@PatrickChristys There’s been a huge uptick in comments on our Instagram & tiktok content today from overseas viewers. Lots of comments saying ‘solidarity from X’ (typically America & Australia)

[Actually England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @ActuallyEng]

Do cases such as Vickrum Digwa’s murder of Henry Nowak warrant the return of the death penalty?

Here’s what one lady told us yesterday:

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST // THE MINUTE SILENCE //

You could hear a pin drop.

1000+ gathered peacefully and respectfully, honouring Henry’s life.

Good vibes. Lots of families. Lots of women and children. Communities. Mix of locals and travellers from afar.

What happens next? Lost for words.

Can we vote our way out of this?

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

What went through your mind when you saw the bodycam footage of Henry’s final 3 minutes?

It is the most unimaginable footage. We thank this gent for putting his thoughts and emotions into words.

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

This lady is here today as she is fed up of injustices, a ginormous tax burden, and the feeling that nobody is listening.

Do you feel truly heard?

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

This gentleman says Hampshire Police should be prosecuted, but won’t because the system is corrupt.

Do you agree? What should happen next?

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

This gentleman believes that Hampshire Police force must face consequences.

Do you agree?

[Actually England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @ActuallyEng]

@YoungBobRB It’s a shame a peaceful protest has descended into hooliganism.

Stay safe, be sensible chaps. Remember they’ll throw the book at any violent behaviour.

[Actually England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @ActuallyEng]

Thousands of good, decent and very concerned people gathered outside Southampton Central Police Station.

Local gentleman is here today to face off with Hampshire Police, insisting we can all see evidence of two-tier policing.

[Actually England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @ActuallyEng]

@EricLDaugh @Iannoshoes @UKSploosh It was genuinely good vibes until about 7:30pm and the march began towards Belmont Road, then the consumption of alcohol notable increased, emotions and tensions thus flared.

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

Local gentleman is here today to protest Hampshire Police’s two-tier response. Shortly after handcuffed Henry Nowak died face down in gravel, Hampshire Police took killer Vickrum Digwa for canteen dinner.

HENRY NOWAK 🚨 SOUTHAMPTON PROTEST VIEWS ON THE GROUND //

Local gentleman expresses his disgust at how differently Hampshire Police treated Henry Nowak from his killer Vickrum Digwa.

Southampton protest now moving to the site of Henry Nowak’s murder

[Jack Smillie @jackyapping]

I’ve just retraced Henry Nowak’s final journey in Southampton.

Here’s what I’ve found 👇

[Actually England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @ActuallyEng]

Digwa and Nowak met when Digwa mugged Nowak (presumably at knife point)

Let’s say for arguments sake that Nowak was slightly inebriated. That would make Digwa an even bigger monster, going after someone unable to defend themself.

Whichever way you argue @jeetsidhu_ your position gets more indefensible.

[Jack Smillie @jackyapping]

Digwa:
- Training with knife weapons since age 12
- Barred from a local temple for worrying behaviour
- Slept with an army of knives
- Described his knives with “loving terms”

His family and community knew he was a danger. They are all complicit. This should have been preventable.
