44,000 likes and 1.1 million views for a video of complete lies, alleging a migrant assaulted a holidaymaker.

Literally none of that happened.

I'll go through the facts of the video; albeit a forlorn task, given none of these racist bullies care about stuff like 'the truth.' /1

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

🚨 Until today, I was unaware of the circumstances leading up to the tragic stabbing of Henry Nowak.

The tweet quoted below contains a more detailed commentary on the fallout following the sentencing.

On 3 December 2025, Henry Nowak (18), a University of Southampton student, was walking alone in the Portswood area of Southampton after a night out.

During his walk home, he was recording himself on Snapchat. While walking along Belmont Road, he encountered Vickrum Singh Digwa (23) approaching from the opposite direction.

As they passed, Nowak filmed Digwa on his phone and directed taunting remarks at him. The Snapchat footage was shown in court. In the footage, Nowak says: “Innit bad man, what bad man. You’re a bad man, say you’re a bad man, go on.”

Digwa responded: “I am a bad man.”

Following this verbal exchange, Digwa turned back towards Nowak. A physical confrontation occurred in which Digwa took or attempted to take Nowak’s phone. A struggle followed between the two men. Digwa then produced a knife and stabbed Nowak multiple times.

Nowak suffered five stab wounds, including a fatal wound to the chest which caused catastrophic internal injury. He also sustained additional wounds to other parts of the body.

The judge’s comments are worth reading in full. Here is just one extract (I direct you particularly to paragraph 27):

13. “In Belmont Road, you and Henry passed each other. You claimed he deliberately barged into you. I am sure that was one of the many lies you have told and repeated since it happened. However, there was an interaction between you both. Henry, perhaps cheekily, made a comment, asking if you were a “bad man.” He was filming you on his phone when he said it. The tone of his voice was not aggressive or threatening but, as it turned out, a tragic error of judgement. It is a reasonable conclusion that the comment was because he had seen the large, sheathed dagger. That would have been a very unusual thing for an 18-year-old student and non-Sikh to see.

14. You moved towards him and, confidently, told him that you were “a bad man.” This was the response, I believe, of someone who thought they were being disrespected, made worse by the perceived intrusion of being filmed. You were not frightened or concerned and grabbed his phone, removing it from him. The exact events which immediately followed were only witnessed by Henry and you. However, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that Henry would have wanted his phone back, believing it had been stolen from him or that he had been robbed. That may have led to a physical struggle between you and him. In that situation, there was every need for self-restraint and control on your part. As someone who was born and raised in the UK, that should have been your focus rather than any distorted view of your religious traditions. Strong words, even a verbal threat, might have been justified but no more.

15. It would also seem that your turban may have been knocked, pulled or, potentially, punched off your head. The wearing of a turban at all times is another fundamental religious requirement of being a male Sikh. The removal of it by another would be considered a serious act and a further mark of disrespect. It is a reasonable conclusion that this would only have added to your anger.

16. You drew the dagger from its sheath and, as the jury was sure, you deliberately stabbed Henry in the chest with it. The knife passed through several layers of clothing, as demonstrated by the multiple slits in his dark top where the material had been overlaid on itself in the struggle and the single slit in his shirt. It passed upwards through soft tissue, between the two uppermost ribs, catching a lung and cutting an important vein behind the collar bone. This was to a depth of 8cm from the skin surface. The consequent bleeding flowed into his chest cavity. The pathologist, Amanda Jeffrey, found 1200 ml, or over 2 pints, of blood there. She said that no emergency medical treatment would have permitted access to the bleeding vein. In simple terms, he would not have survived, however quickly he received first aid, CPR or expert medical treatment.

17. You also stabbed him twice to the upper leg at some point and once again to the lower abdomen/groin area at the front. The latter only resulted in a knife tip injury; the former were both to a substantial depth, although not as deep as the chest wound. Henry’s face was also slashed with the blade of the dagger, but I cannot be sure that was aimed or intended. However, one or more of the four stabs must have had an immediate effect, as Henry was never able to put up his hands to defend himself from further serious injury. He was defenceless.

18. You, by contrast, had little, if any, injury. You told the attending police that you had a small bruise and swelling to your eye from a punch, but it is not obvious on body-worn footage taken then, and there has been no independent evidence given in the trial of any injury at all to you.

19. Your brother, Gurpreet, arrived on the scene very shortly after your attack had finished. You then filmed Henry desperately trying to get away from you, somehow scaling a fence onto a communal bin before landing on a car in front of the property next door. Bloodstains show that he had got one, more or all of his injuries before then.

20. You then showed a callous disregard for his wellbeing, knowing you had stabbed him to the chest. You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby. Your attitude did not change even though Henry was clearly going downhill very fast. Your brother did much the same, although he may just have been accepting what you had told him, rather than lying himself. You lied to him that you had been attacked, picking up on his question about whether it had been accompanied by racism by falsely claiming that Henry had called you a “Paki.” I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist. You are the only person to make that claim and it is completely at odds with his previous character.

21. You joined your brother in relating these lies to the police. By then your mother and father were at the scene. Gurpreet explained that no weapons had been involved or were present. In fact, whilst he was talking to the call operator, you told your mother to take the murder weapon, sheath and belt away, which she did. You did not tell your father what had really happened. Much of the time you just stood by as he at least tried to do something to help Henry.

22. You carried on telling these wicked lies when police attended the scene, hampering them in doing their job and effectively obstructing the course of justice. You kept Henry’s phone with the incriminating recording of you on it. You had no intention of handing it over. It was found on you after you had been arrested and taken into police custody.

23. Thereafter, the time came when the police needed permission from a court to extend the time for you to be questioned in custody and arranged for you and Gurpreet to be taken there for that purpose. They took the opportunity to record secretly any conversation between the two of you on the journey. Speaking in Punjabi, you agreed to pretend you had acted in self-defence even though you confessed to stabbing Henry three times, including once to the chest with the dagger. You knew you were guilty, demonstrated by your saying to Gurpreet that if there were any cameras in that part of Belmont Road, you would be unable to put forward self-defence. You decided, much as you had at the scene, to try to cover it up. In all your police interviews, you decided not to answer questions about the incident. Instead, you made a written statement on 7/12/2025 which told more lies.

24. Once the criminal proceedings were underway, you made another statement, developing and modifying those lies. It was only when you gave evidence in court that you put forward your full defence. The jury entirely rejected that defence and I do too.

25. In addition to killing Henry and the irreparable harm to those close to him, you have also caused real suffering to others who knew him. You have brought shame upon your family, your community and your religion. Your actions have stirred up racial tension in Southampton and across the country which have made many Sikhs worried about their own safety even though they have done absolutely nothing wrong.

26. You bear some responsibility for the offence committed by your mother when you asked her to take the murder weapon away from you after she arrived on the scene. Your lies to the police about what had happened led, in part, to the arrests of your father, brother and mother for murder and their being taken into police custody. Your mother has remained in custody for the past seven months.

27. Another consequence of those lies is that the attending police officers honestly believed that there were reasonable grounds for suspecting Henry had committed an offence and arrested him, with the consequence he was handcuffed for about a minute before his condition further deteriorated and the arresting officer began CPR. The police were given a convincing but wholly false narrative of the incident. It was dark and Henry was wearing a dark top. The entry damage caused by the knife through it would not have been obvious. Whilst there was visible blood on Henry, it would not have clearly been seen coming from that wound and the clearly visible facial wound was not life-threatening. Henry was complaining that he had been stabbed and was struggling to breathe, but that would not have necessarily told the officers how serious the situation had become. It is the experience of the criminal courts that sometimes someone arrested and handcuffed will feign injury in the hope they may be released. These police officers were faced with having to make quick decisions in pressurised circumstances about the best way to act. The genuine shock to the particular police officer when he realised that he had been giving CPR to Henry when he had a serious chest wound tends to show that he was doing his best in a very difficult situation.

28. You were still present at the scene when Henry was saying he was dying and still you did not tell the truth about how seriously you knew you had hurt him and the need for urgency. Instead, you said he had not been stabbed and that he was exaggerating.

29. The sentence for murder is life imprisonment. You will remain in prison for life unless the Parole Board decides that it is safe for you to be released on a life licence.”

Young men are still being radicalised at an alarming rate

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

🚨 This sick evil bastard posted this disinformation on 1st June, now seen more than half-a-million times.

The photos of Christi Hill (a former officer) and Tristan Parsons (another officer), falsely label them as responsible for "un aliving" (killing/neglecting) Henry Nowak and calling for their names to "never be erased" until "justice."

Hill had left the force over a year earlier (April 2024), and Parsons was out of the country (in the US) at the time.

Neither was involved in the tragic Nowak incident. The misidentification (amplified by social media and even AI errors) has led to death threats, forcing both into hiding/safe houses.

The account @AlexHawthorn2 has multiple red flags: it's a low-follower "patriot" account; generic bio; zero evidence it's their actual legal name; a clearly fake photograph; it has just 257 followers despite being created 6 years ago; it follows numerous far-right-related US accounts; and almost all of its followers are similarly low-follower/anonymous/pseudonymous.

The shit-stirring coward behind this account should be tried for inciting violence and wasting police time and UK taxpayers' money, forced to pay the costs of putting two police officers into hiding/safe houses, and made to pay damages to them for the death threats they received.

Despite all this, the misleading tweet is STILL up, and the account is still churning out toxic shit, thanks to @elonmusk.

Este bebé palestino se llamaba Sam, tenía 7 meses de vida, el ejército de "Israel" le asesinó hoy de un disparo en la cabeza en Cisjordania... pero no hay indignación mediática.

Solo imagina que vas con tu bebé en tu coche, después de venir de cenar de la casa de la abuela.... de repente, ves soldados en una calle, abren fuego contra tu coche y le disparan en la cabeza a tu bebé... solo porque eres palestino.

Si este bebé fuese blanco y europeo y lo hubiese asesinado un musulmán a tiros, saldría en todas las portadas de la prensa racista occidental... pero como es palestino, ni existe.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

This post/segment is a textbook example of the populism it warns about in the final line.

It follows the following technique:

It opens with a genuinely horrible crime with specific documented causes.

Then, without pausing,
it slides into theme park discounts for people on benefits.

Then fare evasion.

By the third paragraph you've moved from Nowak's killing to someone not buying a train ticket, and they're presented as symptoms of the same disease.

That's a grievance smoothie with 0 analytical and rational coherence.

It blends a real injustice with petty resentments for working class people and people in poverty until they're indistinguishable, then serve it under "two-tier Britain" so the audience feels everything is connected without having to explain how.

Notice what's missing:

0 policy analysis.

0 investigation to identify the causes.

0 evidence-based data-backed solutions.

Just "ordinary, law-abiding, tax-paying people".

That's the category everyone puts themselves in, from convicted criminals, like Robinson, to my 85 year old neighbour who makes the best scones in Edinburgh.

And it's that "ordinary, law-abiding, tax-paying people" group pitched against an unnamed "them".

That's populism. Not the populism he's warning about at the end. The populism he's doing, right now, in this post by identifying a virtuous in-group, a parasitic out-group, flattens every problem into a single narrative of victimhood, and offers nothing except the feeling that someone finally said it.

PS: Britain, like 99,999999% of all societies that ever existed, has always been a two-tier system; it's called the class system.

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

This happened in Avellaneda, Santa Fe province, Argentina. Not in Ireland. Not in the UK. Not Europe. It happened in another continent, in Argentina. The attacker is a homeless man known locally as "Máscara" who is a psychiatric patient. It was a random attack by a mentally ill person, not a racially motivated assault.

The father, Matías Paczkowski, said he won't press charges because the man is "a sick person with psychiatric problems who is always out on the street begging". The attacker was detained and admitted to the Psychiatry ward at Hospital de Reconquista under his brother's guardianship.

A mentally ill homeless man in a small Argentine town attacked a stranger at random. That's a tragedy and a mental health failure. And you, @ferguspower1, are posting a screeching man whining "MY BLOOD IS FUCKING BOILING" to a million viewers as if it's evidence of civilisational collapse, with zero context, zero source, and zero mention that it happened on a different fucking continent.

You are rage-farming. You find a distressing story, strip all context, let the easily manipulated followers fill in the narrative with their bias.

Masses of people just watched it and assumed whatever they were primed to assume. The father showed more decency in refusing to press charges than you showed in spreading lies.

Biba Henry & Nicole Smallman were two sisters horrifically killed in a London park in broad daylight. Two Met police officers took pictures of their dead bodies and shared them in a whatsapp group captioning ‘dead birds’. Did any party leader call for ‘cold rage’? Did anyone riot

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

In any democracy, security forces killing a baby would normally be a traumatic event for society. It would lead to condemnation, self-reflection, policy-change.

Not in Apartheid Israel. Where the policy that led to the killing is the point. And the death does not matter.

This is the Israeli military justification for attacking a Lebanese army patrol inside Leb territory - ‘the area is an active combat zone, and movement in the area requires coordination with the IDF’ The Israeli military is demanding Leb troops asks its permission to move around its own country 🧵

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

This is your reminder that JD Vance is the lapdog of Peter Thiel, a multi billionaire tech bro whose ideology involves the complete removal of democracy, in favour of a technocracy.

This is your reminder that Vance was linked to Georgescu in Romania who was arrested for collusion with Russia.

This is your reminder that Nathan Gill, Reform’s leader in Wales, was jailed for ten years for taking Russian bribes.

This is your reminder that the British frontman for MAGA is Nigel Farage.

This is your reminder that the US government has fallen to authoritarian far right extremism and is openly engaging in foreign interference.

This is your warning that tech billionaires are the only dangerous minority that anybody who calls themselves a patriot should be concerned about.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

A few weeks ago, our UK media and Nigel Farage were clamouring to 'Get Starmer Out'.

Remember that? They were using it as their slogan for Matt GPT's disastrous by-election campaign. They claimed that it was a 'referendum on Starmer's leadership'.

It didn't quite go to plan. Starmer outplayed them all on that occasion.

Here's something that we need to remember though, when JD Vance came to the UK in July of 2025, he held a series of meetings in the Cotswolds with some British politicians.

Nigel Farage.
Robert Jenrick [Tory then, Reform now].
Danny Kruger [Tory then, Reform now].
James Orr [Tory then, Reform now].

Donald Trump is a destabilising force, but I don't really think he knows why. 😵‍💫

JD Vance is far more malign. He is wrapped, head-to-toe, in the Christian Nationalism/Project 2025 movement that Farage et al. are desperately trying to bring to our shores.

Reform will lose the Makerfield by-election, they picked a lame, three-legged donkey to run the Grand National. But they started this campaign the same as the last 'Get Starmer Out', before suddenly dropping it as the realisation dawned.

OK, this has gone a bit higgledy-piggledy, so what I'm trying to get to, is that any intervention by JD Vance in UK politics, is likely at the behest of Nigel Farage.

Farage is desperate, clawing at the floor while the daemon of scrutiny drags him backwards to the pitch dark basement of obscurity.

His only possible hope of survival is an early General Election, and to have that happen, he needs Starmer on the ropes.

Cue, JD Vance with a targetted intervention about:

migrants ✅
elites ✅
inciting anger ✅
Henry Nowak ✅
death of our civilization [sic] ✅

A tirade worthy of only one man … Nigel Farage.

The man who has sought to weaponise this tragedy and incited rioting only five days ago. The man who has gone against Henry's father's own wish that the tragedy should not be used as a weapon of hatred.

Nigel Farage is a dangerous force with the backing of, probably, the next President of the USA. Both are trying to destabilise and turn our societies into fascist visions of the far-right.

Don't let them.

Have a lovely weekend. 😊

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.

They killed his mother too.

Sam was only 7 months old.

They murdered a mother. And her infant.
