Proud member of the mainstream media. I write an award-winning column for The Sun every Thursday. You’d love it.

He’s right. Found out they’re closing my old school this month. A small establishment in rural Derbyshire/Staffs border and one of the few schools to have a working farm (many farmers sent their kids there for that reason, the boarding facility helped with the difficulties of travel). It was not a hothouse for privileged kids but a calm place of learning, deeply connected to the local area and with outdoor activities at the heart of the curriculum. I fail to see how Britain is improved by its demise.

I’m sorry if this isn’t what some people want to hear but I do feel a cold rage about the vicious murder of Henry Nowak.

I often have issues with Nigel Farage but he was right when he suggested people should respond to this despicable case with “pure cold rage”.

I don’t think he was inciting violence.

The morons who threw bricks, attacked police and made Nazi salutes after the protest at Southampton police station would have done it regardless.

Thugs like that, who mostly think Farage is too soft, need no encouragement.

Those of us with pure cold rage, like many of those at Tuesday’s protest who made their point peacefully then left, have no wish to be violent.

Our rage is more controlled. It is cold. But also intense. The kind of powerful emotion we naturally feel when we watch highly distressing bodycam footage of a teenage boy brutally knifed, being handcuffed and left to bleed to death.

After all, what other reaction is appropriate on hearing that boy, Henry Nowak, telling police officers he had been stabbed and “can’t breathe” only for them to dismiss him, callously saying: “Don’t think you have, mate”?

What is the correct response on discovering the murderer’s lies were believed over the cries of his dying victim because he happened to be a different race?

@3MST Did they result in the victim being handcuffed as they lay dying while police officers at the scene dismissed their claims that they had been stabbed and could not breathe in order to prioritise a spurious complaint about racial abuse?

[Colin Robertson @Cod_Rob]

@3MST You don’t think I should have written about it?

[Colin Robertson @Cod_Rob]

@3MST And what narrative is that?

[Colin Robertson @Cod_Rob]

@3MST Read the whole piece. I feel cold rage about ALL victims knifed on our streets. I live in London and I'm sick and tired of seeing yellow signs everywhere about stabbings. Usually young people. As I say in the piece, every single one is an outrage.

@piersmorgan @KemiBadenoch It's nice to see Kemi smiling and coming across a human being. She's come a long way since her arrival as the head of a chaotic party that frankly everyone, including its own members, was sick of.

Cute little Duran Duran pun in @richardaeden column today…

@Michael11488679 You obviously haven’t read my article

Farage was right, we SHOULD feel 'pure cold rage' over Henry Nowak's murder https://t.co/f3q6ituzWt
