UK Teen Pleads Guilty To Girls' Murder That Triggered Riots

I asked that question 24 hours after the murders. I said why are we not being told the truth? Was this man known to the authorities? We were met with a complete wall of silence. The prime minister and the home secretary refused to engage, Liverpool police refused to engage.”

A source told the Guardian

Blow the mosque up with the adults in it.”

At Chester crown court, Julie Sweeney, 53, who lived a “quiet, sheltered” life, was jailed for 15 months for posting a comment on Facebook that said

Southport is a quiet, kind place in which nothing ever happens,
