What we've seen this last week are not the actions of patriotic people. Join me today and sign to spread the real message from the British public: no more racist and Islamophobic violence: https://t.co/dlRe2nd859
There are families just coming to terms with yesterday’s events, parents grieving for their murdered children and survivors still trying to process what they witnessed.
The violent scenes in Southport tonight will only further traumatise a community that is already struggling to come to terms with this attack.
Mindless violence directed at the very people who ran towards the danger yesterday, and outright Islamaphobia, only distract from the work of delivering justice.
The real story tonight is of the thousands who gathered at the vigil in Southport in memory of Bebe, Elsie and Alice. For the sake of their loved ones, this disorder needs to stop so the police do their jobs.
