Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.

Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.

It’s completely unforgivable.

Also known as - Robert Kenyon’s miraculous Question Time escape.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.

It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.

A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.

At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.

Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.

On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

No, of course not.

Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

Yes, of course he was.

He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.

His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.

Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.

This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.

And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.

END RANT.

Horrific scenes of violence from Potswood tonight. Thugs, egged on by Nigel Farage’s divisive “pure cold rage” and fake claims of anti-white policing have literally run riot

Henry Nowak’s family were clear: they did not want his death exploited this way.

#FarageRiots .Again.

Water is not a commodity. It is a birthright. It belongs to the earth, to other species, and to future generations. No corporation has the right to control it.

Black people are
9 times more likely to be stopped & 7 times more likely to die following police restraint
Twice as likely to be arrested on SAME EVIDENCE
There have been 800+UK Chief Constables,1 was Black
There is a Race issue in Policing & it ain’t the one being protested over

[Dilly Hussain @DillyHussain88]

3-7 years in prison for a viral X moment.

Tommy will be in Spain on a private jet.

Farage will be pocketing millions from billionaires.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Literal Nazis rioting in Southampton.

These are our 'patriots'!

People who value white British lives so much that they celebrate a German regime which killed hundreds of thousands of Brits.

Including over 600 killed in Southampton by Nazi bombs.

Outsourcing is a racket.
Outsourced workers across Britain are facing low pay, insecurity and impossible working conditions — while private companies profit.

[Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

Farage could have been in Parliament today, doing his job, and ask any question he wanted of the Home Secretary about the tragic Henry Novak case.
Where was he?
Instead he hides behind pre-recorded rage-bait videos. Coward.

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

'All 55 miners charged with riot at the Battle of Orgreave were found innocent. The cases completely collapsed in court in 1985 after it was revealed that the South Yorkshire Police had fabricated statements, committed perjury, and presented discredited evidence.' All credit to Michael Mansfield KC & Gareth Pierce. @Miners_Strike @DurhamMiners

[Prof Colin Talbot (rerum cognoscere causas) @colinrtalbot]

If this isn’t incitement to violence I’m not sure what is?

And btw the Judge said quite clearly the victim would have died whatever the Police did. So no, he wasn’t “murdered by racist police”. They behaved badly, but they didn’t murder him.

[Florence Lox 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @floboflo]

Most of these poor twats are going to be arrested.
Farage will be at home drinking expensive wine, counting his money and chuckling to himself.
This is the two-tier society we actually live in.

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

It seems Farage didn't bother to attend the Commons debate today on the death of Henry Nowak. He would rather commit online hate crime instead.

[Paul Scholes @misterp55]

Worth repeating

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

It's an outrageous smear to suggest @hasanthehun should be banned from the UK for antisemitism.

Here's his speech last year denouncing the evil of anti-Jewish racism.

This is about suppressing voices who oppose Israel's genocide.

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer.

Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".
