Original Note:
The BBC's story lacks context by implying the government only recently learned of the Southport suspect's Islamist links. A statement from Merseyside police suggests officials knew sooner, while social media users faced legal action for sharing this information early. https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/october/statement-from-chief-constable-serena-kennedy-and-partners-following-further-charges-for-axel-rudakubana/
