The Far Right wants more immigration, and more child abuse, because that’s what it thrives on, says Fleet Street Fox. If they gave a damn about protecting children they’d be doing something useful
Southport. Hartlepool. Durham. Hull. Middlesborough. Stoke on Trent.
All of them places where Huw Edwards has never been., but the Far Right are heading to this weekend in order to “save our kids”.
That’s what they chanted outside Downing Street, where no paedophile has, so far as we know, ever been in charge. In Southport they shouted “stop the boats”, while smashing up streets where people were reeling from the shock of child murders.
Boats, and Keir Starmer, even paedophiles, had nothing to do with the murders of three young children and attempted murders of 10 more at a holiday playscheme last week. But there are some quite happy to desecrate those tiny bodies further, for their own violent ends.
It was a violation of those children’s corpses when Reform UK leader Nigel Farage suggested the public weren’t being told that the alleged killer was a suspected terrorist. He talked about the shocking state of law and order, in such a way he made Southport more lawless.
It was an abuse of the children still in hospital that modern-day blackshirts – should we call them Burberryshirts now? – claimed they were worried about the little ones’ safety, while getting coked up and tanked up, spitting at coppers, and running away in time for the last train home.
It was for the sake of the children that the Nazis said Jews must be killed, and Communism defeated, and women kept at home. It was for their future that every totalitarian leader has come to power, and in their own best interests that every murderous dad annihilated his family.
It’s easy to get people impassioned, protective, and thoughtless when you bring children into it. Because if they had a moment’s calm consideration of the true risk to children and who’s responsible, they’d all stay at home and weep.
They did not riot outside Huw Edwards’ court appearance, where he pleaded guilty to viewing images of Category A child abuse of children as young as seven. A white Welshman looked at a child the same age as those killed in Southport being raped, and rather than go to the police, he went into the BBC studio and delivered the 6 o’clock news.
They did not riot outside the church where black Welshman Axel Rudakubana worshipped, while somehow turning into the sort of person who allegedly takes a minicab to a Taylor Swift-themed dance event for children and lays about them with a knife. But they didn’t, even though they’d happily blame a mosque for such a thing.
They did not riot outside Suella Braverman’s constituency office, on the grounds that she was one of the Home Secretaries who most recently presided over a police force, prison service, and probation service so under-resourced that, had her boss not called an election in July, she’d have had to let out half of Britain’s convicted knifemen in August.
The Far Right didn’t riot over Lucy Letby, Jamie Bulger, Tony Hudgell, Baby P. They seem unconcerned about unsafe beaches, unsafe schools, unsafe maternity wards. And they especially don’t care that middle-aged, white men often believe the best of other middle-aged, white men, which is why BBC Director-General Tim Davie didn’t think the Huw thing would get any worse and gave him a £40,000 pay rise.
That’s why Alex Williams, the paedophile who sent Edwards those images, got a suspended sentence, while climate protesters got five years. It’s why Rishi Sunak dare not condemn the rioters, who have been shouting the ‘stop the boats’ slogan he mandated, and who have a worrying amount in common with the views of his few remaining voters.
Sixty two children are killed in the UK by violence and neglect every year. Yet there are not 62 riots. More than 80,000 child sex offences are recorded annually – that’s more than 200 a day – yet the number does not rise or fall with more or less immigration. The most likely demographic of every child murderer, and every child abuser, in Britain is a middle-aged, white male. And it’s the middle-aged, white males rioting, on the grounds that it must be someone else’s fault.
It is, of course. It is the fault of those who make excuses by saying Huw didn’t rape anyone. It is the fault of everyone who points the finger at the mosque but not the other churches; who point at the brown people and not the white; who say it’s the immigrants, and never stop to wonder how they got here, and who did all the raping before.
The Far Right rely on a failure to think, and are capitalising on a failure of politicians to treat social media companies as the publishers they are, with all the legal risks and responsibilities that come with it. As a result, fascists can get people on the streets before the BBC has its boots on.
All the Far Right wants is a fight. To tell you there is one, to take part in one, to plan another one tomorrow. It has no solutions beyond the final sort, and it is no different to the violent, political Islamism which it hates, and needs, so much.
We just locked London-born terrorist Anjem Choudary up for life, for stoking hate. It is beyond credibility that we cannot use the same laws, for the same reasons, to do the same to those who provoke violence and terror by the Far Right. The men in suits, the Burberryshirts who are the face of it, are statistically just as responsible for deaths, mayhem, and child abuse as anyone else – more so, perhaps, because at least an Islamist wants the credit.
The Far Right wants more immigration, and more child abuse, because that’s what it thrives on. If it really gave a damn about your children, they would do something more useful than pick a fight with a police dog.
