Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme request received for Axel Rudakubana #SouthportAttack. I'm curious to know the grounds for petition. Horrific case, but the fact that the offender was a minor (even if only 9 days short of 18th bday) automatically negates whole-life tariff www.gov.uk/government/n...

The answer isn’t to broaden what terrorism is - it’s to refer people capable of violence to the right services. Prevent wasn’t the right service in this case.

Finally moved to BlueSky, what a day to have chosen...
Axel Rudakubana sentenced to life with minimum 52 years for #Southport attack. So many unanswered questions regarding motivation, role of #terrorist material in planning, and missed opportunities for intervention www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
