The Southport guy was second generation Rwandan 'Christian'. I mean, it tells us nothing at all.
Hmm. Do your scare quotes around Christian tell us anything at all?

As Lawrence Fox carefully and helpfully explained (before the man's description was released): "You can't hate them enough".

And alas he has an audience for his lunacy.He is not quite right in the head.
Is Lozza's view of the world improved by the news the driver was a 'white, British 53-yr-old guy'?
It's pointless information.
Possibly a minor. As Terry Christian pointed out.So every other time, when the suspect was not so described, the conclusion we can draw is....
Joey Barton was still in the insinuation stage.As Lawrence Fox carefully and helpfully explained (before the man's description was released): "You can't hate them enough".
Like 'diesel'?It's pointless information.
The mob wanted revenge on Muslims. The actual perpetrator being Christian is obviously relevant.
It also becomes relevant when racist scum will try to stir up Islamophobic violence by saying the perpetrator was a Muslim.Back in the day there was a poisoner called Graham Young, who notoriously systematically poisoned his workmates. No-one cared about his race or religion.
It becomes relevant when the perp is acting out of racial or religious ideology, for example, Muslim jihadists or neo-nazi fifth columnists who have an interest in exploiting racist issues.
In a report published earlier this month into last summer's events, His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services said the police service "must do more to communicate online" and "fill the information void with the truth".
"Forces must provide a true narrative online to reach people who may be searching for information," it added.
In our last post we heard from Ross Welsh, a Liverpool fan who was at the parade yesterday. The BBC has spoken to several other eyewitnesses - here's what some of them have told us:
Matthew O'Carroll, 28, from Runcorn, said the car was travelling at a "decent" speed and that the driver had been beeping as he went through the crowd.
A woman called Chelsea, who was at the parade with her friend and her friend's daughter, said the car "skimmed us" and it would have hit them if the horn was not going off.
BBC reporter Matt Cole described seeing a car ploughing through the crowd that "just wasn't stopping", adding that it was being chased by a group of men "trying to bang on the side of it and throw things at it".
Harry Rashid said he also saw people hitting the vehicle's windows before it ploughed forward, with some managing to briefly open the door.
Yes, I noticed that in an article by... sorry for this... The Daily Mail.Seems like the police may have been acting under recommendations published just three weeks ago.

Why police released details about Liverpool crash suspect so quickly
The decision shows lessons have been learned from the Southport attacks last summer, writes Daniel Sandford.www.bbc.co.uk
Meanwhile this is interesting too, currently on the BBC live coverage. The bolding is the BBC's. That seems really unusual - no other articles on the entire page have bolded phrases. Of course the bolded phrases are quite leading toward a certain conclusion.

There is a claim that the car had initially got behind the cordon by tail-gating an ambulance.
At some point, people started smacking the car, whether the driver provoked that or not, I don't know.
Then later someone pulled the wiper off the back window.
I think the driver reacted by suddenly reversing or using the car to attack people who were already damaging his car.
Then at some point he sped off and through the crowd.
This is one of the reasons why I think it may have been a road rage incident that became more and more extreme through the driver's attempts to escape.
Admittedly, this is speculation.

Child among four 'seriously ill' in hospital after Liverpool crash
A total of 27 people have been taken to hospital following the horrific incident, with four still seriously injured - including a child who was one of four trapped under the car when firefighters arrived.www.dailymail.co.uk
I don't think there's a specific legal definition of "road rage".That is not road rage. That is wanton reckless intent to cause harm or even death. !
