You can absolutely be angry at the vile man who took Henry Nowak’s life and the police officers that attended the scene. The people out rioting on the streets in Southampton do not care about honouring Henry’s memory though, they are thugs who are looking for an excuse to be violent.
The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.
The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.
I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.
Funny how because I call out a politician for inciting violence you all make assumptions on my other beliefs. Then restort to personal insults rather than addressing the point raised, it really makes me wonder what happened to this country. To address some points raised in the comments:
Rape gangs should be investigated, Labour were wrong to block the enquiry.
BLM also incited violence and committed acts of violence.
Any immigrant that comes to this country illegally should be deported, with no right to return.
The police officers in this case need to be removed from their positions and put on trial.
But I’m still against politicians inciting violence. It should never happen, and never be normalised.
Yes I did. Funny how because I call out a politician for inciting violence you all make assumptions on my other beliefs. So I’ll help:
Rape gangs should be investigated, Labour were wrong to block the enquiry.
BLM also incited violence and committed acts of violence.
Any immigrant that comes to this country illegally should be deported.
The police officers in this case need to be removed from their positions and put on trial.
But I’m still against politicians inciting for violence.

@GeneralGoyslop@PolitlcsUK Implementation is another discussion, which needs to be well thought out. But you cannot ignore the fact something needs to be done with how widespread the problem is.
@PolitlcsUK@Telegraph Yet Reform UK says Robert Kenyon did vote for Brexit despite him claiming he didn't in 2019? Does anyone in that party actually know what’s going on with this candidate? Do they know what he even supports, and does he know what Reform supports?
I used to support these strikes, but enough is enough.
Our economy is struggling there isn’t endless money in the public purse, and people across every area of the public sector are suffering. Resident doctors have already had a 28.9% pay rise over the last three years after repeated strike action, the largest pay rises in the public sector, and now they are demanding even more. If the government doesn't say no, they'll just push again expecting the government to fold as they have every other time.
When they went into medicine the pay scales were public. They knew what they were walking into. They knew the training pathway, they knew the pressures, and they knew this was a route into one of the most secure and well paid careers in the country, with consultant basic pay now starting at around £109,000 and rising to around £145,000 in England. At this point repeatedly walking out is putting patients in A&E at risk, putting people on waiting lists at risk, and piling even more pressure onto an already broken NHS. This is no longer a fair pay campaign. It is turning into a money grab, and it is becoming indefensible.
He’s just doing a very Blair thing diagnosing Labour as too left/too timid/too anti business, then offering “Radical Centre” language that is compelling at 30,000 feet but much thinner when you ask how it survives contact with Parliament, unions, the public, the NHS, the benefits system, and actual delivery. Would be nice if he could offer something viable, rather than trying to drive a steak through the party.
Also a lot of it is still vague. “Whatever it takes” on small boats is not a policy. “Reimagined State” sounds impressive but needs mechanisms. “Mixing private and public provision” in healthcare is a massive political grenade and he does not spell out the safeguards.
