Readers will all remember how, after the Southport murders, the first reports kept gaslighting us by claiming that the suspect was “a Bristol choirboy” or something like that. And most of the mainstream media featured photos of an angelic-looking young Mr Radukubana. It was only later that we found out the murderer actually (in my humble opinion) looked like evil incarnate.
Much of the media seem to be playing the same gaslighting game again after the Manchester synagogue attack. I watched ITV news on Frday evening. Their report carried the story about how the attacker’s father was a trauma surgeon and had issued a statement about how horrified he and his family were about his son’s “heinous” actions.
I don’t want Britain’s UK-hating, politicised two-tier police and two-tier judges to ‘do a Lucy Connolly’ on me. So I’ll just link you to a story originally featured in the Daily Telegraph and then picked up by the Daily Mail and The Daily Sceptic which suggests that the father may not have been quite as surprised, shocked and horrified as he now claims. I note that this aspect of the story was carefully ignored by ITV News. I didn’t watch the BBC or C4, but rather suspect that they didn’t mention it either. It looks like we’re being gaslit yet again. Since I wrote this, I saw a bit of the BBC news on early Saturday morning. The BBC now reported the father’s ‘interesting’ Facebook posts made following the October 7 Hamas massacre of Jews. However, this information was soon removed and not mentioned in the morning editions of BBC news.
As for Manchester’s Keystone cops – it appears that, after having shot two of the synagoge’s worshippers in addition to the attacker, they are still searching for the motive for the attacks. Though after I wrote this blog, I learnt that Manchester’s Keystone cops now believe that Jihad (the appropriately-named attacker) “may have been influenced by extremist Islamist ideology“. Truly, Manchester Keystone cops are Sherlock-Holmesian geniuses . But our great leader – Keir ‘Liar-liar’ Starmer – has not made any mention of the possible motive for the outrage or the ideology which may be the cause of the attack. As for me, I’m too afraid to speculate on the murderer’s motives as I know what happens to people who dare to mention the apparently ‘unmentionable’.
Here’s the Daily Mail’s version:
It’s amazing what you can now do with AI
And here to cheer us up is a short video. Keir, when you become a figure of ridicule, it’s time to go:

Haha, bless the authoress for spotting the ol gaslighting routine! Keystone cops indeed – couldnt agree more! Though I confess I found the Bristol choirboy angle rather more entertainingly absurd. At least the Manchester cops are finally grasping the Jihad bit, even if it took them a bit longer than solving a particularly tricky crossword clue. Still, better late than never, right? Almost makes you want to applaud the mainstream media for accidentally being truthful now and then. Almost.nano banana ai tool
