The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.
It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.
Obviously I don’t want to feel angry about the death of a boy as that would make me the tool of the far-right, so it would be helpful if the Government could tell me how I should feel. Annoyed? Irritated? Mildly anxious?
MPs have signed off their own bumper 5% pay hike and expenses boost despite Treasury warnings that the move was "unjustified" and would be rejected for a Government department. https://t.co/nRZh0Eawry
@PaulEmbery Politics is the business of running our country. Sometimes an event such as a murder shows it is being run badly and needs to change. It becomes, necessarily, political.
Everyone who agrees two tier policing exists and is a problem should be working together to end it. Instead you have people joining forces with the Establishment to virtue signal about Farage's comments to score political points. Pathetic.
Britain now has fastest rising unemployment in #g7 job vacancies for young workers halved, growth forecasts for 2027 downgraded. Welcome to @Keir_Starmer Welfare Britain
I found this moving account of someone at the Southampton vigil for Henry Nowak on Facebook:
Last night a few people mentioned the 'Southampton Riots' and were surprised I was there. So let me clarify.
I went to Southampton to show my respect for Henry, that his death wasn't in vain, and that knife crime and two tier policing needs to stop.
I am not a 'grief tourist', a 'far right fascist' or a 'rioter'.
What the media didn't show you, was that the initial 2000 people showed absolute respect. A minutes silence, the Lords prayer, a song.
The only incitement was the police who tried to push us down the stairs twice to bait a reaction.
Then we marched. People parked their cars and joined us. People came out of flats, houses and shops and joined us. Drivers bibbed their horns showing solidarity. Sikhs shook our hands apologising. (we know it's not their fault) When we passed the Gurdwawa there was silence and no chants. The march grew to about 5,000 people. We ALL CARE. This won't be shown on social media as it doesn't fit the narrative.
The police tried to kettle us. Fire engines and ambulances sent up and down the road for no other reason than to remove us.
At Belmont Road (where Henry died) we stayed 100m away from the location. The police were protecting the Digwa house. Where the father, charged with various knife offences (not charged with perverting justice or kidnap) and the brother charged with similar knife offences (but not perverting justice, kidnap and assualt) were happily watching TV. 1000 of us all got on one knee. We asked the police to join us. At this point there was no riot gear. They refused. They were asked please join us. They refused.
I don't for one minute condone the riots or violence. I was stood on top of a high wall with two polish fellas. Out of the way. We could see from our vantage point the police donning riot gear behind the row of vehicles.
At that point I and a friend from the IOW left and walked back. Then the riots, which we never saw, must have occurred.
Please don't be blindsighted by the biased media. Please watch GB News.
This isn't black v white. Many different ethnicities joined us and as mentioned Sikhs shook our hands. I never saw any race hate whatsoever.
This isn't left v right.
It's about the unlawful killing of a white man because he was white, because of knife crime and because the police are so scared to be called racist they prioritised lies and false claims of racism instead of an obvious desperate and dying young man.
If you can't see that yet, then I really hope that that day will soon come.
Thank you to the messages of support too.
I will never ever change. I will always stand up for what I believe in. My integrity has been expensive, yet worth every penny.
For those that missed this before, here is the silence observed perfectly by the 2000 at Southampton Police Station..
Thank you.
Spoke about this yesterday in an interview with Steven Edginton. Recall also that they put Into the kings speech that too many black men are being detained under the mental health act. Almost unbelievably this was AFTER the calocane killings
I’ll leave you with a Happy Ramadan from West Yorkshire Police handing out dates to the community in Bradford.
This is actually a real police sergeant.
Money well spent 🤦🏻♀️
