Trump to a 'believers' rally at the weekend....
“You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians!” Trump continued “You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”

The stabbings in Southport were unutterably sickening, but there seems to be some dangerous stuff being put out about the piece of dirt that carried them out. I've been forwarded a WhatsApp naming him as Ali-Al-Shakati and stating that he was an asylum seeker who had arrived on a boat last year. This seems to have been based on a report on a website called Channel3Now.

On the BBC news just now they said that the killer was born in Cardiff.

Here in Oz, the besieged, incompetent Labor govt have just had a cabinet reshuffle……. that should really make a difference.

To be fair, if you were born in Cardiff, you'd probably want to **** off to Afghanistan for a while before coming back to the UK on a dinghy
The police have said “from Cardiff” which is broad? if the BBC now say “born” , I wonder how it knows more than the police statement?

Chief Constable Serena Kennedy told a news conference that officers responding to the calls "were shocked" to find that multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a "ferocious attack" and had suffered serious injuries.
Ms Kennedy said the 17-year-old suspect, who police said was born in Cardiff, will now be questioned by detectives.
Merseyside Police said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack and that the "motivation for the incident remains unclear".
Yes, the written statement from the police does say “born” I must have misheard when it was delivered on to last night
No, I didn’t mishear. The copper said “originally from Cardiff” on TV. It was changed to “born” in police written statement. I hope the public aren’t being played.
The public are being played by far right opportunist ****-stirrers, it seems to me.
There's a difference between being misinformed by a national authority, and speculation from a bunch of Twitter headbangers. I'll take the police at their word for now.
Well, you're the expert on Twitter headbangers. The 'information' that I was presented with was via a forwarded WhatsApp, which suggested that the police were more interested in arresting Tommy Robinson than murderous illegal immigrants. When I tried to find out more about the murderer, my search led me to the Channel 3 News Now site, which did indeed state that the scumbag had arrived on a boat last year. Falsely, it turns out. Once the dust has settled on this tragedy and the murderer is safely locked away, whoever is responsible for this ****-stirring should also be brought to book.
