Terrible events have occurred in Southport, England. Innocent young girls were having a Taylor Swift themed dance class, when they were attacked by a 17-year old man brandishing a knife. Three young girls have been killed, while many more are still in hospital in critical condition.
There was a local hero, a man in the area responded to cries for help and he held the killer down until police arrived.
Protests have broken out all over England. What I've noticed is that the media are choosing to describe these protests as being led by the far-right. Is this an appropriate way to describe the protesters?
The media seem complicit in forming a sort of perverse victim blaming narrative. It is easy to see why people no longer trust the media.
