During a press conference at the Downing Street Briefing Room in central London, Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed the devastating attack that took place in Southport. He described it as a tragic moment in our history and expressed his concerns about a new type of terrorism threat emerging from individuals acting alone.
Sir Keir Starmer went on to explain that the face of terrorism has changed in recent years. While organized groups with clear political agendas, such as Al Qaeda, were once the predominant threat, there is now a growing number of lone individuals who carry out acts of extreme violence. These individuals are often isolated, misfits, and can access dangerous material online, fueled by a desire for notoriety and a fixation on violence for its own sake.
The Prime Minister's remarks came after 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and the attempted murder of eight other children and two adults in Southport. Among the victims were nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar, six-year-old Bebe King, and seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, who lost their lives in a knife attack at The Hart Space on July 29 last year.
