      https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-9399015/Scottish-judge-rules-Nicola-Sturgeons-church-ban-unlawful.html
      (24 March 2021)

      The SNP’s church ban during lockdown has been deemed unlawful after 27 clerics launched a judicial review.

      A judge ruled that Nicola Sturgeon’s criminalisation of worship was unconstitutional, disproportionate and infringed on human rights.

      Judge Lord Braid told Edinburgh’s Court of Session that ‘it was impossible to measure the effect of those restrictions on those who hold religious beliefs.’

      Sturgeon sure got upbraided …”

      Whilst we should never condone violence, anyone arrested for legitimately protesting against the State-enabled death of Henry Nowak should be regarded a political prisoner. Take heart from the likes of Solzhenitsyn in the Soviet Union and Václav Havel in communist Czechoslovakia: eventually liberation and freedom will be achieved.

      No doubt the media will focus on the most violent protestors with their usual ‘look, elephant’ trick as they did for Southport and the w*nker in No.10 will use them to express his hatred of the Right again and create even more division.

      The police at the scene are the target for the idiots on social media – but they are not the problem at all. The reason they behaved like that is the institutional anti-white racism which has been baked into the police by the ‘progressive’ Left. It started when careers were over for even the smallest hint of racism against BAME. But everyone is free to be as racist as they like against whites without any risk. As the BBC prove on an almost daily basis.

      Those coppers knew that if the murderer accused them of racism, all the racist Leftists like ‘hope not hate’ and the BBC would blow it out of all proportion and their own career would be over. So they choose to side with the BAME.

      It was just unlucky for them that Nowak died – otherwise we would never have even heard about it. The BBC would most certainly have not reported it on the main news page. This exact same thing will be happening every day across the country.

      This is what the cancer of the Left inevitably leads to. The consequences are now breaking through the surface and people are finally waking up to the reality of this extremist ideology. About 10 years too late – as I’ve observed it always is for these things.

      Lets say we get a proper revolution and the Left are banished like we did to Hitler. Their ideological intolerance is no different despite what the academics try to say. Anyone who disagrees must be silenced. Their behaviour has changed because society has changed but the motivating force behind them is just the same. Once they are stopped and a couple of generations pass, the people with that mindset will do it all again.

      Whoever first said ‘History repeats itself’ had great insight into human nature. It happens because people cannot change. Will will always be split between ‘Left’ and ‘Right’.

        vlad, it’s happened already and predictably the BBC are now pushing that as the main narrative:

        Henry Nowak arrest footage raises ‘serious questions for police’, PM says
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq8pn9ng5zlo

        The murder itself gets one short paragraph. Then the agenda starts:
        ‘Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described the unrest as “completely unacceptable”.
        She said the Nowak family had made a “powerful call” on Monday to “not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension”.
        “There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder,” she added.’

        ‘Earlier, Mahmood called out a “dangerous undercurrent” in the wake of the killing, which she said was leading to threats.
        A police officer was “forced to relocate to protect himself and his family” after being wrongly identified online as being involved in the case, she said.”

        ‘Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, himself a Sikh, accused Reform UK and other parties of deciding to “scapegoat” the Sikh community “based on the actions of one violent murderer.”‘

        ‘On Tuesday evening, riot police clashed with protesters who had gathered near the scene of the murder.
        The protest was promoted by far-right figure Tommy Robinson.’

        ‘In her address, Mahmood said she “echoed” the comments of the prosecutor in the case, who said: “This is not a case about Sikhism, this is not a case about racism, this is a case about murder.”‘

        No Mahood. It’s nothing to do with a murder. It’s about the mass importing of cultures who commit this kind of murder FAR more frequently than white people do and the anti-white racism of our police when dealing with it.

        And of course the BBC include this:
        ‘Judge William Mousley KC said that no matter how quickly Nowak had received “first aid, CPR or expert medical treatment”, he would not have survived because of the nature of his injuries.’

        An utterly appalling and irrelevant statement to keep repeating as a form of defence. He wasn’t dead when they did that to him and they had no idea it was fatal.

    Let’s not be angry, let’s not let this divide us, it’s not about race. If you talk about it you’re a racist. The irony of that is it is that very attitude, the dishonesty about race and the attempts to downplay events, that led to the shameful reactions of the police

    All those who tried to tear the world apart on behalf of a violent, drug addicted criminal thug and even took the knee out of respect for him now demand we must shut up and go away and not speak of the racist murder of Henry Nowak and the police’s own racist behaviour as they gave priority to a false allegation of racism over the fairly obvious evidence that a man was dying in front of them.

    Henry Nowak’s last dying moment was that he was being arrested for racism and the last words he heard were his, so-called, rights being read to him.

    The BBC et al are quick to claim the Nowak family doesn’t want you to get angry and yet Henry Nowak’s father’s statement was quite clearly a very dignified but very angry blast at the police.

    ‘In response, Mahmood says this is not a moment to pit “white Britons against non-white Britons”, and it would be inappropriate to pre-empt the outcome of the watchdog investigation.’

    Our Home Secretary comes out and denounces those who dare to raise questions about these events…they are dangerously divisive…and there is no such thing as ‘collective punishment’ in the UK….we cannot blame the whole Sikh community…er…who does that?
    However, of course, it is quite OK to demonise the whole White population as inherently evil and blame them for past sins that happened hundreds of years ago such as slavery…which of course was not a ‘white’ sin alone.

    This is, naturally, why the likes of the BBC want to downplay, not only who killed him, but the way the police reacted.
    This was a racist killing…an Asian decided to kill a white man and thought he could play the race card to get away with, literally, murder. The police reacted in the way they did because as an institution they have been browbeaten by activists in conjunction with hardcore lefty media like the BBC into accepting they are ‘institutionally racist’…the result of which is that every officer is terrified of being labelled racist by the likes of the BBC….the BBC that was quite happy to have the mother of a black man legitimately shot by police come on repeatedly and claim the police executed him or assassinated him.

    The BBC is knee-deep in this…the pressure they put on institutions like the police to ‘take the knee’ with the threat of otherwise being denounced as racist generates a corruption of the system and ends in cases where a man is arrested, handcuffed and accused of racism as he lay dying on the ground….not before being unceremoniously dragged across that ground by officers by his legs.

    The BBC is happy to promote the idea that Farage is whipping up unrighteous anger and is causing divisions and hate….whereas of course he is making very cogent points and expressing, quite rightly, the anger that should be directed, not just at the police, but at all those, like the BBC, who shape the social and political climate that ends with a case like Henry Nowak’s.
    The Nagger wheeled in a Sikh campaigner…which seemed a bit incongruous..but all was clear as he attacked Reform and went on to claim that although there was racism the stabbing was a completely disproportionate response…..The Nagger didn’t say a a word…not a word of challenge…because of course there was no racism, Henry Nowak didn’t make any racist comments…this was a lie made up by his attacker. Nice though that the BBC now promotes that lie.

    The BBC back on the climate campaign trail as the Nagger wheels in Justin Rowlatt to hype up the alarm about El Niño and a burning world…Rowlatt demands ‘we must do something’…he is blatantly campaigning and not reporting as well as doing his best to terrify people with scary tales and frightening myths.

    Immediately following his apocalyptic trumpeting we had another alarmist wheeled in to tell us a warming climate will kill us all due to warm weather generating ‘new’ viruses such as the Hantavirus….we get more grass and plant life in which hides more rodents who get into houses and spread diseases.
    This was trash ‘science’….various Hantaviruses have been around for a very long time and the one in South America was not new…and definitely was not the result of warmer weather.
    The BBC is a shameless propagandist and corrupt broadcaster spreading alarmist lies in order to terrify us into compliance.

      Ebola virus re-emerges in Africa.

      How would I stop the spread? Ban flights from the epicentre.

      We don’t learn. When covid originated, the whole world knew where it originated, but the government would rather let planeloads in from China than appear racist.

      To be a senior police officer requires a degree, maybe psychology or similar, not a foundation in pounding the streets, but being a whiz with the media, not searching the usual suspects and bending the knee. Wait until Notting Hill, next bank holiday for unchecked mugging, stabbing, drug dealing and sexual violence.

    AI’s take on the BBC reporting of what Farage said:

    Omission of the Explanatory “Why”
    When the BBC highlights the phrase “pure cold rage,” the crucial context of what prompted that rage is often compressed or placed at the bottom of the article.
    The Distortion: Without explicitly stating in the headline or opening paragraphs that Farage was reacting to footage of a victim pleading “I can’t breathe” while officers told him “I don’t think you’ve been stabbed mate,” the “rage” is framed as unprovoked, irrational, or malicious.
    The Intent: Media critics argue this omission is designed to paint Farage as a dangerous agitator looking for an excuse to stir up street violence, rather than a politician expressing public anger over a visible injustice.

    Amplifying Condemnation Without Equal Challenge
    The BBC extensively quotes Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other critics accusing Farage of “hijacking a tragedy” and “creating division,” while giving far less weight to the evidence Farage brings forward regarding police training.
    The Distortion: By framing the story around the political backlash, the BBC validates the establishment narrative that Farage is acting in bad faith.
    The Intent: Critics argue this creates a false consensus. It signals to the reader that Farage’s views are beyond the pale of civilized debate, subtly directing public disapproval toward him while bypassing a rigorous look at the “two-tier policing” claims.

    Weaponising the Family’s Grief
    The BBC frequently uses statements from Henry Nowak’s father—who called for calm—as a shield to delegitimize Farage’s political points.
    The Distortion: The broadcaster frames the situation as a direct choice: you either support the grieving family’s dignity, or you support Farage’s “divisive” politics.
    The Intent: Critics argue this is a manipulative framing trick. It implies that anyone angry about the institutional police failure is acting against the family’s wishes, effectively using a family’s grief to shut down legitimate political accountability.

    And here is what it considers to tbe the extent of the BBC’s counter argument:

    They argue that when a public figure uses racially charged terms like “anti-white prejudice” during a period of civil tension, the political and social consequences of that language become the most urgent news story to report.

    Ultimately, whether you view this as a deliberate attempt to mislead depends on whether you believe the BBC’s primary duty is to objectively report the systemic police failures Farage is targeting, or to police the societal impact of his rhetoric.

    Once again, it sums it up perfectly my own thoughts on the matter. It preserves my sanity if nothing else.

    The bit about weaponising the families grief is very relevant : Starmer does it extensively and totally shamelessly in his response.

    He is a true top-drawer, first-class worthless piece of shit who was only elected because the Tories had been destroyed by the MSM with the BBC leading the charge. Once they managed to force a duly elected PM to resign by weakening him over the nonsense ‘Partygate’ so the worthless parasites like Javid thought they could take over, the BBC discovered they could almost remove ministers at will using the daily ‘live update’ headlines and leaks from civil servants (‘The BBC has learned …’) over a period of days or weeks.

    Today
    The BBC has its comfort blanket – ritual condemnation of those in Southampton who protested . I watched quite a bit and it looked restrained to me . Plod now being the enemy of white people – none were killed or seriously injured – which in the circumstances – gave them a ‘win ‘ . The sihk killers’ family home wasn’t even torched . Very British .

    The bbc reporter commentated that protesters appeared to know where they were going – maybe he hasn’t come across people who live in a place and know it . Plod didn’t get the opportunity to target Tommy Robinson .

    But as I say TTK / bbc now have their distractor from the horror killing of Henry Nowak ….

    A CURIOUS LACK OF CURIOSITY…..

    I am surprised that the BBC are seemingly a bit half hearted in their coverage of the massive SNP theft, fraud and deceit case , which apparently only has one participant….Peter Murrell, who I notice is described as ” The former , ex husband” of one time BBC favourite Nicola Mc Krankie. Unless I am very much mistaken they are still married, divorcing perhaps but not absolutely divorced.

    And….no BBC concern about the missing £260,000 of SNP donations that is still missing somewhere , somehow. ( only £400,000 covered in the Murrell indictment)

    Meanwhile BBC still focussed on the ” look squirrels” stuff only today it’s “look hedgehogs” on banknotes, a really big story BBC? and of course how awful they clearly think Mr Farage is , no doubt the Verify team are still chasing up details as to just how many babies Mr Farage eats for breakfast in any given week.

    Continuing on the Norwak case.
    The Daily T podcast with Tim Stanley and Camilla Tominey discussed his murder and the police and public reaction to it. If I were to place these two members of the commentariat on the left right political spectrum Stanley is right on most issues but unreliably so, Tominey is definitely right but a ToryGlobalist.

    Their conclusions were :
    The training of the police in anti racism and their prioritisation of it has gone way too far .
    This has created a police force in which its officers are so frightened of being called racist that they are unable to treat all people the same and minorities always are favoured over white people.

    So far I strongly agree but …

    They foresee that our society is slipping from being one that is multiracial with shared values , into one that is multicultural where each ethnic or cultural group vies for dominance and exploits the weaknesses of other groups. In this scenario the main task of the police and the judiciary will not be to administer the law without fear or favour but to try to keep the peace between ethnicities.

    Stanley , excruciatingly added that he believed that most ‘new Britons’ came here because they wanted to live in our free, liberal, law based society and wouldn’t want to see it lost ! Such nativity is seldom displayed in public.

    These two don’t seem to have noticed that we arrived at this point ten or twenty years ago and are now probably too far down the road to able to turn back without great pain. Nor do they seem to remember that Multiculturalism was one of the key policies of Blair .

    These two are on the right of the commentariat spectrum and yet the scales have only partially fallen from their eyes. Imagine how a BBC journalist is mentally processing this ?

    The seriousness of the situation which decades of mass migration has created hasn’t percolated through to these two let alone most of the population .

    Time is running out to save our country . Why have the English been asleep for thirty years? Was it the lullaby of the BBC?

      Double – long ago – probably 25 plus years ago I read a report about the future of policing by a great lady in the Home Office called Marion Fitzgerald .
      Even then she predicted that the future function of plod would be to act like UN peace keepers between various groups of imports .
      She wrongly assumed that plod would remain neutral – and police by consent . Well both those features are gone – as Henry Norwak shows .

      Yesterday – at the demo – Lawrence fox pointed at the Southampton police HQ saying ‘theres your enemy “ – and he wasn’t wrong .

      As you might spot – the prediction by Marion Fitzgerald – was made long before the invasion – it was just getting going then ….
      Anyway – as for the podcasters – they are part of the blob – they know their place in it – so they’ll stay within the ‘rules ‘ . The likes of Tommy Robinson or Lawrence fox – they are not part of the blob and reflect what ‘ordinary people ‘ think and believe … which make them a danger to the state / bbc and must be diminished – cancelled – destroyed – lawfare – police oppression- all those weapons ….

      Just listened to Spectator TV discussion of the Nowak case between editor Gove and reporter Madeline Grant.
      Madeline was almost unable to control her anger about the case, the perpetrator and his family , the police and those in politics and the media who were not giving it the full airing it deserves. She brought up several other examples of two tierism when white people had been discriminated against by the authorities in favour of black and brown.
      Gove whilst not disputing her points kept trying to bring the discussion back to what action ought to be taken and his priority was more action against knife crime!!

      That in a nutshell is why we are where we are. The political class are simply unable or unwilling to admit that it is their mass migration policies of the last three decades that had destroyed our society.

      Tomo – the BBC is in a very tricky position – it went beyond neutral reporting long long ago – hence sites like this . So when it has obeyed or decided to become a propaganda organ of the liberal alien Anti British state its’ legitimacy went out of the window – see non reporting or the invasion- daily rapes – paki rape gangs – Southport – and Henry Nowak .

      It was forced to report Henry Nowak – the story – horror – was – is – too big to ignore / conceal . Same with TTK . so now it has to deploy the usual distractors – process – fights between politicians – rubbishing the only politicians switched on to how we feel – Farage / Lowe . But you can hear the squirming awkwardness of it and wishing it would just go away .

      The BBC must be desperate for the news cycle to move on – to find a disaster or back to ethnics as victims – business as usual .
      BTW – number 10 must be gaming getting Henry Nowaks family to number 10 and shake hands with TTK … will it happen ? When ?

      And then there are victims of the plod from Southampton – 2 arrests – apparently – they’ll be getting the ‘full force of the law ‘ – a phrase already used by the Muslim Home Secretary …. Expect 3 years each ….the full vindictive regime in action … the regime which handcuffs dead white boys ..

    Toady headline this morning was the overnight disturbances in Southampton. I do wonder whether the ‘Far Right’ have any brain cells, we could all predict the BBC outrage if even one stone was accidentally moved. Morally right. Tactically inept.
    No. The giveaway was Amol Mumbler Rajan’s interview with a (female) plod head honcho.
    The takeaways were
    1. She felt sorry for the police attending the Henry Nowak scene
    2. Of course the police have to treat people differently, Quickly sidestepping the racism, she laughably cited deaf and wheelchair bound people. No point the police shouting at a deaf person, or expecting a wheelchair user to stand up!!
    3.There is no two tier policing

    The Police are in denial. Either wantonly or ignorantly oblivious to the woke takeover of the force.

    By the way, don’t you just love the mantra from the Home Secretary and others that ‘this isn’t about racism, its about murder’. When the video footage unambiguously shows the racist card being played by the murderer.

    Forty years ago there used to be a joke remark. It went ‘Help the police. Beat yourself up’. What they missed out was ‘especially if you are white’.

    Got to go now, hoping to join the Socialist Workers Party demo in London this weekend about police brutality against white people. Only joking. There won’t be one.

    “When police arrived, Digwa claimed that Henry had been racially abusive and had knocked his turban off. The police believed him, ignoring Henry’s pleas that he was wounded even as he lay on ground, blood streaming from his head.

    Extraordinarily, police chose to put Henry in handcuffs. The boy kept saying ‘I can’t breathe’. Only once he lost consciousness did police remove the handcuffs and administer CPR.

    No one really knows why the altercation happened. Whatever the cause, judge William Mousley KC said that Henry had acted no more than ‘cheekily’ with Digwa in the moments before he was stabbed.

    ‘I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist,’ the judge concluded. The judge also noted that it is illegal for anyone but a Sikh to carry such a weapon. It’s something we allow in Britain, in the name of tolerance.

        I’ve heard that in Southampton at the protest yesterday evening the protesters started to chant Kneel Kneel at the police, how true this is I don’t know. Has anyone else heard this? I’m guessing the main narrative on the BBC is how the far right , racist and Tommy Robinson NHRN are inciting violence and that Britain is diverse and we should all light candles for that poor lad instead of protesting at his treatment.

    I have to say I’m quite disturbed by the Left flooding social media by completely misrepresenting what Nigel said.

    He said:
    “The biggest fear a police officer now has… is the fear of being reported for having acted in a way that was racially biased. That fear [is] now greater than dealing with a dying man… I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure cold rage.”

    None of them are giving the context and are simply claiming his statement is creating division – thus implying he said it about the murder, not the police actions. And the Lefty comments are as full of the same childish spite against Nigel as we see on a BBC HYS.

    It is the Left creating the division yet again. And ‘projecting’ it onto the Right. And THEY are the ones weaponising the family’s reaction trying to use it to prevent people like Nigel speaking out.

    The world has gone mad. The Left don’t care one bit how low they stoop. All their ‘ethics’ are simply opportunistic fake outrage. They are absolutely full of hate against the Right.

    Dangerous Mahmood of the nation edition

    Their headlines this morning will tell us clearly where each of our legacy national newspaper titles stand on the issue of the Henry Nowak killing.

    What we have here is a form of snapshot state of the nation moment.

    So while our BBC obsesses: More heatwaves likely as warmer-than-normal summer forecast – I don’t even bother to fill out my World Cup wall chart these days – so I certainly won’t be making an urgent dairy note of: Jersey records hottest ever May day (BBC) – just warn me when I need to take a brolly, or pack a jersey.

    However, let’s take the temperature of the nation according to the mainstream media

    You know it’s serious when the jokey blokey Daily Star gets serious: Arrest that outraged nation – as one has so often noted – the blunt concise language of the often comic tabloid speaks louder than the contrivances of our mainly left-leaning broadsheets.

    Mind you, the Star won’t be getting into systemic arguments about what went wrong – it tends to personalise these things: Cuff cop quits – and there’s football to focus on.

    One had to reach down into the mid-table positions of the BBC’s print press line-up to find the front page of the Star – Our BBC likes the left-leaning junior poundshop Guardian for their top pick this morning. Can you guess why?

    Family’s plea for calm ignored (i paper)

    It has become pretty obvious over the recent past that the regime’s chosen tactic for calming the outrage of the nation, after immigrant outrages against it, is to manipulate the reaction of victims’ families.

    To be clear I’m not throwing shade on the intentions of this young man’s father, questioning his good faith – or blaming him for any particular obfuscations in the statement that this family’s lawyers will have helped him write. But just read the left-liberal media take…

    Henry’s father, Mark, had said: ‘We do not want his death used to cause further division, hatred or tension (i paper); Appeals for calm as murder case prompts fears of racial tension… PM condemns Farage for trying to ‘create division’ against family’s wishes (Guardian); ‘Plea for calm ignored’ – clips our BBC out of all today’s headlines to head their print press review – like a punk LP cover artist designing “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Message

    And as one reflects on the classic media mantra “good day to bury bad news” [The most infamous use of this phrasing comes from Jo Moore, a British political special adviser who sent a leaked email on September 11, 2001] – hey A.I. you forgot to add, when you quoted that old article from the Guardian: Ms Moore was a New Labour special adviser spin doctor to the New Labour Transport Secretary Stephen Byers – thought I’d mention all this what with those new Labour Mandelson revelations in the news.

    Anyway, probably not a good day to drop this one: Michelle Obama ‘White men don’t have to worry about imposter syndrome’ – the Gruan doing their regular impression of the Harlem Voice – nope, seems what they do have to worry about is getting stabbed up, falsely accused of racism, hand cuffed, arrested and read their rights as they bleed out.

    Press titles take the opportunity to pillory their usual Aunt Sallies…

    Far-right activists including Tommy Robinson called for demonstration amid outcry at killing (i paper)

    Far-right…? Or, to reinterpret those words… Super Correct?

    Can we get a dig at the far-right from the FT? Sure we can – more or less: Rightwing rivalry exposed over murder of student (FT)

    Can we get a “disinformation” from the virtual online only left-leaning Indy? – I’ll be a stretch but I think they won’t disappoint: Mahmood warns of ‘dangerous’ mood over teen’s murder… Home secretary condemns inflammatory talk and misinformation after Nigel Farage stirs anger with call for ‘cold rage’ (Independent) – please explain the “misinformation”?

    …an officer wrongly identified as having arrested the dying teenager had subsequently received death threats (Indy) – well then, you’d better name and bring criminal or disciplinary changes against the actual officers involved – and their sergeants… their inspectors… their chief constable… and whoever wrote the training guidance.

    Credit where credit is due… the in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror takes it on the chin: Why didn’t they listen? Victim told police he had been knifed but they handcuffed him as he lay dying

    The Sun asks: How did we come to this? Arrest that outraged UK

    Corporate giveaway adsheet Metro admits to: ‘A dereliction of duty’ over Henry killing… MP’s ‘two-tier policing’ claim over Sikh killer

    Nigel Farage accused of ‘reinforcing’ division with his response to Henry Nowak murder – the Express has a fast bleeding out Tory party to resuscitate: Kemi fury at ‘white lives matter’ comment

    The Mail arrives to administer some badly needed first aid to the prostate…: More black men to benefit from prostate cancer screening trial (BBC) – I meant to say badly needed first aid to the prostrate, and hand-cuffed by liberal ideology, Tory party: Writing in the Mail… Kemi: This needs to be a Stephen Lawrence moment

    That’s as maybe. But as the Sex Pistols demanded in 1979 when they covered the Small Faces 1965 track “Whatcha Gonna Do About It”

    The regime-central Times goes down the route so often travelled by the Guardian – that of process and technocratic bureaucratic management: Review of race guidance to end ‘two-tier policing’…’clumsy’ advice to treat ethnic minorities differently blamed for wrongful arrest of student (Times)

    Likewise the mildly conservative Telegraph wants to focus on policies: Police face call to drop race bias policies… Politicians blame DEI guidelines…

    This focus on policy discussions will be grabbed by the government with both hands – and will kick the real issues safely away into the far distant long grass. Meanwhile.. the World Cup…

    England v France… Who wins the style match? – Two black blokes pictured in designer clothes – I couldn’t recognise them – or tell them apart – without their kit on. Be fair, they both had dark glasses – now if they weren’t going to wear respectively white or blue football shirts – give us some national distinctions.

    I noticed that the Prime Minister yesterday having said he felt ‘sick’ having seen the bodycam film of poor Henry, hesitated between saying he had a ‘seventeen year old’ and ‘son’. I wondered what that was about.

    The demonstrations last night were against the police. This must have made the ‘policing’ difficult. Usually the demonstrators are against something else rather than a personal attack. But I saw some film and the police lined up looked about 18 years of age, bottom lips trembling as though they were about to burst into tears. How many of them might think they have had enough and resign. Who will take their places?

    A few years ago, whilst in London, YouTube gave me an advert for the Met Police. It was all about it no longer being a ‘force’ but is now a ‘service’. The advert showed the work as helping old people cross the road or a 16 year old who has run away from home. Nothing about upholding the law. So young policeman are recruited on their woke credentials and we are all the poorer, especially Henry Nowak.

      🚨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

    I agree : there is one particular religion where I have never seen evidence of ANY of them being angry when one of them murders whitey.

    The only reason this made the news is because he died and we have video of just how racist the police are against whites. How many thousands of times will they have been racist against whitey when dealing the aforementioned group but nobody died on camera so it was supressed ?.

    THIS is why we should not keep quiet whatever the family think. It actually has nothing to with them.

      I’ve only ever knowingly known 1 Sikh when I was a software contractor for Rolls Royce in Derby and half the office were Muslims. And despite being a bizarre compulsive liar where he would lie for no apparent reason at all, he was friendly to everybody. He even cooked food and left it by the door for people in the morning.

      The Muslims half of the office however (they did not integrate at all) hated him with a passion for the simple reason he socialised with the white people. They had a special derogatory name for him. The others even had to hold one of them back (called Jazz) from following him out into the car park and beating him up. Of course they spoke in Pakistani to each other so we had no idea what they were saying.

      This was my first experience of them as a mutually supportive group and they were utterly racist. On nights out they would turn up in their red velvet jackets and behave like complete @rseholes on the dance floor towards the women – forcing themselves in between them and the whitey they were dancing with for example.

      Yet it was made known in the office that if any word got to the management that you said anything bad about them, you would be instantly dismissed.

      I didn’t stay there for long.

    Compare and contrast…

    A few years ago, career criminal and all round thug, George Floyd, died whilst in police custody in the USA.
    For some reason this also impacted us in Britain. We were in lockdown at the time, but BLM were allowed to take to the streets and there were “demonstrations” in London. The Churchill statue and The Cenotaph were vandalised and 37 police officers were injured. The BBC told us, “Demonstrations were largely peaceful”

    Last night in Southampton, after the murder of Henry Nowak, an understandably upset public demonstrated. Things got a little heated with a small minority of young men. Bottles and bins were lobbed at police. As far as I know, no officer was hospitalised. The government and the media response is that Nigel Farage has stirred up hatred and that “Far right thugs have attacked the police”

    You do notice the subtle difference…

    The judge explains that the sentence guidelines say he was due 15 – fifteen years minimum – for the killing – he’d be aged 36 … but then the 10 negative factors were described – knocking the minimum up to 23 years then bought down to 21 years due to 2 mitigating factors

    The judge gave plod a pass without criticism – perhaps not the place . The factors increasing the sentence was theft by robbery of Henry’s phone and subsequent recording of Henry after he was stabbed and tried to escape .

    To me the brother shouid have been charged under joint enterprise with murder – the two connived in their own language to lie their way us in self defence – but in the end did no comment interviews until court .

    This case deserved the death penalty – maybe another prisoner will do the job the state should do …

    2022 …. This made me laugh ….“Leicester City Council anticipated more arrivals. It took out adverts in the Ugandan press discouraging refugee…. from making the city their destination” ..
    HA HA HAH AH AHA!
    “..But still people came…”

    …..
    “When Ugandan Prime Minister, Idi Amin, expelled Asians in 1972, Leicester City Council anticipated more arrivals. It took out adverts in the Ugandan press discouraging refugees, with a right to settle in the UK, from making the city their destination. But still people came, with many of the East African Asian community starting their own successful businesses – including in retail, hosiery and manufacturing.”24 September 2022

    “Indeed, wherever you look across the Government’s agenda – our NHS reforms, our immigration and asylum reforms, our industrial policy, our radical devolution agenda, our transformative power shifts in favour of workers and renters – it is the same story on repeat. Greater security as the basis for aspiration and growth. No contribution or community ignored. Strengthening Britain’s control over the forces that shape our world.”

    Well, Henry Nowak may have died because of police racism but today something really serious has happened.
    There was a demo last night in Southampton.
    The BBC are all over it.

    One of those live streams of which the BBC are these days so fond.
    Fulsome coverage of police statements about the demo. Unlike for Henry Nowak.
    Appalling racist, sectarian contribution by a Sikh MP, clearly representing only his own people, given full coverage.
    Eleven police injured.
    A dog was injured. Call out the cavalry!
    Though none as seriously as Henry Nowak.
    Knife crime blah blah blah.
    Enquiries will take three months. Three months FFS.
    Talk about kicking it into the long grass.

    The left at its deflecting, head in the sand best. Or worst.

    I hope the whole of the police get sorted out when Nigel gets in.

    While we side with the police officers who were attacked in Manchester Airport we are against those attending the Nowak murder.

    The plod on the ground isn’t the one to blame if you want to apportion it. It’s what they are told to do and they may well lose their job if they don’t follow the woke DEI procedures.

    The people to blame are the ‘higher ups’ in the police and their bosses. They have been brainwashed at school then uni then fast tracked to the top police jobs and it’s their rules that the cop on the beat have to obey.

    If the ‘higher ups etc’ had been hard right wing and wanted the cop on the beat to treat law breakers (like the rape gangs) seriously, if they wanted none of the woke crap they are contaminated with and if they wanted to return the police force back to the way it was when they were respected, they could do it.
    The cop on the beat behaves the way he is told to by his bosses.
    There are plenty of good cops about but they are being held back by the woke leadership.
    It’s often said the police rush into dangerous situations and so many are brave and unselfish taking these risks.
    It’s their bosses, sitting in plush offices and having their many meetings who are the problem.
    They need removing and replacing by proper coppers with common sense coming through the ranks.

      EG – it needs a National police force to flush away the current DEI SMTs OK? Then the end of DEI and a retraining programme plus vetting to flush away the criminals and political activists in uniform …

      The white population would be safer if the police didn’t exist at all. Only in this country can a murder victim be arrested for racism.
