Dear Chief Constable,
I am writing to raise my concerns following the release of the distressing police bodycam footage from the murder of Henry Nowak. Many of my constituents have written to me over recent days to share their concerns and upset around Henry's tragic death and the nature of policing today.
I understand many police officers act with courage and integrity and take their responsibilities very seriously. I also recognise the significant pressures they face and the complex circumstances in which police officers must work. However, there has been a significant increase in concerns around two-tier policing over recent years.
My constituents are justifiably concerned that certain groups of people are being treated differently by police officers solely because of their race, ethnicity, or religion. This is not just about maintaining public confidence, it is about equality before the law. I, along with many others, have read about the DEI training provided to police officers and have seen the reports of police officers feeling controlled or pressured to act and feel in certain ways having received such race-based training. Police officers should be empowered to use their common sense when making decisions without self-doubt or fear that they might face baseless accusations of racism and discrimination.
Any functioning democracy must ensure the law is enforced fairly and consistently. It is the responsibility of those at the very top to ensure that their police officers are equipped to serve with complete impartiality and professionalism in the line of duty.
Please could you clarify how the national Police Race Action Plan has been implemented within Nottinghamshire Police and what other DEI training has been delivered to police officers since the introduction of the Police Race Action Plan.
I would also be grateful if you could outline what steps you are taking to ensure all members of the public are treated equally, regardless of their race or religion, when engaging with the police force in Nottinghamshire.
At a time when people are increasingly scared to let their sons and daughters go out the house and enjoy themselves, our police officers need to focus on making our streets safe. Our priorities should be that simple. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Lee Anderson MP
Imagine living in a country where JD Vance appears more concerned about the fears and frustrations of ordinary British people than the Prime Minister.
The anger over Henry Nowak's death and wider concerns about free speech aren't just being discussed in Britain anymore, they're being noticed around the world.
People are watching. People are speaking up.
It's good to know we're not alone.
@FamersDog Definitely the pigs all departing and all the memories of their time there. Don’t mind admitting I was in floods especially also seeing how upset Jeremy was too.
The hypocrisy over Reform's comments on the Henry Nowak murder is nauseating. Labour & LibDem MPs (and a bunch of confused Tories trying to have it both ways) are hyperventilating that Nigel said he feels 'rage' about the two-tier policing on display, as if reflecting public anger is somehow illegitimate; meanwhile they are doing exactly what they accuse us of, namely using the tragedy to score political points.
Reform is doing what politicians should - pointing out how an individual situation reflects a general problem, and making suggestions to meet it. Our opponents all did exactly that (including proclaiming their anger, rage etc - no 'calm', 'be responsible' guff then) over George Floyd, a case rather beyond our jurisdiction - when it's a British boy saying 'I can't breathe' as he lies dying on a British street, it's an occasion to attack Nigel Farage and talk about police racism.
This is why the British Left has lost the people. If the government continues to be run by the agents of mass migration and the instigators of two-tier policing we will have a REAL far-right revolt, and that will not be pretty.
Imagine being angrier at Nigel Farage today than at the proven fact that the police hierarchy treats white people worse than other ethnicities or groups.
He’s speaking for us.
We are angry, we are raging, we have had enough... we demand change.
We do not condone violence, neither does Nigel.
@DavidLammy So to all the white men that could also get prostate cancer, you are clearly saying they don’t matter. Now we also have a 2 tier NHS it would seem.
🚨 NEW: Reform UK has pledged to pass an "Equal Treatment Act" within the first 100 days of Government
It would ban Police Race Action Plans, DEI practices and end the exemption for Sikhs to carry large bladed weapons
