I attend a public council meeting today in Gateshead. The now minority non Reform councillors all turned up dressed in rainbow colours and waved rainbow flags. It was a childish and performative.Reform councillors were respectful & firm about not using council money for Pride.

I found this moving account of someone at the Southampton vigil for Henry Nowak on Facebook: Last night a few people mentioned the 'Southampton Riots' and were surprised I was there. So let me clarify. I went to Southampton to show my respect for Henry, that his death wasn't in vain, and that knife crime and two tier policing needs to stop. I am not a 'grief tourist', a 'far right fascist' or a 'rioter'. What the media didn't show you, was that the initial 2000 people showed absolute respect. A minutes silence, the Lords prayer, a song. The only incitement was the police who tried to push us down the stairs twice to bait a reaction. Then we marched. People parked their cars and joined us. People came out of flats, houses and shops and joined us. Drivers bibbed their horns showing solidarity. Sikhs shook our hands apologising. (we know it's not their fault) When we passed the Gurdwawa there was silence and no chants. The march grew to about 5,000 people. We ALL CARE. This won't be shown on social media as it doesn't fit the narrative. The police tried to kettle us. Fire engines and ambulances sent up and down the road for no other reason than to remove us. At Belmont Road (where Henry died) we stayed 100m away from the location. The police were protecting the Digwa house. Where the father, charged with various knife offences (not charged with perverting justice or kidnap) and the brother charged with similar knife offences (but not perverting justice, kidnap and assualt) were happily watching TV. 1000 of us all got on one knee. We asked the police to join us. At this point there was no riot gear. They refused. They were asked please join us. They refused. I don't for one minute condone the riots or violence. I was stood on top of a high wall with two polish fellas. Out of the way. We could see from our vantage point the police donning riot gear behind the row of vehicles. At that point I and a friend from the IOW left and walked back. Then the riots, which we never saw, must have occurred. Please don't be blindsighted by the biased media. Please watch GB News. This isn't black v white. Many different ethnicities joined us and as mentioned Sikhs shook our hands. I never saw any race hate whatsoever. This isn't left v right. It's about the unlawful killing of a white man because he was white, because of knife crime and because the police are so scared to be called racist they prioritised lies and false claims of racism instead of an obvious desperate and dying young man. If you can't see that yet, then I really hope that that day will soon come. Thank you to the messages of support too. I will never ever change. I will always stand up for what I believe in. My integrity has been expensive, yet worth every penny. For those that missed this before, here is the silence observed perfectly by the 2000 at Southampton Police Station.. Thank you.

@gateshead I am in the public gallery for council meeting today.I am embarrassed to see all of the “non Reform” councils wearing Rainbow colours and flags. They need to concentrate on the fact that the area voted for new councillors and stop their childish dress-up resistance.
