Who made the decision to keep these details confidential?

The country's security and counter-terrorism authorities have not been informed about the identity of the accused attacker.

The alleged attacker, born in Wales to Rwandan parents, was raised Christian, according to British media. The trial for murder charges is provisionally scheduled for January, police said later.
