One noticeable thing about the Southport riot was the glaring absence of the inciter-in-chief, Tommy Robinson’s right-hand man, Danny Tommo.

Real name Daniel Thomas, it was Tommo who went online on Monday night calling for riots, and angrily declaring that “every city has to go up”. “I’m ready. I’m ready to go” he screamed.

Except he wasn’t.

Many racist hooligan types did heed his call and turned up in Southport last night to attack local muslims. It mattered nothing to them that it is highly unlikely that the Southport killer was even a Muslim. That was widely known last night. No, for them, this had nothing to do with the actual killings. They gleefully seized the tragedy as an opportunity to attack the St Lukes Rd mosque. In the process they hospitalised dozens of police officers and forced local (white!) people to flee their homes for their own safety.

As if that community had not suffered enough; they now had to bear this vile spectacle courtesy of Robinson and Tommo.

But Tommo himself was nowhere to be seen. It’s straight out of the gutless Robinson playbook: call out the troops, get them fired up, then slope away and keep out of trouble yourself.

We can only hope that, along with scouring CCTV and footage shot at the scene to identify the perpetrators, police will also be looking closely at Tommo’s video of the day before. A clearer cut case of incitement it would be hard to find.
