@RobKenyonReform Useful context from someone who sat through the whole trial and heard every piece of evidence.

The Judge.

Part of his Sentencing Summary:

(Anybody read this?) 🤷‍♂️

[The Receipts UK ♿ @david_hollas]

Nigel Farage claims the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary Race Action Plan, and the College of Policing anti-racism commitment, instruct police to treat ethnic minorities preferentially over white people. Let's look at what the documents actually say.
The Hampshire Race Action Plan 2024 to 2026 states: "We will put victims first ensuring that our services and response are accessible to all." It commits to policing "with empathy and due regard for the impact on individuals and communities." It says nothing about treating white victims less favourably. Nothing. It does not exist in the text.
What it does say is that ethnic minority communities are disproportionately underreporting crime and receiving worse outcomes as victims. Addressing that gap is not preferential treatment. It is equal treatment.
On the College of Policing document, Farage cites the line stating anti-racism "does not mean treating everyone the same or being colour blind." He presents this as instructing police to treat white people differently. Here is the full sentence in context: "Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences, with the aim of reducing harm."
That is the equity versus equality distinction. If one employee needs a different chair due to a medical condition, providing it is not preferential treatment. It is equal treatment applied to unequal circumstances.
Notably, the government's own Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the language in the document "gives the wrong impression" and backed a review. That is a legitimate criticism of the wording. It is not evidence that police were instructed to let white people die.
Farage knows what these documents say. He is misrepresenting them to a national audience while 11 police officers recover from injuries sustained during disorder he helped to incite.
Henry Nowak's father asked that his son's death not be used to create further division, hatred or tension.

@alfamito155 @TheMooseOfTruth Have you read this Justin? 👇

Part of the ACTUAL Judge’s (ON THE ACTUAL CASE) Sentencing Summary….

He sat through ALL THE EVIDENCE.

The facts are important.

Pay particular attention to the first sentence, paragraph 27…..

And the word “honestly.”

Context is everything.

[Monster Of Truth @TheMooseOfTruth]

Every leader stood to ask their question but first expressed their sympathy with not only the Novak family but also with news of the Royal Navy helicopter crash amongst other incidents…

But not Farage. He just couldn’t wait to grab the limelight.

@BunnySainsbury @topfotogmw @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer 2 US First Amendment Protections

In the US, the legal standard for restricting public commentary is v different.

The UK concept of sub judice does not exist.

Public figures, media outlets, & international observers are legally free to comment extensively on active cases.

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@BunnySainsbury @topfotogmw @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer Geography!

The sub judice rule in English law (governed primarily by the Contempt of Court Act 1981) only applies to proceedings active within United Kingdom courts.

The criminal prosecution of Derek Chauvin was in the state court of Minnesota, United States.

1/2

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@TezzaLap @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer The Police submitted evidence & therefore the “police response” WAS covered by sub judice.

You also should read the Judge’s Sentencing Summary for this case to understand the intrinsic role of the Police and the actual context.

These are the real facts.

Here you go:

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@jack_sprat74 @1980sViceSquad Really sad that you’ve felt the need to use the word “might” and not simply accepted the facts.

🤷‍♂️

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@topfotogmw @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer He didn’t break sub judice.

Starmer stayed well within legal boundaries because:

1 No Names or Specific Cases were mentioned

2 No Accusations of Guilt on Active Charges were mentioned

3 Guilty Pleas were Fast-Tracked

Go and check!

Prove me wrong.

Starmer knows the Law!

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@TezzaLap @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer No.

Starmer didn’t mention the crime until the sub judice period ended.

This was covered and explained in the House of Commons on the 2nd June.

This is the Law in the UK.

See note below.

Pay particular attention to the last sentence please. It explains why.

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@DeeEm67710085 @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer Such as?

During the sub judice period, public figures—especially a Prime Minister who is also a former Director of Public Prosecutions—must tread incredibly carefully.

Note: The PM “especially!”

So, what exactly did you expect him to say during the sub judice period?

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@ZiaYusufUK The “dirty & grubby politics” of Reform does obviously NOT equate to the people voting for Reform being “dirty & grubby.”

That’s your “dirty & grubby” interpretation!

Which, somewhat ironically, proves this point. 🤷‍♂️

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

What a difference 48 hours makes.

Even I was stunned at the progress Skye made today ❤️

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@TezzaLap @thecarolemalone @Keir_Starmer I’m sorry???!!!

“He’s using them to attack Farage who’s been talking abt Henry’s murder for weeks.Starmer, until the verdict, had been silent.”

What was “the crime” then?

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@jack_sprat74 @1980sViceSquad Here.👇See below.

Personal note from one of the “Police Officers” WRONGLY ACCUSED in the note above (which has now been deleted.)

She actually LEFT the Police Force in 2024!

Hopefully that’s good enough even for you!

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@TiceRichard Are you mad?

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

Got sent new bandanas for the senior gang. Thought it would be lovely to get a group shot of all 7.

Only Rocky and Biscotti really understood the brief… (1/3)

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

This is the difference this Labour government is making.

Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.

An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

[Strimmer Smith @strimmer01]

@Jon555648 @jessalinecaine Glad you liked it.

Need to keep reminding people.
