Johnson was never Churchill. He was always Napoleon. And he is surrounded by lying Squealers. This is the state of our government & politics today. Never been sadder at how right Orwell was. How tragic that they have been at helm during pandemic. So many lives lost & destroyed

Unfit to be an MP? Yes!

Let that sink in and never vote Reform

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Farage's Reform UK Ltd is now the best funded political party in the UK. Not from grass routes support or local branches but almost entirely by a couple of tax dodging, uncountable, unknown, shady crypto speculators.

[Miss Chief 🤨 @Midge1415]

I find it kind of astonishing that people who were enraged about police officers being attacked at Manchester Airport went to Southampton last night to erm….attack police officers 🤔

[Give Your Head A Wobble @GiveItAWobble1]

Is this an example of a two tier society? 👇🏽

[Mike Holden @MikeHolden42]

We know he's a racist shit. We know he deliberately raised a mob to riot this week.
We don't know what the £5m bribe paid for.
Can we try to find out please?

[Lance Lachlan ✌🏻 @lancelachlan]

GB News refuses to cover stories like this because they don’t fit its narrative.

A Falklands veteran was allegedly assaulted by far-right rioters in Southampton after asking them to stop using his front garden as a toilet.

If this had been committed by a group they regularly target, it would be headline news for days.

[HUMAN WA$TE @Dplanet]

🚨🇬🇧 Tommy Robinson stood outside Southampton police station, in front of an angry crowd, and dragged “Pakistani Muslims” and “race gangs” into the murder of Henry Nowak.

The man convicted of murdering Henry Nowak is Vickrum Digwa. A British Sikh man. He stabbed Henry five times with a 21cm blade and is serving life, with a minimum term of 21 years.

Not Pakistani. Not Muslim. Not a grooming gang. Not a “Pakistani Muslim race gang.”

So why bring “Pakistani Muslims” into it?

Because Robinson wasn’t explaining Henry’s murder. He was recruiting it into the grievance machine he already sells: grooming gangs, “two-tier policing,” white victimhood, and betrayal by the state.

He did not need the killer to be Pakistani or Muslim. He just needed the crowd to feel as if the same enemy was involved.

That's what he does. Take a specific tragedy. Strip out the facts. Replace them with the familiar villain. Then tell a crowd: “This is about race.”

There is a real scandal here. Henry Nowak was handcuffed as he lay stabbed, telling officers he couldn’t breathe, while the man who stabbed him was initially treated as the victim because he lied. That is horrifying. Hampshire Police have apologised. The IOPC is investigating. One officer has resigned. The Attorney General is reviewing the sentence.

Grant all of that. Henry was failed.

But Robinson did what he always does. He took a real failure and built a fake racial mythology on top of it.

He told the crowd white people are treated as “second-rate citizens” by police.

The actual data does not show that. It shows the opposite.

Black people in England and Wales are stopped and searched at nearly four times the white rate - almost five times if officer-observed ethnicity is included.

Black people are arrested at almost twice the white rate.

And in the context that matters most here - people dying after police restraint - INQUEST found Black people are seven times more likely than white people to die following the use of restraint by police.

The report is called I Can’t Breathe.

Robinson heard Henry’s dying words and tried to turn them into proof that white Britain is oppressed. The restraint-death data says the opposite.

Then he pointed the crowd at the killer’s brother, a man who has not been charged over Henry’s murder, told them he had seen him “walking the streets this morning,” and shouted: “Get that family out of Southampton.”

Minutes later, police were being pelted with bricks and bottles.

The Public Order Act 1986 makes it an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words intended, or likely, to stir up racial hatred. Whether this speech crosses that line is for the CPS, not me.

But let’s not pretend this is normal politics.

A false racial frame. A volatile crowd. A grieving family pleading for Henry’s death not to be used to create division. An uncharged man’s movements read out in public. A demand to drive a family out of Southampton. Then bricks flying at police.

That is exactly the territory that law was written for.

Henry Nowak was failed by the officers who cuffed him.

Now he is being exploited by a man who dragged the wrong racial enemy into the story because the truth was never the point.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Significant

The murder of a woman by a police officer appears to hold little overall value (or political manipulation)

However add in an ethnicity factor against a male then it is full on agenda based politics

[Politics In The U.K. @politixintheuk]

Smashed car windows. Bricks littering the streets. Families left clearing up the mess after a night of chaos in Southampton.
This wasn't done in Henry Nowak's name. Associating this destruction with Henry or his family's memory is an insult.
This was the work of Farage and his mob of thugs who seized the chance to riot while pretending to be the victims.

Well done @BBCNews @BBCPolitics for playing your part in the latest #FarageRiots
Platforming Reform all day across BBC output, Zia Yusuf, Matt Goodwin and clips of Farage.

@Ofcom @lisanandy you’re supposed to regulate the media. You’re failing us.

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.

Lets show them one.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.

Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.

It’s completely unforgivable.

[Candice Holmes @hol40900]

#GoodMorning. ☕
Farage booed for exploiting a dead teenager. Three hours later? Swanky club. Champagne.
"Pure cold rage" for the cameras. Pure hypocrisy for his wallet.
He doesn't want justice. He wants headlines. And you're still paying for his security. 👑#r4today

[Zara Hussain @zarahussain999]

A British national living in Southampton had her car and property damaged. She said,

“I’ve never felt so unsafe in my house.”

She did not feel unsafe because of Sikhs, Muslims or migrants but because of other British nationals, a section of whom were far right.

Nigel Farage's work over the last 11 weeks broken down:

- Parliamentary votes registered (including on immigration): 0

- Violent racial divisions stoked: 1

[The News Agents @TheNewsAgents]

“Farage has gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement…

...before stepping back and saying, “I’m not suggesting you do anything. I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage”.

Farage has been likened to 'Tommy Robinson in a suit' - is there truth in it?
