in this country institutions in this country fail to act on warnings about axel rudakubana? why does the state focus over and over again on right wing extremism, when very clearly, based on the evidence, most of the threats in this country are coming from islamist violence? why the silence from the media and the government on this attack in the hours and days afterwards, compared to how it's responded to other terrorist incidents? why the double standards in political responses to terrorism and acts of violence? why was axel rudakubana rudakubana portrayed as a harmless choir boy from wales? why are political figures calling public concerns far right or conspiracy theories when they know them to be true? why no apologies from those who labelled nigel farage wrongly? who called the unrest that followed southport the farage riots when what he was saying is the truth being
