A Poignant Demonstration of Community Unity & Support In Southport And Around The Country

As Racists Riot But Don’t Help

The Grieving Families And The Communities In Their Most Painful Hour of Need.

The People Resist And Say “Not In Our Name.”

More Violence Is Not What They Want.



In January 2025 Axel Rudakubana, Aged Just 17, Pleaded Guilty To The Murder of Three Little Girls Who Had Been Attending A Taylor Swift Dance Workshop July 2024 In Southport. He Received A Minimum of 52 Years For Murder, Attempted Murder, Knife Possession, And Possession ofToxic Chemicals And A Jihadist Manual. Young Alice da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King, And Elsie Dot Stancombe Loved Dance And Their Parents Have Chosen To Remember Them In That Spirit. This Includes A Memorial Playground Being Built At The School of Alice And Bebe, And Fundraising Projects For Local Charities. Six Years Previously Axel Had Been A Poster Boy For Children In Need.

It Is Still Not Clear What Turned Him In To A Knife-Wielding Terrosit Murderer In The Intervening Six Years (When Technically He Was Still Just A Child Himself, Having Not Yet Reached 18). And It Never Will Be Unless Professionals Get Inside His Head. And Possibly Learn More About His Decline From His Family Too. Apparently Family Members Grew Scared of Him. He Was Born In Britain. Police Were Criticised For Not Confirming That Fact Early On As It Allowed The Far Right To Spin A Hateful Narrative About Him Being An Immigrant.

Race Riots Broke Out As The Far Right Seized The Opportunity To Denigrate Immigrants And Organise Violent Gatherings. Racist Billionnaire Elon Musk (Messaging From Abroad On His Platform X) And Ex-Convict Tommy ‘Far-Right-Racist’Robinson’ Based In London Were Amongst The Ringleaders. But Locals Decried This Political Opportunism And Said Not In Their Name. The Community Came Together And Cleaned Up The Mess The Rioters Made By Smashing Windows Of Immigrant Families, Attacking Their Homes And Going On The Rampage In The Streets.

The King Paid A Royal Visit To The Area And Applauded The Community For Coming Together.

Wayne Campbell Travelled To An Area In London Where The Far Right Had Threatened Violence, In Order To Capture The Unfolding of Events. What He Saw Pleasantly Surprised Him. Another Moment of Outstanding Community Solidarity In The Wake of Another School Involved Tragedy, And Resistence To Racial Hatred.

He Travels Nationally, Internationally And Globally As A Visual Activist To Capure Powerfu Photographs of People’s Resistence And Renewal Demonstrating The Combined Power of Humanity, Community, And Unity.

His 4th Book Highlighting Such Powerful Moments Is Released July 2026.


March 23rd 2024, Wayne Attended A Far Right Protest Called ‘Rally For British Culture’. He Does Not Share Everyone’s Politics, However He Does Believe In The Democracy of Everyone’s Right To Protest. And He Is Willing To Take The Pictures To Prove It. But Protest Can Be Ugly. It Can Be Tough. And It Can Be Dangerous. One Has To Be Extra Aware, Vigilant And Cautious. However The Fact That He Does What He Does, In The Way That He Does, Greatly Adds To His Visual Activist Credentials.

Below Is A Stunning Photograph Capturing A Young Female Pro Palestinian Protestor And An Older Snarling Individual In An England Hat.

The Beauty of Her Composure Is In Sharp Contrast To His Face Full of Ugly Contorted Hatred. One Might Call It ‘Beauty & The Beast’.

As Wayne Says “Be Careful Out There”.
