Far-right dance class murders ‘vigil’ called off in Cardiff
Martin Shipton
Far-right activists who were planning to incite racial hatred by exploiting a false narrative about the Southport dance class murders have called off a demonstration they had announced for Saturday August 3.
Swansea-based Stan Robinson and Dan Morgan used their “Voice of Wales” Facebook blog to encourage people to attend a “vigil” outside the Senedd.
But in a video broadcast on the evening of Thursday August 1, they said the event will not be taking place after all.
The “vigil” was said to be in memory of the three primary school children stabbed to death in their dance class in Southport on Monday, but on social media details of the event appear under the headline “End the Nation of Sanctuary. Enough is Enough.”
In 2019, the Welsh Government declared that Wales would become the world’s first “Nation of Sanctuary”, a plan aimed at making refugees feel welcome by offering them practical help that was subsequently endorsed by the United Nations.
Disinformation
Disinformation spread wildly about the appalling Southport knife attacks in a bid to discredit the Nation of Sanctuary policy, with suggestions that the suspected perpetrator was a Muslim refugee who had arrived in the UK on a small boat in 2023.
In fact the suspect was born in Cardiff to parents who had migrated from Rwanda, a country that is not Islamic. Seventeen-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana appeared at Liverpool Crown Court charged with three murders and 10 further counts of attempted murder after eight other children and two adults were seriously injured in the attack. The suspect, who lives in the Lancashire village of Banks, also faces a charge of possessing a curved kitchen knife.
On Tuesday night a protest by hundreds of far-right activists resulted in missiles being thrown at police in Southport and a local mosque attacked.
Subsequently there has been disorder in parts of London and Hartlepool, in the north east of England, again apparently organised by racists spreading the false narrative that the Southport suspect was a Muslim.
Derisory
The Voice of Wales duo latched onto the misinformation to promote the “vigil” they said would take place in Cardiff on Saturday. Stan Robinson was UKIP’s candidate in Llanelli at the July 4 general election, picking up a derisory 1.5% of the vote. Dan Morgan is a convicted fraudster who received a six-months suspended prison sentence in October 2023 for his role in an insurance scam that robbed hundreds of ordinary people of their savings.
On their Facebook site, Robinson and Morgan posted inflammatory messages that are racist and Islamophobic.
But on their Thursday evening video blog, Morgan said: “I know there was a lot of talk about Saturday and there being an event planned on Saturday. With everything that’s going on and what we’re seeing right now, I think that it is just one big trap … So there isn’t anything that I know of going on in Cardiff this Saturday.”
A Welsh Labour source had told Nation.Cymru: “It’s difficult to imagine how much lower Stan Robinson and Dan Morgan can stoop. To exploit the horrific attack in Southport with lies aimed at stirring up racism and Islamophobia is utterly despicable and beneath contempt.”
Counter rally
A “counter rally” named From Gaza to Southport: Stand For the Lives of All Children has also been announced for Saturday outside the Senedd. A statement posted on social media by the far-left Welsh Underground Network under the headline “Fascists out of Wales” said: “Fascists are usurping tragedy to advance their racist and violent platform. They’re coming to our capital to ‘peacefully protest’ about Wales being a nation of sanctuary. We have seen what this ‘peaceful protest’ is when they violently rioted in Southport this week.
“We say no. We outright reject them, and our members will be on the streets to let them know. They don’t want to end violence against children, they want to twist it, they want to use the murder of children as an excuse for their hate, for their bigotry, for their violence.”

‘Voice of Wales’ will always be drowned out by the voice of the people of Wales. God help and save the people and police in English towns this weekend where I gather more hate riots are planned. Not in my country, not in my name.
Do Not Use God’s Name In Vein, lest all the plagues mentioned in His Book strike you down and Drown YOU out.
UKIP and its agents, Party Leader Niccolo Tenconi, Party President Neil Hamilton, Party Chairman Benjamin Walker, Party Spokes Person (for Wales) Stan Robinson, are instruments of the Lord’s Will and Testamentary Disposition.
They are not “my voice”. They never will be. They do not speak for me.
I am more concerned about the immigrants taking over our country thats English immigrants sat in cafes in Pontypridd quite often and people with london and south east England accents with big families and they look like dredgings of society WHY ATE THEY BEING DUMPED IN WALES
I agree Dai, I welcome immigrants into Wales, but I’d like to see more diversity. The majority of immigrants are people on low incomes, where are the people on middle and higher incomes? We need far greater diversity in our communities. The people you are referring to are being dumped here as problem families by local authorities across the UK. In your case Rhondda Cynon Taff CBC are receiving funding to relocate such families. Local authorities need to be far more transparent about their policies about the relocation of problem families.
“people with london and south east England accents”
Well if just about every famous Welsh person leaves Wales and now lives in London, then some Londoners must travel the other way!
Nice big smiley photo…!
convicted fraudster Dan Morgan, hmmmmm, should I trust what he is saying 🤔
Dan is no more a criminal than me.
Mockers like you call me a “Cosplay Cardinal” which is ridiculous because I am not a Cardinal! . At least, not yet; I know not what the Lord of Hosts has in store for his Humblest Servant and Footstep Follower.
To atone, you must help me make this Scottish Island https://www.givesendgo.com/torsa forever Christian, a mere £1,500,000 to My Trust will secure this. You know you can trust me.
Whenever these people come to Cardiff, they are met by at least 10 times as many telling them to jog on! The problem being that organised fascists have gained some purchase in Llanelli, meaning that effort must now be given over to winning that community back so that we can dig them out at the roots. Left to their own devices, they will opportunistically swan around South Wales looking to exploit any little piece of strife.
We’ve been here before on a few occasions, but usually the far-right in Wales are extremely fragmented and have only a limited and very localised influence that is relatively easily countered. That isn’t grounds for complacency but rather to strive to keep these elements marginalised though this is becoming increasingly hard, this article gives us an inkling of what we’re up against: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/aug/02/how-tiktok-bots-and-ai-have-powered-a-resurgence-in-uk-far-right-violence
They exploied the Stradey Park protest for their own personal gain too, and of course the Sospan bunch lapped it up, because they are too stupid to look further into their BS.
As a person from Llanelli I would question your comment
As I was at the Stradey Park Hotel
We was there to stop them bring in 250 men that we knew nothing about
Please tell me do you lock your door to your home at night if so why
I always do, even more so now the police are having to put their lives on the line dealing with far right scumbags looting and rioting instead of day to day policing.
As an aside, have you popped in to Stradey Park for drink to show your solidarity with the staff?
This group of disgusting scum need their heads read.
How low and vile does one have to be to use this tragedy for any kind of gain?
Voice of Wales?? More like screaming of toddlers.
“Screaming”? Certainly not, my interviewee, UKIP’s marvellous Leader Niccolo Marcel Tenconi, does not scream and has no need to scream. This Modern-day Elijah is seldom in public without his great big Microphone and Loudhailer with which he hectors and upbraids Communists, Socialists and other Sinners and Lovers of The Father of The Lie. This is just as well. Diminutive like Zacchaeus, Prophet Tenconi would otherwise neither be seen nor heard. Marvellous are the Ways of our Lord, the Word.
I wonder if Stan was impressed by the way Mr Gething was dispatched.
I doubt it.
Investigative journalism did for Gething.
As it will for Stan Robinson.
Robinson’s fall won’t be a matter of integrity though as that’s something he lacks.
If the company he keeps is any indication it could well involve flashing blue lights and handcuffs.
The exchange went but the offensive image remains, not a good look between the lines !
The “Voice of Wales” Dan Morgan is a pathetic little cretin. How low can you go to use the deaths of three children for your own twisted political ends. Pure scum.
I’d be very careful about whom you call “little”.
The ‘Voice of Wales’ is nothing of the sort – just pointless troublemakers (get a proper job, lads!) who will try and wring falsehoods out of any tragedy. That said – the ‘far left Welsh Underground Network’ are also peddlers of lies and falsehoods, and should not be given an uncritical platform either. Hijacking the murders of three children in England to protest about Gaza is at best very tasteless.
What a gutless pair. Their “peaceful vigil” cancelled. Were they afraid that too many decent minded people would turn up and outnumber the “ far right gentlefolk” they were expecting.
What you have posted actually happened.Less than 20 far right supporter’s against 400 Anti Fascists.
A Great Day for Cymru.
I can’t help noticing the sexual frisson between fat fash Stan and the dumb fraudster Dan. I hope the happy couple get what they deserve.
“Frisson”? That’s likely a Frog Word, and I won’t permit it in Torsa. We’re strictly British here. Especially and most-of-all, me.
But yes, Stanley and Daniel must be have their Union Sanctified and protected by Holey Matri-Money, and I am scanning for someone who can stand-in for me while I cleanse Michigan of unbelievers, satanists and those who seek to expose me to scrutiny, who will Burn in Hellfire for All Eternity, and worse, I will set my flock on them, including the one who loved kicking people after he knocks them down.
When Dan got on Stage at the protest, he spoke so fast with his miniture arms flailing about that I thought he was going soil his little shorts, he was panicking so much that he couldn’t wait for it to be over. Every pic I see him with Tommy, he always grinning away like a kid that’s just been allowed to go on the big rides at a theme park.
At six foot three, less three inches from when a-la-Samson I was shorn of my Afro having been less than vigilant at a House of Lesser-Repute, I still stand heads and shoulder over my New Congregation in the Grand Rapids Kingdom Independence Party, just like I do over those in the Untied Kingdom Independence Party, where I remain the Leading Man, and with the Almighty’s hand on my shoulder will Spoke It from Across the Ocean.

Garnering nearly £200,000 in my two grafts on givesendgo, nothing petty or smallscale there, I’ve fled to Grand Rapids to continue the Lord’s Work of Fleecing the Sheep. But I’m still Lead Spokes Man for UKIP, with Groanerous Responsibilities, so I’ve ended up with a Knotty Spiritual Problem. I’ve Paid Heed to the Sexual Frisson, so who’s going to conduct the Holey Numptials for the Blessful Couple, Rusty Stan ‘n Convicted Dan? Should I Ordain UKIP’s Leader, Nicolo Marcel Tenconi, what a fine English name just like St.Geṓrgios of Lydda, so he can take their VoWs? In these End Times,… Read more »
If it really is Father Calvin Robinson posting here, your Grand Rapids Church isn’t picking up the phone or responding to emails.You’ve blocked me on twitter etc. Since both you and NICK TENCONI are Lead somethings in UKIP, there’s material on that hypocrite you really do need to have if you are really a true man of the cloth. We’ve put some of it here — https://x.com/nicktenconii/with_replies and look for his dating app use, his “new” Muslim GF, his hypocrisy about marriage (he’s single), property ownership (40 yrs old but still renting) and the Christian Traditional Values of Home, Family,… Read more »
