SOURCE DAILY OBSERVER: An Antiguan woman living in the United Kingdom says she’s afraid for her safety amid racially-charged riots sparked by the murders of three children in a knife attack.
Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, died after a knifeman entered a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Southport, near Liverpool, on July 29. Ten others were seriously injured.
Misinformation that the killer was a Muslim immigrant was quickly spread online. It later emerged that 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana was British-born but the rumours incited riots in several areas of England by far-right protestors who targeted mosques and hotels housing asylum-seekers.
The tension has created widespread fear and confusion among immigrants and ethnic minorities, including Antiguans like Sherryann Francis.
“I am feeling very anxious because I am not sure where they will attack next,” Francis, who has been living in the UK for 35 years, told the Daily Observer.
“The family is a bit fearful about what they’ve seen on the news and what’s happening so I have to reassure them daily; it’s about checking in and just letting everybody know that I’m okay. I get home from work, and once I’m in, I’m in.”
Francis, who lives in Tottenham, London, said this is the first time she has encountered racial unrest in the UK on such a large scale.

She don’t have no reason to feel fraid nobody is attacking black women in England! If there hadn’t been so many previous knife attacks by muslims in Europe then nobody would have cause to say that in the first place. They love cry see but Another one they just caught planning to attack a Taylor swift concert so they had to cancel. They never had one protest against ISIS but protesting war in Gaza chups. People tired man.
Stay safe and I would love to visit England, when this unrest is over.
PSYCHOLOGICALLY HARBORED FEARS…? …SENSELESS KILLINGS: …PARANOID…?
Real or imaginary, none may deny her concerns.
Even so, for ‘…35-years,’ a resident in the ‘…UNITED KINGDOM,’ she may have heard much more than those ‘…Three Senseless Killings.’
She may just be ‘…PARANOID,’ thus, none may attempt to allay such apparent ‘…Psychologically Harbored Fears.’
Well, if it ‘SAFER’ in the country of ‘…Domicile,’ then simply ‘…STAY.’
By the way, how did ‘ANR’ pick up this clearly ‘…UNWORTHY’ bit of news?
UNDERSTOOD:
A photogenic, and darn pretty-looking lady, too.
A unique specimen of ‘…GOD’S CREATION.’
COMPLIMENTS- ANR.
GOD BLESS THE LADY.

There’s more to fear on the streets of Antigua!!!
Well said wolves in sheep clothing.They flee from their country,you accept them,feed them give them shelter and then they turn around and kill you.What a set of curse animals.They need to go and stab their leaders where they flee from.
I predicted this 20 years ago. Antiguans in the UK better have their exit strategy ready. It’s only going to get worst. With the nazis and the muslims running riot, nowhere is safe.

Antiguans should be in no doubt about the UK’s volatile far right crisis. Over 7 decades ago a group of far right racist thugs murdered one of our country man Kelso Cochraine on a street in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Cochraine purpose for being in the UK was to study law, one evening on his way home he was brutally murdered by racist thugs, to date, the Metropolitan UK Police has not brought his killers to court.
In the early time of his death hanging was an enforceable act, the police burnt evidence as they were not prepared to allow a white man to face hanging for a black man.
Safety and security should always be a concern for blacks living in the UK and Europe, fairness and justice is not a given for blacks living in the UK.
The lady who expressed concerns did so out of concerns because the reality is that the far right movement is on the move and recently, one was elected as a MP in the UK, (Michael Farage). Black people should not be complacent or nieve about the potential danger with what life is truly like for Black people living in the UK.
