@HeadWarriorTWM Is it possible that men with fragile mental health who start taking oestrogen - or suddenly stop taking them after some months or more - could suffer a psychotic episode?

A Furore That Was Whipped Up. That Is What Alexis Boon Called It.

Henry Nowak died in handcuffs on a Southampton street. The Prime Minister said he felt sick watching the body cam footage. The Commons Speaker ordered the government to make a statement. The chief constable of the force responsible described the national outcry as a furore that had been whipped up.

Alexis Boon, chief constable of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, spoke publicly for the first time today. He apologised for his officers handcuffing and arresting Henry. He said Henry could not be saved. He said his force had been subjected to unfair criticism. He said he does not accept the term two tier policing and does not recognise it. He will not resign.

The University of Reading evaluated Hampshire's mandatory Inclusion Matters diversity course, completed by 6,250 officers and staff. The findings were published by the force itself. Nearly twenty percent of officers said they felt they would have been rejected for saying the wrong thing during the training. Nearly fifteen percent said that if they made a mistake it would have been held against them. Fifteen and a half percent felt controlled and pressured to be certain ways. The University noted that individuals who did not respond well to the course may benefit from further intervention, monitoring or coaching.

Read that final observation carefully. Officers who retained their own judgment during diversity training were to be monitored, further intervened upon and coached until they responded correctly. The training was not designed to inform. It was designed to condition. Hampshire's own commissioned research documents that conditioning precisely.

The Metropolitan Police has gone further. It commissioned HR consultant Shereen Daniels to write a structural review of systemic racism within the force titled 30 Patterns of Harm. The Metropolitan Police described it as a key document in its race action plan. In a section on neutrality Daniels writes that neutrality is not neutral. That it reflects dominant norms, particularly whiteness. That claiming neutrality is claiming distance from bias but that distance is not real. That neutrality is a myth. The Metropolitan Police told its officers they could not be neutral because of their whiteness.

Officers trained that neutrality is a myth, that their own whiteness prevents impartiality and that failing to respond well to diversity training would result in monitoring and coaching arrived at the scene where Henry Nowak lay dying. They were not neutral. They had been trained not to be.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said policing had been infected by an extremist ideology that calls itself anti-racism but is in fact racist itself because it urges ethnic minorities to be treated more leniently. He said the doctrine is enshrined as official police policy and in his view contributed to officers prioritising the allegation of racism above saving a young man's life.

That is the argument Alexis Boon refuses to engage with. He apologised for the handcuffs. He described the outcry as a furore. He said he would not resign. He did not address the Inclusion Matters course whose own evaluation shows officers were afraid to say the wrong thing. He did not address the neutrality document that told his officers their whiteness prevents impartiality. He did not address the training that the University of Reading documented and that his force commissioned.

Henry Nowak is not a furore. He is an eighteen year old boy who died in handcuffs on a Southampton street while his killer chose his food in a police kitchen. The furore is the appropriate response to that. The chief constable who cannot see the difference has not understood the question.

"Alexis Boon said his force had been subjected to unfair criticism. He said he does not accept the term two tier policing and does not recognise it. He will not resign."

@Alonso_GD @polarbear1066 @ukvillafan @grace_hawthorn @RumCoves As always the gender loons can't engage in real debate because they know that their position - that despite biology some people can be the opposite sex - leads to absurdity and an inescapable conflict of rights.

@NadiaWhittomeMP All data shows that single sex spaces are safer for women and girls Nadia. Work to make mens spaces safer for gnc people.

[Algy Pulls It Off @DoomedPoor]

@NadiaWhittomeMP Are there really men lurking in the Men's toilets waiting for a trans woman to appear so they can assault them? Seems a very niche activity.
Also Nadia, why do you show such concern for TWs but not for women and girls?

@fite_cs @Zeev81309558 @AntSpeaks @nuttyscot @BennettArron @GnasherJew I'd be more interested in a study of the kind of people who feel the need to invent weird compound words like "Zionazis" or "IsraeHell". It's oddly childish.

@DavidBerna10349 @SayNoToTerror7 @RoyKAltman He's obviously an unpleasant man, but ask yourself why you need to post blatant lies to support your position?

[Algy Pulls It Off @DoomedPoor]

@DavidBerna10349 @SayNoToTerror7 @RoyKAltman He is not an Israeli MP or government minister, he is the leader of a small political party that currently has no parliamentary representation.

@fite_cs @Zeev81309558 @AntSpeaks @nuttyscot @BennettArron @GnasherJew Unusual behaviour for 'genocidal fascists', huh? How do you account for it?

@fite_cs @Zeev81309558 @AntSpeaks @nuttyscot @BennettArron @GnasherJew When all the countries around you launch a sudden attack intended to exterminate you but you fight them off, as happened in 1948, you don't blame the ordinary people those countries said they represent but instead take them in and make them citizens.

Mark Nowak Said Sorry To His Son Today. He Had Nothing To Be Sorry For.

Henry Nowak told the officers nine times that he could not breathe and had been stabbed. One officer replied I don't think you have, mate. Henry was dragged across gravel, had his hands forced behind his back and was formally arrested for assault. His rights were read to him. That was the last thing he heard.

His killer Vickrum Digwa was never handcuffed. Not at the scene. Not during transport to the police station. Not at any point. While under arrest for Henry's murder, police took Digwa to the kitchen so he could choose his food. Digwa told the court this himself.

Mark Nowak stood outside Southampton Crown Court today and said what no father should ever have to say. That his son had not died with dignity. That he should not have died on the streets of Southampton in police custody. That his murderer was afforded decency. That he was believed. That the contrast was unbearable. Breaking down in tears he finished his statement with the words that will define this case. To my darling son who I love beyond words. I am so sorry I let this happen to you.

He had nothing to be sorry for. The institution that left his son to die while treating his killer with decency has something to answer for.

Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years. Judge William Mousley KC said Henry was defenceless when he was murdered. He said Digwa had shown callous disregard by filming Henry as he lay dying. He said he was certain Henry had said nothing racist. He told Digwa he had brought shame upon your family, your community and your religion. He noted that the privilege of carrying a ceremonial knife in public came with a huge responsibility. Digwa used that knife to stab an eighteen year old boy four times and then told the arriving officers that the boy had attacked him. The officers believed him. They did not believe Henry.

Keir Starmer posted on social media today that it is right that the IOPC is investigating the police response. The Prime Minister who said nothing four days ago when I first wrote about Henry. Whose party colleagues took the knee for George Floyd. Who has said nothing about the institutional conditioning that produced those officers' response. He found his voice today. After the verdict. After the sentencing. After the family's statement made silence politically impossible.

According to Henry's family some of the officers involved remain on duty. Others have resigned. The IOPC investigation continues. The family are calling on the Home Secretary to ensure the IOPC has the resources, authority and independence to conduct a full, fearless and transparent investigation. They said our family should not have to fight for the truth anymore.

They should not. A boy told officers nine times he could not breathe and had been stabbed. An officer said I don't think you have, mate. The killer was taken to choose his food. The victim was dragged across gravel and arrested. The training that produced that response has not been reviewed. The officers who applied it are still on duty. And the Prime Minister who stayed silent for four days has posted on social media that the watchdog investigation is right.

Henry's sister Olivia looked directly at Digwa in the dock and said if you had known Henry you would never have hurt him. My life will never be the same without my best friend. He was eighteen years old. He lit up every room he entered. He deserved better than every single thing that happened to him that night.
