they’re going after Sikhs now

[Stuzi 🐝🐝 @stuzi_pants]

Nazi salutes, scrapping with each other, throwing rocks at police and at local residents’ houses and cars
Here’s Nigel Farage’s wet dream being played out in real time
The scum of it
Tommy Robinson didn’t even respect Henry Nowak’s minute’s silence ffs

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”
Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs

@Get_Labour_Out @skp3785 @TheMotivorMB I was testing it to see if it’s worth it. Frankly speaking, it’s not.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

For anyone who wants to discuss the stabbing of Henry Nowak in Southampton, the Sikh community, kirpans, UK knife laws, or related issues you’re welcome to reply below.

I’m happy to engage with respectful disagreements, questions, and evidence based points. All views welcome.

@BareLeft The easiest way to spot a grift is when the principles keep changing but the outrage stays exactly the same.

@TheHughAnthony What a bizarre collection of half-truths and myths.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@nw_nicholas Constantly pouring petrol on community tensions while pretending you’re the voice of reason should probably attract a bit more scrutiny.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

Every political tribe thinks history is about to prove them right and their opponents wrong. Reality tends to be a bit messier than that. #farageriots

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@ThatAlexWoman Also, the older I get, the less I believe in political messiahs. No one person is coming to save the country.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@ThatAlexWoman People on the right think Farage is bursting a bubble. People on the left think he’s selling one. That’s politics.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@anainsin @LBC @IainDale That’s certainly one way to demonstrate you’ve understood neither the purpose of a kirpan nor why the exemption exists.

[blondehun @blondehunx]

ill be honest im 27 and didnt know until last few days it was legal to carry a kirpan and thats because theyve been doing so peacefully and they should be allowed to carry on doing so

[Jim Robbins @jimrobbins]

Really sad to see the comments being thrown around about the Sikh community today.

In my experience, the Sikh community are kind people, active members of their communities and always make people hugely welcome at their Gurdwaras, regardless of their background or faith.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@Parody_PM Almost like words have consequences after all.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@lil_doza This was never really about justice or Henry. It was about finding a group to blame.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@gingerrtom When someone asks for their son’s death not to be used to divide people and that’s ignored anyway, it’s hard not to question people’s motives.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@davidcollinscv4 The media thrives on outrage and division because it gets attention.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Nigel Farage asked people to respond with "pure cold rage” today.

Here you go, Nigel.

Looks a lot like incitement.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@LBC It’s always the same script: find a tragedy, inflame emotions, claim the country is under attack, repeat.

[not gonna lie @skera28]

@EjaakSujuran The kirpan isn’t a relic of prehistoric times. It’s a religious article carried by a tiny minority of people who, overwhelmingly, never cause any problems.
