The pickets had failed to stop or even restrict power supplies to the nation and so the united front was beginning to disintegrate.

Responsibility for the violence that ensued cannot be sourced to a single person or post - but the BBC has previously establisheddriving a message for people to gather for protests.

In the hours immediately after the Southport attack, several posts from- including self-styled news accounts - began sharing false claims. This misinformation soon merged together.By the time violence started in the Merseyside town on the evening of 30 July, some of the claims had been amplified or repeated by well-known online influencers such as Andrew Tate, who had millions of views repeating false narratives on X.

However, one LinkedIn post in particular - analysed by the BBC - appears to have had an outsized effect in stirring up the false belief that the dance class suspect was a migrant.It was written by a local man, who could have had no idea of how far his words would travel.

Eddie Murray - who lives near Southport - posted this message about three hours after the attack, stating that a migrant had carried it out:

"My two youngest children went to holiday club this morning in Southport for a day of fun only for a migrant to enter and murder/fatally wound multiple children. My kids are fine. They are shocked and in hysterics, but they are safe. My thoughts are with the other 30 kids and families that are suffering right now.She called for the gap to be "corrected".

A Home Office representative said the government planned to "halve the level of violence against women and girls within the next decade"."This begins with improving policing and the criminal justice system, relentlessly pursuing dangerous offenders and providing sustained support for victims," the spokesman added.

A minimum 25-year sentence wasfor murderers who carried a weapon to the scene of the crime.
