Please, If I am ever in a vegetative or comatose state these are my explicit wishes. After five years, in the event that my condition (cognitive or physical) has not & will not improve to the point that I can communicate otherwise, withdraw life support.
@willistortured1 and this is so bad for their genre, all this unnecessary beef just overshadows the music and keep separating fanbases that should work together to boost it, it's so sad and aggravating
Henry Nowak’s case is worse than you think - 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.
The judge in the case really fucked up. The sentencing tariff was too low. Nigel Farage actually has a good case either way. If he wins, he proves the judicial system bent, if he loses… he proves the judicial system bent. He has proven, by merit, the existence of that 2nd tier.
The East and South London girl skits aid in perpetuating racist stereotypes. As someone who actually works with and spends time with young people from both geographical locations I’m really not here for them and neither are the kids.
I called it. I opined the teenage r@pists would have a history of offending against girls. No one starts with r@pe. Just days before the r@pe, Hampshire Police were called - two of the boys assaulted two girls. One put his hands around the neck of a girl, the other put his hand up her skirt. One of the boys, who was 10 at the time, cornered a girl using his bike and said sexualized things to her. There’s more…one boy killed a duck, they’ve destroyed property and threatened people. This is likely just the tip of the iceberg. WATCH the video. Shout out to Sophie Wilkinson stellar reporting. Take action now:

They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.
He could have been the worst of the worst, it doesn’t fucking matter.
Remember that the next time that someone (who probably wouldn’t look like him) loses their life at the hands of the police and their actions. Today the accusation is racism, tomorrow theft.
I was just saying, we’ve said this for years. Henry Novak is one white face amongst a sea of Black faces.
We’ve said it time without number, even IF a crime has been committed, the police have a duty of care and the crime committed doesn’t negate that. “Oh he was”… “oh he did”.
Just a thought... there will be many black mothers tonight watching that footage of #Henrynovak dying while the cops coldly judged him to be the bad guy and they will say, "now you know how we have felt for years".....
That 'judgement bias' - which was sometimes wrong -is exactly why training was introduced to the police.
So what do we do now ... when police officers arrive on scene, see a white man and think, 'far-right racist' and instantly cast an Asian man as the 'victim'...?
How the hell do you unravel subconscious bias via DEI - which was originally well-intentioned?
And what role has the media & the PM played in creating stereotypes of "the far right" thereby demonising smartly dressed, young white men as the danger?
It doesn’t matter. The police failed, catastrophically mind you, in their duty of care. They acted contrary to the standards set and outside of their legal remit, resulting in the lack of acute emergency care of an individual that lost his life. Simple.
