Exclusive from @billcurtis0 and @matt_dathan

A number of officers in the force responsible for the arrest of Henry Nowak felt “controlled and pressured to feel certain ways” after receiving mandatory diversity training, a survey has revealed

The courses taught Hampshire & Isle of Wight constabulary officers and staff about racism, “unconscious bias”, “privilege and the importance of being an ally”

A staff survey found that one in seven officers and staff (15 per cent) had felt “controlled and pressured” to adopt certain ideas in the sessions and the same number thought “mistakes would have been held against me”. A fifth said they feared being “rejected for saying the wrong thing”

The revelations are likely to provoke fresh questions about the role of equality and diversity guidelines in the actions of police officers, after video that showed officers in the same force handcuffing Nowak, 18, for alleged racial abuse while he lay dying from stab wounds

Did you know?

In the Manchester Airport case, Mohammed Abid, who's a GMP officer, gave a glowing statement on behalf of attackers Mohammed Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, and it was read to the jury, which can only have influenced them.

Mohammed Abid was the attackers' brother.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary published this Race Action Plan covering 2024 to 2026. It is the operational document of the force that handcuffed Henry Nowak as he died.

Read it carefully because every element of what happened on that Southampton street in December 2025 is visible in its priorities, its language and its omissions.

The plan states the force will pursue offenders and deal with offences that cause the most harm to ethnic minority communities. Not all communities. Ethnic minority communities specifically. The document that is supposed to govern equal policing contains within it an explicit hierarchy of whose harm the force prioritises.

The plan commits to training officers on the history of policing minority ethnic communities to understand the trauma and failings of the past. Officers are to be trained in the grievances of specific communities. They are not trained to treat every member of the public as an equal before the law regardless of which community makes an accusation against them. The consequence of that training is documented on body cam footage that the Prime Minister described as making him feel sick.

The plan establishes a Black and Ethnic Minority network called BEAM with scrutiny powers over the Chief Constable's Legitimacy Board. A community network defined by ethnicity has institutional oversight of the force's legitimacy decisions. The force that handcuffed Henry Nowak built that oversight structure into its own governance framework.

The plan commits to making the force anti-discriminatory and to explaining or reforming any disproportionality. Disproportionality in policing is the term used when members of one community are stopped, searched or arrested at higher rates than their population share. The entire framework of anti-racism training in British policing is built around reducing that disproportionality. The officers who arrested Henry Nowak and did not arrest his killer were acting within a framework designed to avoid exactly the kind of disproportionality that arresting a Sikh man on the word of a white victim might have produced.

Shabana Mahmood said there must be no two tier policing. This is the document that built it. It is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary's own Race Action Plan. It is publicly available. It was in force on December 4th 2025. Nobody is investigating it.

@ShaykhSulaiman So your contention is that extra benefits for the family of Vickrum Digwa might have spared Henry. Nowaks life?

I think you're misguided, plain wrong and dangerous to yourself.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

During the 2024 campaign, a post went massively viral claiming JD Vance’s memoir “Hillbilly Elegy” contained a scene in which Vance had sex with a latex glove jammed between two couch cushions. This was a total fabrication.

In interviews, the poster responsible for the meme said he was inspired by a story about Lyndon Johnson spreading false rumors about political opponents having sex with pigs to try to force them to publicly deny the allegations.

The fact that the claim about Vance, which came with page numbers that could easily be checked, was totally false, easily falsifiable and came from a source who openly admitted he made the whole thing up was irrelevant. The story spread across the internet and into mainstream media and discourse.

Stephen Colbert joked about it repeatedly. He shared AI generated meme images of Vance with a couch. John Oliver also spread the memes. And, eventually, so did the Harris/Walz campaign, with Walz saying he couldn’t wait to debate Vance, if Vance would “get off the couch and show up.”

On the first episode of his 2005 show, “The Colbert Report,” Stephen Colbert, who gleefully spread the couch memes, famously promulgated a widely concept called “truthiness.” He explained that certain things that are not true nonetheless “feel true” because they validate priors, and people would rather have their beliefs reinforced than debunked.

He said: “It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that’s not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.”

“Truthiness” was not a criticism of liberal discourse — it was presented as the animating concept of his parody of Bill O’Reilly; that conservatives didn’t want truth, they wanted “truthiness.”

Liberals like Colbert and Oliver demonstrate no self-reflection or self-awareness with regard to their previous criticisms of conservatives and conservative media when they spread viral misinformation like the JD Vance couch meme, which was a perfect example of “truthiness,” in that it was a completely fabricated claim that had the feel of truth to progressives because it validated their beliefs about Vance.

Anyway, here’s my point: A screenshot is currently circulating of a passage from the Wall Street Journal article about Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s history of infidelity, sexting and hookup apps, which says that Platner refers to his penis as “Mein Fuhrer.”

A lot of people are saying this screenshot is fabricated. Some of these people are claiming that they are WSJ subscribers who have read the paywalled WSJ article, or even that they are journalists who wrote this article, and that this passage does not appear in it.

You should not listen to these people.

Graham Platner refers to his penis as “Mein Fuhrer,” and also, he has shaved his pubic hair into a “landing strip,” which he refers to as “Der Fuhrer’s mustache.”

This is the truth, or at least, is exactly as true as it needs to be.

per the Trans communities own narrative, the number of men who want to dress like this is small, very small.

So who - apart from Trans women - is going to think "hey, that lingerie looks good on a dude, I think I'll buy some"??

Question: Which of these are genocides?

3% = Percent of populace of Gaza killed in the war

2.5% = Percent of populace of US killed in the civil war

4% = Percent of populace of Europe killed in WW2

33% = Percent of Muslim men in Srebrenica killed in 12 days

50-75% = Percent of Armenians in Turkey killed by the Young Turks

67% = Percent of European Jews killed by the Nazis

Do you get it now or do you need to call a friend for help?

One of the narrow and bitter little quirks of the (Republic of) Ireland Government surreptitiously commandeering the whole island within its title.
The Irish Embassy refuses to use the correct name for the United Kingdom & claims to be the Embassy to Great Britain instead, despite supposedly recognising that Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom back in 1998 as part of the Good Friday Agreement.

🟥 W toku procesu wycieka coraz więcej szczegółów. Zabójca, Vickrum Digwa, zadzwonił na policje, a nie na pogotowie i skłamał, że to Henry go zaatakował, był pijany, obraził go rasistowsko i strącił mu turban.
Policja Hampshire przyjechała (trzy policjantki) i natychmiast zakuli Henry’ego w kajdanki, mimo że leżał w kałuży krwi z ranami kłutymi klatki piersiowej i nóg. Wielokrotnie powtarzał: „I’ve been stabbed” („Zostałem dźgnięty”), „I can’t breathe” („Nie mogę oddychać”). Na nagraniu z kamery osobistej słychać głos policjanta: „I don’t think you have, mate” („Nie sądzę, koleś”).
Policjant, który zakuł Henry’ego w kajdanki, śmiał się, gdy ten powiedział, że został dźgnięty. Potem wleczono go po żwirze i trzymano skutego, gdy się wykrwawiał. Dopiero gdy stracił przytomność, funkcjonariusze zdjęli kajdanki i zaczęli reanimację. Henry zmarł na miejscu.
Ponadto policja zabrała telefon Henry’ego i jego taty i przeczytała wszystkie wiadomości w poszukiwaniu rasistowskich komentarzy lub żartów.
Teraz policja z Hampshire wydała publiczne przeprosiny: „Przepraszamy, że Henry został zakuty i aresztowany w momencie, gdy tracił przytomność. Zostaliśmy okłamani przez sprawcę…” Mimo to ani sad, ani policja nie ujawniły dotąd nagrań z kamer.
Trwa dochodzenie IOPC (niezależny organ ds. skarg na policję). Wielu domaga się dymisji funkcjonariuszy, którzy byli na miejscu. Trzy policjantki podobno odeszły ze służby (niepotwierdzone).
