Can’t remember cold rage or the Far Right rioting when Sarah Everard was killed by a police officer. As a matter of fact Nigel Farage insisted that her death shouldn’t be used to attack men or the police.
Two tier Farage
#FarageRiots#ChargeFarage
A certain group of people are treating the Nowak case as if DEI training caused a one-off failure. It wasn't a one-off. This is a pattern of officers not following basic duty of care, and it has nothing to do with diversity training.
Case 1: Stephen Reardon, July 2023. Arrested in St Austell, collapsed minutes into a police van journey. CCTV showed him having seizures and visibly trembling. The officer watching through the Perspex divide said he was "playing games". His name was called 63 times. No response. He spent 22 minutes on the van floor. Neither officer stopped to check on him despite both being first-aid trained. Found dead at the station. Both officers dismissed for gross misconduct.
Case 2: Jerome Cowan, December 2022. Found slumped in a Coventry library toilet, intoxicated, unable to stand or stay awake. Officers removed him from the cubicle and placed him on the floor. He stopped breathing. Died in hospital. The inquest found missed opportunities in the level of care that may have contributed to his death. The IOPC found failures to provide first aid and to treat him with dignity. Three constables and a PCSO now face gross misconduct proceedings.
Case 3: Man in St Erth, November 2022. Found drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station at 1am on a cold autumn night. Officers called an ambulance but left before it arrived. Didn't move him to shelter. Didn't cover him. Drove past at 2:20am without stopping. Returned at 5am to find him rain-soaked, then sat in their car rather than providing aid. His condition deteriorated. He died in hospital. Both officers dismissed.
Same failure every time. A person in distress needs help. Officers dismiss it, delay, or walk away. No first aid. No urgency. No basic human response. Not a single one of these cases involved DEI training as a factor.
The problem isn't a diversity course. The problem is a culture where officers treat vulnerable people in their care as an inconvenience. DEI is the scapegoat. The conduct is the issue.
I call BS.
The facts are these:
Henry Nowak told officers he'd been stabbed. He told them he couldn't breathe. An officer replied, “I don't think you have, mate”. They dragged him along the ground and handcuffed him. He died before anyone called an ambulance.
No DEI course teaches you to ignore a dying man. Officers have a duty to assess injured persons, call for medical assistance, and not take one party's word as gospel. They failed on all three.
This is incompetence repackaged as ideological victimhood. “DEI made us feel certain ways” shifts anger from officers who let a teenager die onto a culture-war target. That's their defence strategy.
Henry told them he was dying. They didn't listen. They didn't follow protocol. That's a conduct and skill problem, not a DEI problem.
Nigel Farage's work over the last 11 weeks broken down:
- Parliamentary votes registered (including on immigration): 0
- Violent racial divisions stoked: 1
Along with music, art, architecture, poetry, mathematics, and every other creative form of human expression, computer code is a language through which we may seek to glorify God and better understand His creation.
In the same way, large language models and other forms of artificial intelligence can be understood as new instruments of inquiry and expression. When used rightly, they become tools that assist us in learning, creating, discovering, and communicating truth. Like any technology, they are neither ends in themselves nor substitutes for human wisdom; rather, they are instruments that should remain ordered toward the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww
@Imogenlemon02@welshroots To keep it exclusive annual membership fees are not published, est. at £2.5k before minimum spend etc. Owner Mark Birley is also a donor to Farage’s causes including UKIP. Run by the establishment, for the establishment that hypocrite Farage says he hates. Man of the people 🤡
So Farage ran away from parliament after he was shamed by the PM.
Where did he run away to? To Oswald's in Mayfair, a private members club.
When will people wake up. He doesn’t represent you. He doesn’t understand you. He’s not like you. He’s using you.

Farage has achieved his goal — to return from his hiding place with such outrageous statements that he hopes the questions about his £5m donation are now forgotten.
The media are duly obliging by focusing on his racist dog whistles instead of his corruption.
Trumpian.
Good morning to the enlightened, please electrically share this through the feeds and letterboxes of all the simpletons that you know. They can't win. #Farage#FarageRiots
Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
🚨The BBC had just sunk to a new low.
On Newsnight last night, presenter Matt Chorley claimed Nigel Farage said people should respond to the murder of Henry Nowak with “white cold rage”.
Nigel DID NOT SAY THIS.
The insertion of the word “white” by the BBC is obviously designed to change the meaning completely.
It was no slip of the tongue, Chorley said it THREE TIMES.
He came prepared to defame Nigel and lie to the country.
This is disgusting from the BBC.
Why do they insist on spitting in the faces of the millions of Reform supporters who are forced to contribute to their salaries?
THE BBC MUST APOLOGISE IMMEDIATELY
Yep. It’s almost funny.
@RobKenyonReform never came to 1 meeting on Ashton Library. Me, cllrs and residents worked backsides off to save it.
In politics, berating ppl on socials doesn’t get stuff done.
He’s local, angry, but no plan to actually DO anything. Like @reformparty_uk
I saw a clip earlier about prominent media figures taking care over their words when talking about Henry Nowak and his murder.
Nigel Farage took exceptional care in what he said yesterday.
He, very deliberately, chose to incite the angry mob.
.@Nigel_Farage "Pure cold rage" you asked for it. You got it.
A 72-year-old Sikh pensioner had his head stamped on. Cheekbone shattered. Six teenagers arrested.
Your words have consequences. Your silence is complicity.
Happy now? 👑
