After the hideous attack in Southport, the far right spread misinformation and rioted. This is a grim episode - but who were the rioters, and what's the role of mainstream media outlets and politicians?

I'm joined by Joe Mulhall from Hope Not Hate to understand exactly what happened.

  • He is a criminal no matter what religion he belongs to.there is no excuse to blame any community for the crimes committed by an evil individual.

    As Owen and Joe point out, this hasn’t happened in isolation. Islamophobia has been promoted for years by supposedly “respectable” politicians and media outlets. Very depressing, although encouraging to see the community response in Southport today.

    It's sad but thousands of Palestinian children are dying and we're supplying the weapons,wtf??😢😢
  • Why are Israeli flags so prominent at extreme right wing rallies ?
  • @123mehmehmeh
    I hope everyone that rioted and everyone that supports this riot realise all they're doing is pissing on the memory of the victims. The families didn't even have a chance to grieve.

    Where were was the riotous indignation against Lucy Letby who murdered babies?
  • @JonotJoe66
    This is one reason we need a better way of politics and media. Communities get broken down, and poverty rises, so they start with the finger pointing at the "others."
  • @hanunyafa
    Lee Anderson has questions to answer. So does Suella Braverman. So does Farage. Tommy Robinson is like a lightning rod for these people.
  • Obviously the murderer has mental health issues.Why not direct your anger at every government responsible for the deterioration of the mental health system?
  • This isnt the far right. The goalpost has moved. This is just THE RIGHT
  • @hydraph4843
    It is so refreshing to see a sane comment section. UK news channel comment sections are just insane
  • @trisF1981
    The reason why the EDL no longer exists because it mutated into Britain First and reform UK.
  • Oh look! Nigel Farage's cavalry has arrived to reclaim Britain back and it's YOB CULTURE.
  • Blaming the decay and suffering and crime of late capitalism on ethnic minorities is ludicrous, illogical, and thoroughly disgusting.
  • There seem to be so many hateful people in this country, it's just totally depressing. I'd just like to say you can donate to the Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the families of the victims of the Southport tragedy at Swifties for Southport, on just giving. The total raised so far (Wednesday Evening) is £320,000.
  • Some people will gladly embrace any flimsy excuse to let their prejudices run riot
