There’s a certain buzz when you spot your book in the window of a bookshop ! Sometimes when other writers shout about it I wonder what they’re going on about - but now it’s me & I’m jumping around like a big kid! Buy at @booksellercrow in #CrystalPalace or https://t.co/kIazgxBc7u
Henry Nowak's mother has said:
"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."
And there you have it.
He wanted to look tough. He posted a painting of himself surrounded by oiled-up shirtless men in tiny shorts waving pompoms. Safe to say this did not land quite the way he intended.
Sophy Ridge points out that Black women are more likely to die during childbirth.
Tory shadow minister Claire Coutinho says it might be because there were other health factors involved & we need to root out the ideology that says its driven by racism.
Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww
There is no need for British Sikhs to be issuing these statements!
They have no more responsibility for Henry Nowak's hideous murder than any of us.
Hundreds of white Brits kill someone each year.
White people didn't have to issue statements disassociating themselves!
10 years ago those who are now rioting in the name of Henry Nowak, a young Polish British man who was killed by a lying piece of shit, are those who targeted people like Henry.
They think we have a short memory. We don't.
“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”
Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
Andrew Neil, one of the British media’s loudest voices telling us he and the media know more about climate change and the threat to the planet than NASA, The Met office, Cambridge, Oxford etc
A reminder:
The UK, France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal all broke their hottest May and spring temperature records
2024 is the hottest year in recorded history globally
Carbon dioxide levels are higher than in millions of years
Food crops are being affected by erratic weather which is a driver of inflation
