I am a medical doctor and I can say clearly: this is not good enough.
Henry Nowak was murdered and the police let him die.
When someone tells you they've been stabbed and are struggling to breathe, unless they pose an obvious risk to your own life, you make sure they are OK before you do anything else.
You don't pause to think about whether they might be racist, or whether they could be making it up.
There must be justice for Henry.
The CPS has decided to prosecute two white men for disorder and assaulting a police officer in Southampton, but also decided not to prosecute two brown men for disorder and assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport.
Thank goodness there's no two tier policing in the UK.
I genuinely can't fathom a mindset that watched the Henry Nowak video, and then thought 'let's ignore all that and have a pop at Farage instead'. Utterly disturbing.
It is not hateful to ask why a dying boy was disbelieved.
Why when he said he’d been stabbed, he can’t breathe, the police standing over him saw something else.
Very Sad to hear that Chelsea's all-time 2nd highest goalscorer, Bobby Tambling has passed away aged 84.
Bobby made made 370 appearances, scoring 202 goals for the blues between 1959-1970
RIP Bobby

🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔
Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir.
Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”.
“Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.”
Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police.
“No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.”
Why the blatant double standard, Keir?
Either rioting is bad or it isn’t?
You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak.
Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters?
Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.
This is obscene from Starmer, and the jeering, out of touch scumbags pushing us towards civil war.
He says there’s no two-tier policing, yet it’s there in black and white. The guidance is currently being reviewed precisely because it’s explicitly and deliberately two-tier.
His manipulative remarks about Henry’s father are also disgusting. Families are clearly told to add these incongruous political comments to their statements. We’ve seen it so many times now.
You can have total sympathy for Henry’s family, whilst pointing out that two-tier policing will cause more incidents like this, and will cause further unrest on the streets, just as night follows day.
These vile politicians think there is virtue in lying, grandstanding and ignoring the problems THEY have caused.
