Mass shooting in Plymouth England - the Incel killer was a supporter of Trump & Farage
Police have said they are not yet able to confirm a motive for the shootings and are keeping an open mind. The anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate has said that, while the shooter was clear about his support for politicians including Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, it sees no political motive.
They said the shooter was plugged in to the incel subculture, though he claimed not to fully identify with it. A spokesperson said:
While it is too soon to say what motivated this man to commit murder, we do know that the incel ideology can be dangerous and radicalising. It is built on misogyny and a twisted, desperate world view.
We do not know what motivated this horrendous incident. However, those who consume incel content have engaged in violent attacks. Whatever happened in Plymouth, the hatred of women and the communities of men who engage in a celebration of that hatred online must be taken seriously, in schools, by social media firms and by government.
