Farage Urges Musk to Remove Terror Videos Linked to Southport Killer

[Social Media]

 

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has called on Elon Musk to remove a violent terror video from X, formerly known as Twitter, that was viewed by Axel Rudakubana shortly before he killed three children in Southport. The footage, depicting the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at a Sydney church in April 2024, remains accessible on the platform despite requests from authorities in both the UK and Australia to have it taken down.

 

 

During a radio interview, Farage demanded that all terrorist material, including the video, be removed from social media platforms. Responding to a question about the video’s availability on X, Farage stated, “All terrorist material, of course, should be taken down.” When pressed specifically about the Sydney footage, he added, “If you tell me it’s still there, it should come down. Of course it should.”  

 

This stance may deepen tensions between Farage and Musk, the platform’s billionaire owner. Musk, who has reportedly been considering a significant financial donation to Reform UK, recently suggested that Farage step down as leader due to his refusal to support far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Robinson, currently jailed for contempt of court, has been described by Musk and others as a political prisoner.  

 

The video in question began circulating shortly after the attack on Bishop Emmanuel. While major tech companies acted swiftly to block its availability, X continued to host the content. Rudakubana searched for “Mar Mari Emmanuel stabbing” on X just six minutes before leaving his home to carry out the Southport killings, an act that shocked the nation and sparked widespread rioting.  

 

Farage also criticized the government’s handling of the aftermath and the subsequent inquiry into the Southport attack. He expressed distrust in the inquiry ordered by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, suggesting it was a strategy to delay uncovering the truth. “No. None,” Farage said when asked if he had confidence in the inquiry. “I wonder how long it’ll take. Six years, seven years? Because that was the argument Keir Starmer gave about a grooming gang’s full inquiry. Oh, we can’t do that. It’ll take seven years.”  

 

Farage accused the government of concealing critical details about Rudakubana’s activities, including the discovery of ricin poison and an al-Qaeda training manual at his residence. “I think the… attempt to cover everything up about Southport from day one has been pretty appalling,” he remarked. He also criticized the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for advising Liverpool police not to release key information about Rudakubana.  

 

Reflecting on the riots that followed the Southport stabbings, Farage argued that a lack of transparency contributed to the unrest. “I personally think that the riots were on the scale that they were because of a lack of truth. I think people can accept the truth even if they don’t like it. If they’re not told the truth, then you do tend to get some crackpot theories,” he said.  

 

The incident continues to raise questions about the responsibilities of social media platforms in controlling harmful content and the government’s approach to transparency in matters of public safety.

Should we see what type of animals are being let into Britain, farage sounds like he’s been brought, only Paul Golding from Britain First will defend the British peoples interests

I have to agree with Musk.

Muslim crimes in the west shouldn't be hidden, Tommy Robinson is clearly a political prisoner jailed for trying to expose Muslim crime in the UK.

No, he's jailed for contempt of court and received numerous warnings first.

"Political prisoner", seriously. Jeez.

Of course he is a political prisoner , he only repeated what had already been published, who else gets 18 months for contempt of court , why is he in solitary confinement and why is gag orders on everyone who visits him

Yaxley-Lennon is imprisoned for contempt of court.

 

he has never exposed Muslim crime in the UK, he has only camped on and put at risk ongoing prosecutions.

 

He’s a grifting fraudster.

I doubt you’ll accept any of this, but at least you’ll not have the excuse of not having your lack of actual facts having been corrected:

You've obviously never watched his 'Rape of Britain' documentaries, where he does just that.
