Well done all those involved in creating this banner and displaying it today in Bangor, Co. Down. Northern Ireland stands with the Nowak family.

A one minute silence for Henry Nowak from the English football team in LA later this month is being admirably proposed by fashion designer @jeffbanks_uk. What a wonderful man Jeff so surely is. Please re-post this far and wide. Copy in @Keir_Starmer!!

This interview on @bbcnewsnight with @vicderbyshire is an absolute car crash for Andy Burnham. All over the place. No clue about 'fiscal rules', tetchy, unable to answer basic questions. Why do some people see him as the Messiah who can save Labour?

Police community support officer (PCSO) sacked after asking questions about Islam during a diversity training session.

Luke Salmons lost his job with North Yorkshire Police and was barred from policing after a conversation about Gaza with a Muslim officer at a training day on race, religion and culture.

Staff were encouraged to ask questions in what they were assured was a “safe space”. Salmons said the day turned into an “indoctrination” session, with trainers chanting “Islam is a religion of peace” and discussions about white privilege taking place.

He asked a Muslim officer for his views on terrorist attacks carried out by groups such as Hamas. The officer was happy to discuss the issue and even invited him for a coffee afterwards to continue the conversation. Within two days, Salmons was suspended for gross misconduct by an inspector who told him: “I don’t like your beliefs.”

Mr Salmons said: “I loved my job and I was good at it. I was well respected as a PCSO and my colleagues said they loved working with me and couldn’t understand what was happening.”

Speaking about the events of October 2024, he said: “The whole day was pretty much about Islam. At one point the trainers walked up and down the room for several minutes saying ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ over and over again. It was bizarre.

“Then, a Muslim sergeant spoke about his faith and invited questions. It was made clear that there was no such thing as a bad question and we could speak freely.

“Someone asked him about why it was bad to depict images of Mohammed, then I asked him what, as a peaceful Muslim, he thought about the situation in Gaza, with Hamas and other terrorist groups carrying out atrocities in the name of Islam.

“We had a really good discussion and I asked him what he understood jihad to mean. There was no problem, I spoke to him privately at lunch and he asked me what books I had read about Islam. He said he would love to speak to me more, so we arranged to meet for a coffee at his police station.

“I believed I was on safe ground when the training sessions invited open discussion. I quickly discovered that questioning Islam is now treated as ‘wrongthink’ within North Yorkshire Police.”

“But an overzealous inspector took against me and that was the end of my career, even though I had done nothing wrong.”

He later won an appeal against his dismissal but never received an apology from the force, where he said a “culture of fear” existed among officers who were scared of saying the wrong thing.

There is an Islamic blasphemy law being enforced by police forces across the country.

@zatzi Well done, we need the Rees Mogg’s to show how far the UK has fallen.

[Annunziata Rees-Mogg @zatzi]

God bless and rest in peace.

The whole world can see what a good, kind and fun boy Henry was and that he’d have made a fine man.

Evil took that from him and his loved ones.

The police were wrong. Their training appears to put anti-racism (even where no-racism existed) above life.

That must change. But Henry Nowak should not have needed to die to make sure it does.

Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.

Why the Henry Novak murder is a wake-up call for Britain.

My Friday monologue @OutpostStudios

[Colin Brazier @ColinBrazierTV]

This was the week when the BBC finally had to acknowledge, grudgingly, reluctantly, with teeth gritted, that there is such a thing out there - in the Britain beyond London - which amounts to a form of anti-white racism.

[Mike Parry @mikeparry8]

Pipe down Ali old pal - 10 years in Fleet St together - You're only so maniacally frustrated about news agendas these days because you no longer have the power or relevance to ring up the @BBC every day and ORDER them which pro Labour story to lead on like you used to do 👍😁

[Kate Hoey @CatharineHoey]

Who do BBC reporters always refer to Reform as a right wing party but never the Greens or even the Lib Dem’s or Labour as a Left wing party ?

[Daniel ShenSmith (BlackBeltBarrister) @dshensmith]

@EdwardJDavey This you?

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Richard Hermer - Labour’s Attorney General - has lied to the BBC, claiming Reform wants migrants to “drown” in the Channel.

Hermer used lawfare to hound British troops who had done nothing wrong, in one case pushing him to attempt suicide.

He is a traitor to his country.

I have no interest in anything he has to say other than a full apology to the British veterans whose lives he ruined and turning himself in to authorities.

Reform will secure our border and deport all illegal migrants.

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

Complete insanity in the United Kingdom. The calls for @Keir_Starmer to be immediately removed for allowing this once great nation to go into the toilet are not only righteous but necessary.

Henry Nowak may he R. I. P.

PCSO Luke Salmons lost his job at North Yorkshire Police for asking a Muslim sergeant about jihad and Hamas atrocities during a mandatory “safe space” diversity session. Session trainers were marching up and down chanting “Islam is a religion of peace.” 😳

[Christian Concern @CConcern]

🚨(1)BREAKING: Christian community police officer wins settlement after being forced out of his role for questioning and criticising Islam during diversity training.

Luke Salmons, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was suspended for six months, forced to resign and put on a police barring list after he had questioned radical Islam in a training session.

He had been told that the session was a 'safe place' for discussion, but after expressing his beliefs, the consequences were devastating.

After taking legal action, his case has now been settled on confidential terms, however his story raises serious concerns about free speech and religious freedom in UK policing.

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.

Yes, we need to use our Brexit freedoms to a much greater extent, allowing Britain to excel in sectors including biotech, artificial intelligence, satellites, agricultural genomics and financial services among others.

And of course the UK needs to recalibrate once again as a low-tax, low-regulation, high-productivity economy – and, again, Brexit provides the perfect opportunity, if only we could summon the courage.

But the "clearly Brexit has been an economic disaster" horror stories aren’t true – and, if we so chose, and pursue the right policies, Britain could soar economically outside the EU.

Conventional wisdom, as is so often the case, is no wisdom at all ....
