When police arrived, Digwa claimed that Henry had been racially abusive and had knocked his turban off. The police believed him, ignoring Henry’s pleas that he was wounded even as he lay on ground, blood streaming from his head.
Extraordinarily, police chose to put Henry in handcuffs. The boy kept saying ‘I can’t breathe’. Only once he lost consciousness did police remove the handcuffs and administer CPR.
No one really knows why the altercation happened. Whatever the cause, judge William Mousley KC said that Henry had acted no more than ‘cheekily’ with Digwa in the moments before he was stabbed.
‘I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist,’ the judge concluded. The judge also noted that it is illegal for anyone but a Sikh to carry such a weapon. It’s something we allow in Britain, in the name of tolerance.

‘The real intervención will not… be a replay of 1847, but a replay of January 3. The prospect is not the Battle of Chapultepec: it is the raid on Caracas.’
Absolutely fascinating piece by Joshua Treviño on what the Trump administration has in store for Mexico …

I get an email from Dr. @SebGorka. He’s heard I’m writing a piece about him. It’s from his official White House account and this is the middle of the day. I am surprised he has the time to speak to me – surely it’s busy on the National Security Council? – but pleased to get the chance to talk about US counterterrorism policy. He ignores my earnest questions. Instead, he calls our editor, @Freddygray31, a “risible little twerp” and “a ball-less wonder.” Such rancor is out of all proportion to the gentle fun The Spectator has had in pricking his pomposity in the past, but Gorka is notorious for his feuds.

“Gorka once declared, ‘the alpha males are back’ in the White House. Should there be any doubts about his own T-levels, Gorka drives a Mustang with the vanity plate ‘Art of War’ and poses on X with his many weapons.”
