@MadonnaOfSasau @farzana_chaudry Millions? Do your research before advertising your ignorance. There are only half a million Sikhs in the UK.

Sikhs make up 0.88% of the UK population. How can they elect themselves into positions of power in Parliament?

There are 11 Sikh MPs in Parliament. None in Cabinet.

[George Shaw @ShawGeo]

@allnewsisbad @farzana_chaudry Only 10% of Sikhs are entitled to carry small kirpans, which cannot be used to stab, and are usually blunt. Many of those 10% choose not to.

But why not justify your racism by taking the tragedy involving one mentally ill Sikh boy, to try and besmirch an entire community?

[George Shaw @ShawGeo]

@mikejava85 It doesn’t fit the racist narrative.

[George Shaw @ShawGeo]

@msinghsagoo White people who commit atrocities are described as mentally ill.

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.

@Nigel_Farage Have you issued the threatened proceedings against @BackBrexitBen for the alleged £1m stitch up with #Boris.

Please sue the #BBC. Bankruptcy would suit you so well.

@Nigel_Farage How vile to use the tragic murder of #HenryNowak to stir up tension and racism, resulting in attacks on the police, ignoring pleas from the grieving family.

You could have been doing your paid job in Parliament taking part in the debate on this very issue.

[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.

Kirpan is not the issue !
Interesting stats on the UK prison population and the Kirpan for y’all:
Sikhs make up just 1% (607) of the total 87,334 UK prisoners (England & Wales). Out of those, the number convicted of ‘Violence Against the Person’ (VAP) remains very low.
To put that in perspective, there are around 30,500 total VAP inmates in the UK. Here is their religious breakdown (based on latest proportions):
• Christians: 44% (13,400)
• Atheist/None: 30% (9,150)
• Muslim: 18% (5,490)
• Buddhist: 2% (610)
• Jewish: 1% (305)
• Sikh: 1% (305)
• Hindu: 0.4% (120)
(Note: VAP includes everything from homicide to non-physical injury like stalking).
Even if we falsely assumed every single one of those 305 Sikh inmates used a Kirpan, they still only account for 1% of all violent offenders, and a microscopic 0.35% of the total prison population.
The data speaks for itself: statistically, the Kirpan is a non-issue!

@80_mcswan Just incarcerated will do nicely.

@Malcolm_Sillick @MariaBowtell Indeed. Those on the Unite The Kingdom march, the Arsenal FC parade and Essex car drivers are major culprits.

Please don’t use this platform for racist slurs.

[George Shaw @ShawGeo]

@MariaBowtell It was bad in the ‘50s and ‘60s when I was growing up. There was a big Keep Britain Tidy campaign. Litter begets litter. Cuts in local authority budgets, means more rubbish lying around for longer. People are less likely to litter clean streets. Junk food is the culprit.
