In modern day Britain, we are allowed to mourn our murdered children, friends or relatives.
We are free to be appalled.
We are also permitted to lay flowers by the coagulating blood of our kith and kin, as our political leaders walk solemnly towards the farewell postcards and tear-drenched bouquets for a tight minute of contemplative silence, broken only by the incessant clicks of professional photographers.
It is no envious task to find an angle that will somehow make the politician seem in genuine communion with the grieving multitudes.
Barely perceptible, in the background, might be the desperate voice of a bereaved father asking, “how many more children are going to die on our streets Prime Minister?”
How many more children? Are you going to do something?”
While we know how our loved ones departed, we are less free to ask why they did.
Ask the “why” question and run the risk of being branded, perhaps prosecuted because your emotions got the better of you.
The deadly stabbings in Southport, as an example, follow a well-established template.
The atrocity happens.
Sundry dignitaries express their sorrow on X, formerly known as Twitter, Facebook or any such platform.
But, the hint of a threat is added in the subtext.
“Do not to jump to conclusion” regarding “the motives” of the perpetrators.
The stabbing spree in Southport took place at the end of July 2024.
Officially, the motive is still unknown while the end of year beckons.
Lady Justice, it would seem, has slowed down considerably over the last few decades, fattened to the point of morbid immobility on an endless diet of sick-inducing political correctness.
We, the people, have been asked not to help solve this mystery and absolutely not to ask the “why” question – the one that matters the most.
In solving crimes, we must rely on the brain power of our sclerotic civil servants we are told, remembering all the while that our police have failed to solve a single burglary in nearly half of all neighbourhoods in the UK since 2021.
If true for burglaries, why not for murders or terror attacks?
Articulating the motive could sow “division” as our expert class so inelegantly pronounces.
Murders then become secondary to so-called societal cohesion.
In such cases, the motives are self-evident and broadly understood:
They are that some religions hold certain views on dancing, drawing, singing and womanhood, among other things, which, if ignored, can lead to unfortunate outcomes for members of that gender, whether or not they are followers of that said religion.
But when it comes to resolving the key question as to why a Welshman stabbed his way to notoriety in Southport, the motives, we are told, are still hazy.
We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. As Chief Constable Serena Kennedy demands, there should be “no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online” on the topic.
The cost of community cohesion, according to Serena, is to internalise the grief, speak to no-one and hope that the next time a Welshman comes to town, it is someone else’s daughter, not ours, that falls prey to his frenzied, motive-less, actions.
“How many more children need die?” asked the aggrieved father to a hapless Starmer. Many more it would seem. We will just have to bear the losses in silence.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
