Telling British Muslims to essentially 'go home' if they're not sufficiently understanding or accepting of gay people is just racist.
Western gay men are some of the most privileged and obnoxiously bigoted people on earth - how can you expect solidarity if you act like this?
Rudakubana. Calocane. Digwa.
How many warnings get ignored before we admit the truth?
When public services fear accusations of racism more than they fear threats to public safety, innocent people pay the price.
Obviously no one should be threatening anyone or any police officer related or not related to this case.
But if @HantsPolice don't like "the significant spread of misinformation online", why did they post this and then delete it when the bodycam footage proved it was a blatant lie?
🚨 BREAKING: The family of Vickrum Digwa has apologised to Henry Nowak’s family and to the Sikh community for bringing it into “disrepute”
“The loss of a young life is a grief that no family should ever have to carry. We are deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the Nowak family has had to endure.
"We love Vickrum. We will continue to love him. That love does not stand in opposition to the sorrow we feel for the Nowak family. Both are real, and both will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
"We would give anything to turn back time so the path of both Henry and Vickrum never crossed that night. We cannot change what has happened, we just hope that no further pain is caused in its name.
"We apologise to the Sikh community for our son’s actions which have unfairly brought the community into disrepute.
"We ask that this tragedy is not used by anyone to inflame division or hostility towards any community.
"We now ask for privacy as we come to terms with what lies ahead”
His death wasn’t “tragic”. “Tragic” is a train derailing on a hot day. “Tragic” is a tornado ripping through some town in the US. What happened to Henry Nowak was an atrocity. You are just as bad as anyone else when it comes to deflecting on this.
Farage is sick.
He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him.
Farage is scum.
Something deeply late-Soviet about reacting to this awful story by focusing on "the horror of knife crime". Trapped in a mental box, entirely unable to process what has actually happened because it challenges his worldview.
This is almost too upsetting for words. The police involved should be fired immediately and prosecuted. Digwa’s family, who tried to cover up his crime, should be deported and
@HantsPolice should be taken into special measures and purged of DEI idiocy.
What happens when you constantly downplay people’s reasonable fears, when you insult them, call them nazis, and exclude them from common spaces, is not that you convinced them of your position and society has improved, but that they will feel more unsafe than before and end up voting for whoever will listen to them instead, even Kremlin-sold parties born from actual nazis like AfD.
Violence and hateful speech against women, gay men and trans women, after a steady decline since 1945 to the end of the century, has now skyrocketed again in just 15 years because of mass immigration in Europe, and this is a fact.
If you keep calling whoever complains about their own safety crazy, evil, dumb, racist, or a liar, then, in the privacy of their voting ballot, they will not vote for a reasonable middle ground reached through a constructive debate with you, you have excluded them from any debate, so they will vote for the most reactionary choice possible against your complete denial of their everyday reality, although it might be an extremist party or maybe even because of it.
Do not let our hard-earned European civility break under the weight of your suicidal empathy. Start looking at the reasons of our current multiple problems of integration of both newcomer and second-generation young men from Muslim countries, study them, debate them, and find potential solutions. Stop labelling what you don’t like to see as unreal.
If it was just about Israel, sure, but foreigners downplaying and denying the existence of the grooming gangs should be banned. Why should we allow people to come here and downplay atrocities committed against British people? We owe @cenkuygur nothing.
I do think our government does not have the same obligation to protect free speech vis a vis those visiting our country vs people who live here. This does seem mad though.
Vickrum Digwa killed Henry Nowak.
He is 23.
Labour plan to give serious criminals like him lighter sentences - because of their age and identity.
Labour can’t be trusted to keep us safe. https://t.co/cmIAXN78Zq
