The Russians used the Southport tragedy to sow seeds of social unrest in the UK and were hugely successful. Riots and attacks on the police have ensued. Fake news spread on social media has caused this. The grief of the parents has been cynically used by self serving racists to cause havoc.
// A Russian-linked fake news website fuelled lies that sparked violent protests over the Southport stabbings.
A Mail investigation traced the misinformation that spread like wildfire online, leading – 27 hours later – to an attack on a mosque and 53 police officers being injured as they tried to protect it. //
I hope the people who spread this misinformation are ashamed of themselves.

it's easy to blame russia but it worked because it's what some people want to believe. i strongly suspect that many of the people involved in the anti-muslim riots didn't care if it was true or not... they just wanted an excuse.
tommy robinson spread the misinformation i notice. dangerous man.

Yes and no. If the authorities didnt pussy foot around a certain "community" then it would not be so easy.
But no, much easier to just sling 'far right' insults in an attempt to silence.
I have been warning this sort of thing would happen, and here we are. It really is as plain as the hole in your backside unless you are tainted by rediculous ideologies.
And beleive me this is just the start, it will get worse, sadly.
