The UK has tumbled further into authoritarianism.
Englishman Andrew McIntyre has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for posting statements on social media in 2024 deemed dangerous by the UK's justice system.
McIntyre took to social media in an angry manner after the Southport Taylor Swift dance class knife attack where three young girls were murdered and multiple people were injured.
The official government line, promoted by large media outlets, was non-terrorism.
Riots ensued in various places across the UK as citizens called-out immigration policies, terrorism and the Islamization of the country.
Hundreds were arrested for posting to social media "offensive" "racist" "misinformation" that incited unrest in response to the murders. It was later revealed the perpetrator possessed Al Qaeda literature.
McIntyre, a 39-year-old taxi driver from Lancashire, set up a Telegram channel named "Southport Wake Up" in the immediate aftermath. He is said to have used the platform for spreading misinformation.
He posting material from supposedly "far right" groups like Tommy Robinson, Britain First, and For Britain.
He posted a map with a note about a mosque's location, urging followers to "Rise Up English Lads" for a gathering at St. Luke’s Road in Southport.
He wrote, "Message to all...stand in our way, even if you’re just doing your job — prepare to fall," before violence broke out.
He also posted, "Well done last night lads, to all you heavy hitters."
McIntyre plead guilty to encouraging violent disorder and possession of a knife in a public place, which was found hidden in his car during his arrest.
Judge Neil Flewitt at Liverpool Crown Court sentenced McIntyre, stating his actions were motivated by racial hatred and noting that McIntyre was "prominent" in spreading misinformation post-attack.
The sentence was aggravated due to racial hostility and attacks on police officers despite letters from his parents and a family friend portraying him as someone of good character.
The Southport stabber, Axel Rudakubana, has been charged with multiple offences following the murders in Southport.
He was charged with three counts of murder, ten counts of attempted murder, and possession of a bladed article.
Additionally, later charges included possession of terrorism-related material and producing a toxin, specifically ricin, found in his home.
