Pull yourself together.
Her name is Luana Zaratti, an Italian bus ticket inspector.
She was 26 when, during one of her shifts, she asked an illegal Egyptian immigrant for his ticket.
He had none. His answer was a violent headbutt straight to her face, so hard it shattered her nasal septum and caused severe head trauma.
Luana collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from her nose.
That single blow destroyed her life.
It left her with permanent brain damage and lifelong disability.
Years bedridden, almost vegetative.
But her willpower pulled her back to a shadow of the life she once had.
The attacker was sentenced to just 14 months in prison, but he never served a single day. He disappeared.
Luana, declared unfit to work, now survives on less than €1,000 a month.
Even to this day, one still occasionally comes across the classic "St George was Turkish" tweet. I thought at first this must be a parody account, but I don't think it is.
I do wonder if the flag shaggers who love this shirt know that Saint George was a Turkish man of Palestinian descent that was martyred in Palestine having never once set foot in England?
'If you want to know what sort of man Sir Keir Starmer is, consider these two clues'
'First, note how slow he was to make any public comment about the murder of Henry Nowak. And second, note how quick he was to condemn his political opponents for speaking up about it.'

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
“Of course, pleas to ‘not politicise’ these tragedies – driven by an ideology that nobody voted for – are selectively applied dependent on the victim. The murder of George Floyd, thousands of miles away, prompted calls for political reform here in the UK. The House of Commons and the House of Lords held a minute’s silence for Floyd – but that seems unlikely for Nowak.” 👇

"You are not likely to see Henry Nowak’s words stenciled on a mural. No corporation will change its logo. The same establishment that made a few words immortal when spoken by a black man in Minneapolis has met the same words, spoken by a white boy dying on a British street, with what can only be described as a determined, institutional silence. That silence is not neutral. It is a statement. It tells you exactly whose suffering the system has decided counts, and whose does not."
