I was a radio presenter and live on air in May 2023 when I had to break the news that Lee Rigby had been brutally murdered by this man and his accomplice in Woolwich. They used this machete to try to behead Rigby.

13 long years later, no lessons have been learned by the authorities. None at all.

No wonder Hampshire police did all they could to cover this up. They look completely compromised and partial. We may as well have an enemy nation policing our streets.

Personally, I thought my first day in the post was a great success.

Is Keir Starmer trying to keep his political career alive by standing for the Green Party in Makerfield?

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

[Justice For Henry Nowak @HenryNowakSol_]

The Daily Mail has now published details from sentencing that almost no one has reported.

As Henry Nowak — bleeding from five stab wounds — tried to climb a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence to escape, Vickrum Digwa filmed him.

And taunted him.

“You’re not going to get away with this big man.”

Henry landed on top of a parked car on the other side of the fence. Digwa walked round and took close-up photos of him lying on the ground.

A home security camera then captured what may be the most chilling exchange in this entire case.

Henry: “I am dying.”

Digwa: “You’re not dying bro.”

Ten minutes later, Henry said: “You stabbed me.”

Digwa replied: “No, I didn’t.”

In the ten minutes that followed the stabbing, Vickrum Digwa did not call an ambulance. He filmed Henry for a full five minutes instead.

That clip was deemed too disturbing to be played in court.

Stop and process what that means. A judge and a jury sat through video of Digwa describing his blade in “loving terms,” through bodycam of Henry being handcuffed as he died, through pathologist evidence of the eight-centimetre chest wound — and the only piece of footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was the five minutes Vickrum Digwa spent filming an 18-year-old as he bled to death on a Southampton pavement.

The judge said it in sentencing: “You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.”

The lie Digwa told the police did not begin when officers arrived. It began ten minutes earlier, in Henry’s face, as Henry told him he was dying.

This is what Hampshire Police walked into. This is the man they believed when they got there. This is what the court has now formally established took place between the stabbing and Henry’s death.

The five-minute video exists. Henry’s family knows what is on it. The court knows what is on it. The public does not.

It is too disturbing to be shown.

But not too disturbing to have been done to him.

Henry — forever 18. 🤍

Since it seems us plebs are no longer allowed to have our own reactions to things, can the commentariat tell us what's the appropriate response to watching a video where an innocent victim was treated as a criminal and died in police custody? What is the regime-approved emotion?

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

Everyone who bent a knee for a crackhead in Minneapolis is telling you to be quiet about a teenager getting murdered in Southampton.

[Emma Kenny @emmakennytv]

It’s actually dreadful to see the names George Floyd and Henry Nowak in the same statements. Henry was a lovely, decent, joyful young man who was doing everything to grow into the type of human we all celebrate. George Floyd was a woman abusing, drug dependent criminal. He shouldn’t be dead…..thats the ONLY parallel to draw!

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

In an effort to respect the family of Henry Nowak, Keir Starmer has bravely hidden behind them, saying that the last thing they would want is for him to have to answer any questions about the two tier nature of policing in this country.

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Some might say this is performative but I think it sends an important message as Labour MPs show solidarity with the Nowak family.

Oh hang on this is for a foreign criminal arrested by foreign police in a foreign country. The jokes.

[Geoff Norcott @GeoffNorcott]

No idea how he found the strength to communicate like this. Dignified and objective while utterly damming.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Living in a luxury house in London and sipping champagne on the book festival circuit is about as far away from serving a prison sentence as I can imagine. It’s worth remembering that thanks to Nicola Sturgeon vulnerable women in Scottish prisons are banged up with violent men.

"I don't have any conscious memory of seeing that motorhome"

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Don’t be fooled. Nicola Sturgeon (wife) is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. As leader of the party she is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction is 💯 clear.

[Katie Hopkins @KTHopkins]

Honest and open question.

Why is it always the wilderbeast built like a brick shit shed with hair on its third chin who pretend to be ‘women’?

Why is it never a hot guy with excellent hair and a massive cock?
