A global pandemic. A maze of unanswered questions.

The lethal cost of Covid-19 has been felt around the world - but where did the virus come from? Did it leak from a lab, or is that just a conspiracy theory? #CovidLeak?

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

Disgraceful, shameful, behaviour.

But all too familiar.

We know from the #nottinghaminquiry that the police tried to use the media to control the Official Narrative.

We see precisely the same pattern emerging with the murder of Henry Nowak.

When the source of disinformation is police statements, public trust is destroyed.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

In October 2024, the Free Speech Union came to the aid of Rick Prior, the elected Chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation, after he was suspended for saying that rank-and-file officers had become so fearful of complaints of racism — and potentially losing their jobs — that they no longer dared challenge allegations of racism, particularly when made by people of colour.

According to Prior, some officers were reluctant to intervene when they suspected a crime was being committed if the perpetrator was a black or brown person for fear of being accused of racism.

Fortunately, with our support, Rick Prior won his

Given the circumstance of Henry Nowak's death, it's clear that Rick Prior was right to raise these concerns.

The police have overcorrected in response to the perception that the force is institutionally racist, and that needs to be addressed.

People like Rick Prior — and other elected federation chairs — must be free to speak out about what they believe has gone wrong and propose common-sense solutions without risking suspension or dismissal.

The lack of free speech within policing on these issues has contributed to the current state of affairs in which officers appear to be more concerned about not following up accusations of racism than protecting people from violent criminals.

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

As Britain wakes up to the dangers of progressive race theory, I'm reminded of my report that Essex Police described white people as a "non-protected group."

Sadly it had little impact at the time. It's such a shame that it often takes a tragedy to force reassessment.

The FBI just arrested him for smuggling biological materials from Congo.

Here's the description of what happened, from the court documents:

[Rory Geoghegan @rorygeo]

No10 should familiarise themselves with the @PoliceChiefs and @CollegeofPolice "commitment to racial equity".

It specifically urges police officers to treat people differently based on the colour of their skin.

It should be withdrawn.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Policing by “protected characteristics” has been going on for years. A friend was told by a PC to say her burglary was “racially aggravated” to get fast tracked. Each force has targets.
Add “hate crime” - the “perception” that someone has experienced hatred with the accuser immediately called the “victim” - and you get today’s two-tier policing.
Older officers use their common sense. Younger ones are terrified of being accused of racism and tick the boxes.
Most older officers have taken early retirement in despair. The data show how inexperienced most police now are - 5 years service max.
A senior police officer said, “Most chief constables would rather f*ck up a major murder inquiry than be found racist”.
Hence Henry Nowak handcuffed and not believed as he lay dying.

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

@PhilCoates9 @wornoutoflondon The systemic issues identified, eg the failure to adequately factor in protection of the public from harm in MH treatment plans, are seismic and will likely be resisted by government and institutional leaders regardless of the Chair's recommendations.

With this guy around making policy…..it’s abundant to me we’re not going to get anywhere.
Public safety placed at the very bottom.
Head buried in the sand….. whilst Nottingham, Southport, Birmingham murders happened.
What changes did he bring with Clunis report in mind….none.
The pasture is there…try the gate for size……

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

If meaningful change & accountability result from the #nottinghaminquiry it will be due to the determination & intelligence of the families

Their tireless rigour has ensured crucial evidence cannot be suppressed or ignored.

The families have prevented institutional cover-up.

[Dr Sanjoy Kumar @drsanjoykumar]

The problem prime minister is that the IOPC are useless. They haven’t a clue. In the Nottingham attacks, we as a family have investigated more, reviewed more and pointed out more than IOPC investigators.
If I had let the Leicestershire police professional conduct panel go ahead,the fact that there was an outstanding warrant for Valdo Calocane would have been covered up. The fact that the officer knew there was a warrant and did nothing would have been covered up.

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

The govt is using the meaningless IOPC "investigation" to play for time because they are incapable of addressing the systemic issues highlighted by the abysmal police handling of the murder of Henry Nowak.

[Rory Geoghegan @rorygeo]

Questions that deserve answers around the case of Henry Nowak - but that won't be answered by IOPC 👇

1⃣ Did Hampshire Police conduct any sort of review or debrief of the police response in the immediate aftermath of Henry's murder - and, if so, have any learnings from it been delivered to officers and staff?

2⃣ Did Henry's killer have any prior contact with police in Hampshire (or elsewhere) and if so, what was the nature of any such contact and decision-making around any of those encounters?

3⃣ How much first aid training is undertaken and how often? Is it fit for purpose and have other training needs have been put ahead of ensuring effective first aid and other core training?

4⃣ Why did senior officers prioritise ideologically-loaded training over getting the foundations for their relatively inexperienced workforce right?

5⃣ Why are police officers being urged to treat people differently based on their skin colour?

The IOPC investigation can't or won't touch any of this - and the force won't answer without a public inquiry.

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

The murder of Henry Nowak shows how law enforcement is corrupted by political correctness.

And it's far from the only case.

We need to dismantle the whole structure of identity politics - and return us to equality before the law.

[Emma @MrsEmmaWebber]

There are times when we must let it James; this is not one of them.
Gross failings by public agencies directly contributed to the loss of my beautiful son, Barney, in Nottingham in June 2023. 💔
We have to make as much noise as is needed, for as long as it takes, to force change and improvement in public safety.
If we don’t have that, what do we have. 💚💛

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

@MrsEmmaWebber @NJ_Timothy Given the evidence of the experienced Detective was essentially suppressed, we need to consider how widespread this practice is?

[Joe Rich @joerichlaw]

Hi @Grok - friend of mine who is a former police officer has set out what she considers to be the 10 most serious breaches of PACE in Henry Nowak’s case below. Can you set out what you consider to be your 10 most serious breaches in a similar way and explain each one, please?

[Ian Acheson 🇬🇧☘️ @NotThatBigIan]

This is a straightforward risk management scandal. The only thing that is not prioritised in our current system is *harm to others* It is obscured and downplayed by institutional timidity, incompetence and ideological capture. In short: homicidal empathy.

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

@Richard_AHolmes The "nut of the issue" is that political expediency and genuflecting to the wishes of Power was placed above National Security.

Disgracefully so.

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

@DomAdlerUK Former PCC Kevin Hurley defended the police response to the exasperation & astonishment of many of us.

[GB News @GBNEWS]

'I think those police officers should see the inside of prison cell.'

@PatrickChristys and gets locked in a heated debate with former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Superintendent, Kevin Hurley, over the police's arrest of Henry Nowak.

[Jan Klimkowski @JanKlimkowski]

A government that served the people would ensure National Security concerns were identified and mitigated.

But No.

The Mandelson files confirm that Power gets what Power wants.

And we are all endangered as a result....

[Richard Holmes 🕵🏻‍♂️ @Richard_AHolmes]

BREAK: Foreign Office staff advised Peter Mandelson to mislead vetting officers about his foreign connections in order to obtain the highest level of security.

New documents released by the Cabinet Office reveal extra scrutiny was placed on Mandelson’s connections to foreign nations by vetting officers.

In response to a request for a detailed list of his overseas connections during the process, the then-Head of US Global Issues and Canada Team at the Foreign Office advised Mandelson send a “handful of names” even though he didn’t consider them “close contacts”.

“That will reassure the vetting team that you’ve been comprehensive,” the Foreign Office official told Mandelson, “even if it’s all quite artificial”.

Big questions about how this process was managed under severe time (and political) pressures.

And I hope the public tsunami of questions start now……….
