Farage implied, again as I understand it, that the offender was an asylum seeker Muslim. That was what caused things to kick off. The accused is not an asylum seeker, he is here as a citizen. I have yet to see proof he is a Muslim. He may or may not be a terrorist. All will be revealed at his trial.
It seems to me to be possible for someone to make use of the methods described in terrorist manuals without them necessarily subscribing to that particular terrorist ideology.
For example, I might mine something like The Anarchist Cookbook, or The Management of Savagery, or Anders Breivik’s 1,518-page manifesto for tips and hints on how to commit acts of terror without myself being either an anarchist, a Salafi-Jihadist, or a far-right extremist.
In the case of this offender, we simply don’t know what went on. He may be a self-radicalised Lone Wolf jihadist, or he may not. He may, in fact, be schizophrenic or prone to some other form of derangement.
In which case, it is premature of the usual suspects (Darren Grimes, Kelvin Mackenzie and ‘Lozza’ Fox had already done so when I checked earlier on ) to assume that this vindicates the initial assumptions that were made about the identity of the perpetrator of the Southport atrocity.
Plus, it does not in any way justify what subsequently took place, namely, the besieging of a mosque and a hotel housing asylum seekers (if I remember rightly) putting those inside in fear for their lives.
So as you rightly stated, all will be revealed at the trial.
