The BBC inaccurately reports this as if it were a collective decision by the families:
The families of the Southport victims and survivors have asked for people not to leave flowers at the scene to mark the first anniversary of the attack.
Really? Let’s keep “Islamophobia” at a minimum, shall we?
The Breitbart story below refutes the BBC’s version, as it notes that “Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council… has moved to prevent any spontaneous memorials not coordinated by the government to the victims.”
Meanwhile, the mom of 7-year-old girl who was stabbed 33 times by the in Southport attack says victims deserve an apology, saying about her daughter: “She deserves the truth, she deserves accountability. She deserves an apology. Our girls deserve an apology.”
The victims and in fact all Brits deserve an apology:
After this jihad attack, the British government lied about it as anti-mass migration protests swept the country. Only later did it come out that the attacker was a jihadi. By then, the authorities had imprisoned numerous British citizens for rude words about Islam.
The mainstream media establishment prematurely made Axel Rudakubana out to be a Christian, until he got new charges “after an al-Qaeda training manual and a highly toxic poison were found in his home.” It didn’t occur to the media that he could be a Muslim convert. After Rudakubana was arrested, he told police “it’s a good thing those children are dead, I’m so glad, I’m so happy.”
“Public Told Not to Lay Memorials For Southport Attack Anniversary,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, July 10, 2025:
The public has been asked not to lay floral tributes to “one of the most egregious crimes in our country’s history”, a year after a flower memorial at the scene of the Southport child killings became a flashpoint for discontent.
Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, the local authority which includes the town of Southport, where a mass knife attack last July saw three young children slain and eight others grievously wounded at a summer holiday dance workshop, has moved to prevent any spontaneous memorials not coordinated by the government to the victims.
In a statement published on Tuesday, hours before the Southport Inquiry opened, the Council said flowers should not be laid at the scene of the attack, nor at the schools attended by the victims. Instead, the council said that they “want everyone to know there has been an incredible amount of consideration, thought and planning” put into official events.
“Our colleagues have been working with faith and community leaders,” Sefton Council said, noting locally flags would also be lowered to half-mast on public buildings.
The British government, which generally tightly controls spontaneous public reactions to mass-casualty events to prevent further disorder, appeared to have been caught flat-footed by the 2024 Southport attacks. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was even placed in a position by his handlers where members of the public heckled him as he made a brief stop to lay a floral wreath at the scene of the attack last year.
Events continued to spiral out of the government’s control to the point of a summer of anti-child killing protests becoming anti-mass migration riots following the slayings.
Indeed, it is at the very location where the Prime Minister was heckled with shouts including “How many more children are going to die on our streets, Prime Minister?… How many more children, Prime Minister? Are you going to do something?”, that new tributes have been blocked a year later….

Telling the truth about Islam and its Muslims is censored in England and the West because Islam is terroristic, violent, and hateful as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). So, Western leaders seek to defend Islam from truthful attacks and from citizen complaints against Islam’s Muslims.
Allah’s hateful, totalitarian Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and a Murderous-Demonic Cult of Believers, Terrorists for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, mass murder, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.).
Allah’s demonic ideology in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they surrender to Muslim rule when it says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Hence, Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam functions as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s Islam, a hateful Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their incitement of segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, and tyrannical violence(Quran 4:65; 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah, the counterfeit god, in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a CRIME of Blasphemy, Unbelief, and Infidelity against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION AS SUPREME(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: incitement, intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, slavery, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:208,216; 4:65, 89,95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

Muhammad was a criminal!
Evil Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE pseudo prophet criminal MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, torturer , bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader, deserving no reverence but our contempt and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric misogynistic Sharia Law.The Koran ( recitation)states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell, unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Muslim supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(>70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(< 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa, Hijra)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Muslim Immigration is Hijra( flight)to take over the country they settle in ,like Muhammad did to Yatrib-Medina.This, along with forced child marriages and four wives per man ( Bin Laden had 52 siblings and 16 children),the muslims will soon outnumber the local populations and will impose Sharia law .Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights, Constitution, Republic and population stability needed to sustain Life on Earth.Tolerating intolerant Islam is cultural suicide!For more info on Islam go to YOU TUBE for: ApostateProphet,Exmuslims,David Wood,Ayan Hirsi Ali,BrigitteGabriel,BillWarner,Politicalislam.org,PamelaGeller,Jihadwatch,Nonie Darwish , Wafa Sultan,Richard Dawkins on Islam,Ani Cyrus , Geert Wilder,obsession – what the West needs to know.Also Google: Wikiislam, The religion of peace,barenakedislam, MEMRI etc.Watch the deposition of Ayan Hirsi Ali in Congress on"how to defeatIslam":https://www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it

So, they’ve found another way to jail Christians for objecting to the UK caliphate? Next up, will they require everyone to sing about not looking back in anger? Or just move straight to requiring natives to offer up their children for rape and slaughter by draw of national lottery?
somehistory says
Either way, HP, the *government will coordinate* so their “consideration, thought and planning” will have the most benefit to the source of the evil which motivated the muzzie scum to murder the poor little babies…yes, babies…not old enough to even defend themselves.
With some of us so sick of seeing, reading, hearing of this evil scourge, I can only imagine how Christ….Who demonstrated His love for children…and His Father, must loathe and detest the scourge from their main enemy and what that demon is doing to their ‘children.’ (the Psalm says “children are gifts from God.”).
Hoi Polloi says
It’s sickening.

A Rape lottery?
oh PLEASE don’t give those Muzzies any ideas!

It’s called bend over and get raped by islam.
somehistory says
It’s sickening that the parents. families. friends, and others are forbidden from showing their grief and remembrance of these poor little girls, slaughtered with the support of the British government.
In my memory someplace, hidden from me as to the source, I recall that some others were forbidden to show their grief when their loved ones were slaughtered by muzzie scum. I wish the memory would fully reveal itself, as this is what the government is doing to the families and others who grieve for these children and the great loss they feel.
Those who oppose what is right, have blood on their hands. and that includes the goon who insists that ‘they will not divide us.’

I hope good Britons come out and commnorate the victims of this atrocity despite the threats that they condone it.

No, the britons will instead commemorate the Gaza victims, there should be zero issues with that. Let’s get it done.

What would happen if one of those were a royals, or from thethe house of lords. It’s time. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I am afraid that Britain is finished. What a crappy way to go.
Zeenah says
Quite clearly the UK Government is controled by those filthy EVIL Muzzies!
Lady of the Lake says
The most important point in this whole story is missing and has been buried deep. The prime minister starmer is a woke human rights lawyer zealot who fiercely works for the.right of illegal migrants to enter england and be awarded the same rights as british citizens. Keir Starmer himself through his employment represented the parents of the killer in their quest to be allowed to stay instead of being deported.
Phil Copson says
“Keir Starmer himself through his employment represented the parents of the killer in their quest to be allowed to stay instead of being deported.”

Thanks LotL, but you have also missed a vital detail: Radukabana senior got Starmer’s services because he was accused of being complicit in the Rwandan genocide…

So the public–including victims and loved ones of victims–has to pretend that this mass Jihad murder is OK with them?

We are living in a Dictatorship by orders of Stalin Starmer.
He should be tried for being a Traitor.
David Everitt says
Well if this is true, then the gov.uk is only following in the tradition of previous gov´s in banning forms of commemoration, for example during the first world war, as the horrendous casualties mounted after the Somme and Passchendaele and the black wreaths started to appeared on households front doors, they tried to ban them for whatever reason, but it didn´t have any effect, the families of the fallen wanted them there.and there they stayed.

Das die Briten denkbehindert sind und nicht kochen können, hat sich längst herum gesprochen.
Wer sich so eine Regierung wählt, die Islamisierung seines Landes ohne nennenswerte Gegenwehr hinnimmt, bekommt das, wovor andere ihre Kinder warnen. Und diesen links/woken König, samt seiner Sippe, habt ihr euch auch redlich verdient.

I have to wonder, more than a little, what is the end-game sought by UK politicians. Is it money? Is it power? Are the mass of UK politicians all Mooslimes at heart? Are they mesmerized by the promise of 72 virgins? Are they all suicidal?
Curiouser and curiouser. UK is on a highspeed run to extinction. Like frogs in a kettle, enjoying the warm water.

Misleading report. The UK govt. has not told people not to lay memorials it is the local authority of the town where the atrocity took place. Get your facts in order and try editing them, instead of posting eye catching headlines which are incorrect
