Alder Hey has declared a major incident. It's not confirmation but it suggests the rumours might be true. Horrendous. Just read up on it now. Awful news. News just released that the suspect is a 17-year-old from the nearby village of Banks. Police don't think it's terror related.

He will get tried as an adult though yeah? Yes. " Juveniles may also be tried as adults in Crown Court for serious offences including homicide, certain firearms offences,[53] offences where an equivalent adult could go to prison for over 14 years,[54] and situations where the "dangerous offender" provisions of the Sentencing Act 2020 could apply."

The BBC doesn't deliberately lie but it does have a Tory bias, Laura the Tory being the best example. Of course people on the right believe it's a left-wing bias. I’ve mentioned this before but the BBC has an establishment bias. Generally speaking it is in favour of the ruling party of the day and the consensus that runs through whatever flavour of government/parliament there is. That’s the news and current affairs side though. The cultural and creative side of the BBC is certainly more left/liberal leaning but that’s largely because those are sectors where left/liberal leaning people tend to congregate. So it can be accurate to say that the BCC leans left and that the BBC leans right.

Broadly I agree, but it's leant quite Right since the most recent senior appointments, which were quite deliberate and obvious. Part of the issue, I think, is that generally it's fairly liberal socially but also tends towards economic liberalism. So it annoys everyone.

Attacker “originally from Cardiff” I bet he wasn’t Let’s not speculate. And even if he wasn’t, now isn’t the time for whatever debate might follow. Two kids have been stabbed to death at a dance party today, probably in front of their parents. Six of their mates are critically ill in hospital. I haven’t got the words or emotional resolve to think about it beyond the cold facts. For now, let them rest in peace and the families grieve. I don’t want any talk of religion/ethnicity etc on here tonight.

I don’t want any talk of religion/ethnicity etc on here tonight. Agreed, speculation isn't helpful or appropriate. Everyone should just hold their loved one that little bit tighter tonight, life is so fragile. Two children went to a holiday club and never came home. It sounds like it could have been worse had two adults (now in critical condition) not stepped in. The eyes of the UK will be on the police response, regardless of any characteristic of the perpetrator, I'm genuinely surprised a mob hasn't gathered at the police station* wanting to string him up, as these incidents stir up such understandable emotion in the public. *I think they have sensibly not released where he's being held and imagine he may be out of the area for his own protection. Let's just pray the remaining nine individuals pull through.

Can't even begin to understand, and I'm not sure I want to. This is a very sick world. My Grand daughter goes to dance classes and what those poor families must be going through is beyond my comprehension.

Away from what’s happened on Merseyside, have I got this right? Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was arrested trying to the leave the country, was bailed, and then just left anyway? WTF is that about? Heard he left on a pre booked holiday.
