The murder of Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa was a tradegy. The Sikh community has been quick to condemn his actions and not run away from the problem, like others.
Sikhs have high levels of employment, comparable with other British 🇬🇧 people. Especially in the professions.
They are 0.9% of the population but only 0.7% of the prison population.

@RobertJenrick Can we hope Reform would ensure crimes like this get real sentencing and finance, officials and prisons spaces would be available for sentences they actually deserve? I hope so and wish the next government would have the courage, decency and wherewithal for this.
@GoodwinMJ Positive discrimination and diversity equality & inclusion policies is unfair, lowers standards & quality, victimises those of higher merit, disgraces competition and demotivates, and treats the majority population with contempt because of their skin colour. Hence clearly racist.
@cillianblack@GoodwinMJ I know, but they still need to unite as a single political party because then there is a real prospect of policies and changes that this country is in dire need of.
Let’s nail this state lie once and for all. The government is NOT increasing defence spending by £270 billion during this parliament. It is a ludicrous claim.
Yet one Keir Starmer made to Parliament’s Liaison Committee in March: Labour, he said, will “spend £270 billion MORE (my emphasis) than we would otherwise have done on defence” in this Parliament.
Starmer has always been weak on facts and figures but even by his standards this is a massive porkie.
This is the truth: £270 billion is the total cumulative projected defence spending for the four financial years from 2025/26 up to and including 2028/29 lumped together.
It is NOT even the cumulative increase in defence spending during these years.
Nobody (except perhaps Gordon Brown) speaks about public spending in this way, unless the intention is massively to mislead.
By 28/29 defence spending is projected to be £13 billion a year more than at the start of the period. So not exactly £270 billion. But I guess if you’re going to lie you might as well make it a whopper.
@MagnusRanstorp So, what sorts of crimes do not have a significant impact on Sweden and why should their perpetrators be excused for criminals of foreign origin? Do they not need to demonstrate they are law abiding and worthy contributors to Sweden to get residence?
@readwithai@JewishChron I completely agree about the extreme racialised abuse. Every one of the perpetrators needs to be brought to justice and deportation made possible for most of them. Every single victim must be adequately supported.
