The Southport Atrocity has exposed the failings of the British state.

Picture Shows: Scenes of Crime Officers working following the Southport Atrocity.

One of the things that have come out of the inquiry into the Southport Atrocity is the failure of the British state to do the right thing at the right time. It’s a depressingly familiar judgement as we’ve seen many such failures in the past. We’ve seen state failure leading up to and in the aftermath of the Nottingham Attacks that saw Valdo Calocane stab three people to death and injure others with a vehicle. State failure was also a factor in the Manchester Arena bombing, the second London Bridge terror attack, the murder of Tory MP David Amess, the ongoing scandal of the Islamic Rape Gangs, the murders of three Gay men by an Islamic ‘asylum seeker’ and the all too numerous incidences of death and destruction that have been visited on ordinary British people. State failure is also a factor in the plethora of scandals, some involving the deaths of patients that afflict Britain’s National Health Service

In a sensible and well run society each of these situations should have led to change that benefits the ordinary Briton but it hasn’t. Each inquiry or each investigation into the above-mentioned horrors has concluded that ‘lessons need to be learned’ from each particular horror but these lessons are never ever learned. The rape gangs continue to rape, the NHS continues to kill those it’s supposed to cure, LBG people continue to live in fear of violence from those whom the Establishment has imported, Islamic terrorists and extremists continue to operate in our society and ordinary people continue to suffer from those who should never have been allowed in the country or who should have been locked up or been sectioned under the Mental Health Acts.

I can’t recall any instance where lessons were supposed to have been learned where things changed. Sure, there might be a short term tightening up of rules and regulations such as those we saw in the 1990’s following some high profile violent attacks by the catastrophically mentally ill, but major change is something we do not see. It’s rare if ever do we see those in positions of authority subject to criminal legal action following any of these avoidable tragedies and most of the time the state’s miscreants are allowed to ‘fall upwards’ into new state funded positions or allowed to quietly retire. The best we might see is some lower level employee thrown to the wolves but the decision makers nearly always get off in some way. The State clearly looks after its own.

The inquiry into the Southport Atrocity has shown us in stark detail just how badly the state has failed, how it failed to stop the perpetrator of this atrocity and how this resulted in the deaths of three innocent little girls and the serious injury of many others. Even setting aside the disgraceful behaviour of the perpetrator’s parents who hid vital and relevant information from social services and other agencies, it’s clear that nearly everyone involved in handling this perpetrator before he became a murderous monster has failed.

In the case of the perpetrator of the Southport Atrocity every state agency failed. Social Services failed, mental health services failed, the police failed, the education agencies that had contact with the perpetrator failed, warnings about the behaviour of the perpetrator were ignored, possibly for ideological reasons and so on and so on. This string of failures should be bad enough to bring the British people to the point of enragement about how we are (mis)governed, but what is worse is that I doubt, based on what has happened in other similar scandals, that any of those who have made errors will be held accountable for their decisions.

Just like in many other scandals, some lethal, that have occurred due to State failure, there will be no prosecutions of those who have failed, no sackings, no demotions, nothing. Those individuals, especially those at a higher level, whose failures, negligence and ideological capture contributed to the Southport Atrocity will not face justice in any form. They will be allowed to quietly retire on full pension, be pushed sideways or even promoted but they will not face any real sanction. The state has failed in the past, it failed with regards to the Southport Atrocity and it will without a doubt fail again at some point in the future. Unless those employed by the State are made responsible for their errors this disgraceful situation will continue on.
