Eleven children and two adults have been knifed at a Taylor Swift-themed event in Southport.
A knife-wielding attacker has injured eleven children – two of them fatally – and two adults at a Taylor Swift-themed yoga event in the town of Southport in northwestern England.
Merseyside Police were called to Hart Street in the town of 95,000 just before noon on Monday, and said they detained a man armed with a knife.
Police identified the suspect as “a 17-year-old male” from the nearby community of Banks and said the incident is “not currently being treated as terror-related.”
Channel 3 named the suspect as Ali-Al-Shakati, an asylum-seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year. He was reportedly “on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services.”
However, updated reports from police say the attacker was born in Cardiff.
Two of the stabbed children died, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said on Monday evening. Of the nine that were injured, six were still in critical condition, as were the two adults wounded while attempting to confront the attacker.
Police confirmed that the target was a “Taylor Swift yoga and dance workshop” for elementary-school age children, hosted by a studio on Hart Street.
Colin Parry, owner of Masters Vehicle Body Repairs nearby, told reporters that six or seven “young girls” had been stabbed.
“The mothers are coming here now and screaming. It is like a scene from a horror movie,” Parry told the PA news agency. “It’s like something from America, not like sunny Southport.”
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of Liverpool City Region, urged the public not to spread “unconfirmed speculation and false information” and wait for official updates. Local authorities originally offered few details about the attack, however, saying only that “there is no wider threat to the public.”
The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said it had dispatched 13 ambulances and special resources to the scene. So far, “eight patients with stab injuries” have been treated at Merseyside’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Aintree University Hospital and Southport and Formby hospital, NWAS said.
Alder Hey has asked parents to only bring children in for treatment “if it is urgent,” as the hospital’s emergency department is “currently extremely busy.”
“Horrendous and deeply shocking news emerging from Southport. My thoughts are with all those affected,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on X, in response to the incident. “I am being kept updated as the situation develops.”
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the incident as “very serious” and “awful,” thanking the emergency services for their “swift and courageous response.”
Well waiting for official news reports are not what people do anymore because it’s always a false narrative. It was racially motivated and the attacker should be sentenced to death.
Allowing his here and in the UK is clearly a recipe for disaster. Send them back, that’s my view. Deepest sympathy for the family.
Human garbage
Exenterate
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of Liverpool City, more concerned with his city’s immigration PR than the children being murdered through his politician buddies’ duplicity.
Absolute scumbag.
How the Brits haven’t started building gallows outside Westminster yet is beyond me.
Help wanted: Gallows builder, full time employment. Must be willing to travel to five eyes countries 😏.
Wellcome (with two ‘L’s, as in the Wellcome Trust) to the onset of ‘Project 2025’, and the Labour Government, of which the PM has a J3wi$h wife, and both of them will do the bidding of the Talmudic Zionists globally and especially in their illegal support of war criminal Nutanyahu!
No wonder they wanted Tommy Robinson arrested, as he points out the dangers which have now happened, and have been happening!
I’ll bet that the girls who were stabbed were all Slavic / or Anglo-Saxon Caucasians..!!!
Selective targeting by the Untermensch proto-African 80 IQ Primate!
If this doesn’t demand getting aircraft, ships, and barges fitted-out for austere mass deportations back to the African Continent, then what’s next; a massive race war in major cities? coupled with other ‘population reducing conspiracies’?

That is, after all, what the Zionist-based PTB want.
It may take citizens in the streets to carry out the deportations since the government won’t!!
Tommy is a Zionist
I think Tommy has fled to another country elsewhere breaking his bale. That would make the govt.very peeved. Probably not too keen to go back to prison.
I don’t think he’s a Zionist.
Why hasn’t the British Government brought in the following;
1. Gallows;
2. Guillotine;
3. Repealing the restrictive gun laws that allows for the ‘conceal carry’ of vetted NON-migrants;
4. Instituted a forced return of the Jihadists migrants back to their hell holes???
NOTE TO WESTERN PARENTS; try and get Kevlar anti-stabbing / bulletproof vests for your kids, along with other Kevlar products, ie backpacks, sweaters, etc.
Make your own home-made pepper spray in a compact spray bottle to squirt down the lesser brain-washed hominids if they threaten you or your children!
THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, AND BOTH THE CURRENT UK GOVERNMENT AND THE PAST 12 GOVERNMENTS SHOULD HAVE DEPORTED THE ‘WINDRUSHEES’ AND THE PROTO-HOMINID VOYAGERS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN YEARS AGO!!!
They are saying the killer was born in Cardiff but no more details to be released due to his age apparently
They will say he is a white far right male, and his name is, Ali-Al-Shakati.
As they will keep saying, diversity is our strength.
The mainstream media are truly vile, reptilian things.
Today they are putting out stories that the Trump shooter’s “discovered” social media account shows he was a far-right antisemitic neo-nazi who wanted to kill Trump because he’s…um…also a far-right antisemitic neo-nazi 🤔🤷🏼♂️
They just say these thing out loud with a straight face, and then later have to run little side stories about, “Gee whizz, why don’t the general public trust us anymore?”
Must be that Google and Facebook. Must be that “changing landscape™️”.
Just dismiss whatever they tell you about the perp in this story, you already know all the facts that matter.
Recently Muslims have rioted, viciously attacked a soldier using two knives, and two Muslim thugs viciously attacked police at an airport.
The British people are sick of their violence, especially to females. Woke politicians, and media created this problem.
His name is given in the article as Ali Al Shakati. Almost ALL of the other news sites STILL keep saying his name is unknown. My Brave Browser`s AI seems convinced that is his name. All the big news sites keep saying his name is unknown.
