He was inciting violence with his “address to the nation” speech, calling for rage.

Meanwhile, he doesn’t care when women are actually murdered by the police

Surely enough is enough and they need to take action?

Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) on X

We must not allow the tragic murder of a young woman turn into attacks on men and attacks on the police.

Just seen a Fox news broadcast, this case and subsequent protests has really caught the attention of US viewers. So apart frim the ones throwing bins and bottles at the police, the protest has put our 2 tier policing woke leftism in the global media spotlight

No surprise that Fox News viewers who actually believe what Trump tells them would also start drooling about Farage.

Farage on women

"But maybe it's because I've got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view."

"'no employer with a brain in the right place would employ a young, single, free woman' has been proved so right," Farage said. "With this lunacy, that if you have children you get three months paid leave off work, or six months paid leave off work"

"In January he claimed there was not "any discrimination against women at all" in the City of London."

I agree it absolutely isn’t true and has been proven not to be true. But no surprise that the fans of the Trump lover’s pal would make up fake stories to avoid the truth: that Farage is a grifting, unpleasant individual who like his mentor incites trouble to further his political ambitions.

No matter that the real victims - the parents of Henry - have specifically asked for it not to be politicised.

Well done to Keir Starmer for calling out the little weasel.

Well done to Starmer for taking up this opportunity to deflect from his dodgy dealings with Mandelson.

They should be angry but angry that the police ignore a human being who is severely injured despite what they believe his actions may or may not have been.

If Henry Novak was black or the murderer was white we wouldn’t be seeing any of the same commentary from Farage and there certainly wouldn’t have been riots. This is a racist MP stirring up his band of knuckle draggers.

and he still needs to explain that £5m the corrupt grifter.

Or if he had been a woman.

When Sarah Everard was violently murdered by a Met police officer he urged for calm and to protect the police.

When a young girl was raped by a group of men and they were then given disgustingly short prison sentences, he stayed silent.

But because Henry was murdered by someone with a different skin colour he’s jumped on it.

It has been illuminating seeing Farage’s double standards and inconsistency with his language on Nowak vs. Everard.

But he is a vile piece of excrement too.

That settles it then. I will always take note of your husband's dislikes.

Thanks for letting me know

Lol well, that's settled 🤣

LuckyHazelFox · 04/06/2026 14:12

Locking up politicians for what you interpret as inciting violence. He would have been "locked up" a long time ago if you lefties had your way. More fascism at play. Luckily, the criminal justice system doesn't revolve around the left although it's certainly been hindered and regressed by the aforementioned giving it a good go.

’Flag shagger’ 🙄

It’s this type of name calling that will get us PM Farage. And those doing the name calling, those ‘we know better’ people will be the ones left scratching their heads asking how did that happen. Just as they did in 2016.

And just like in the US and with Brexit many of his fans further down the line will whinge that they didn’t realise what they were voting for…

Yes, but what is Keir Starmer's personal view from his own lips?

2023 "Later that year he told BBC Radio 5 Live "a woman is an adult female".

No because the actual truth has no place when virtue signalling is the main event!

Nah. They haven't. The result is the same as those ridiculous flag shagger marches

it repulses decent people, but widens the divide between society.

almost as if it was planned

Division is everything to Farage.

His paymasters are intent on undermining this country.

Brexit
Undermining the police
Undermining the BBC
Women to have more children
Scapegoating minorities
Exploiting economic crises
Erosion of democratic institutions
Mass rallies/propoganda

It's all so familiar.

The footage of poor Henry is enough to make people angry. It’s horrendous.

And it’s obvious the training is leading to difficulty. It can’t be brushed away, it needs to be addressed.

PeachOctopus · 04/06/2026 14:05

If you don’t want the country to become more divided than it is already due to ethnic groups ending up fighting like rats in a sack then we should get back to policing without carve outs for some.
One rule for all and no concessions & privileges.

'Hiding behind a court judgment' i.e. upholding and agreeing with the law.

You have to have a skewed stance on things to see that as a bad thing.

Yes, but what is Keir Starmer's personal view from his own lips?

sittingonabeach · 04/06/2026 14:03

@CheeseyOnionPie that’s my issue, why wasn’t it called two tier policing then. Where was the outrage from the people who are outraged now. Were the current beer swilling individuals happy with institutionalised racism? If it had been called two tier policing then instead would they been protesting in the same way. Did Farage have pure cold rage about that?

HenriettaHenhouse · 04/06/2026 13:59

2dogsandabudgie · 04/06/2026 10:28

In 2021 Starmer said "It's not right to say that only women have a cervix". He only changed his mind after the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. It should never have got that far.

It's all related to where we are today. When you have politicians who pander to people and are too scared to speak the truth for fear of offending anyone common sense goes out the window and that has a knock on effect on everything else.

And where does Farage sit on the scale of politicians pandering to people.
He panders to racists and billionaire donors with an agenda.

He is a self - serving con artist whose sole objective is to stir up hatred and violence. Why people cant see this is beyond me. And yes he should be in prison. But imagine his cult followers if they did this.

Well some of them are swarming all over Mn repeating and supporting his messaging

HenriettaHenhouse · 04/06/2026 13:58

Clavinova · 04/06/2026 13:30

I think the previous poster is correct - your link only shows Starmer hiding behind a spokesperson and a court judgment;

Asked if Sir Keir still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, the PM's official spokesman said: "No, the Supreme Court judgment has made clear that when looking at the Equality Act, a woman is a biological woman."

The spokesman added: "That is set out clearly by the court judgment."

'Hiding behind a court judgment' i.e. upholding and agreeing with the law.

You have to have a skewed stance on things to see that as a bad thing.

And it’s almost like people are assuming the police’s idiotic decision was driven by the race of Digwa. Is that a proven fact, or speculation ?

Show me where I made that claim first, if youre asking me to justify it.

Whammyammy · 04/06/2026 13:44

They've achieved a great deal. They've showed the world how awful our government and police act and treat its citizens, and hopefully shamed them both into reviewing current woke policies

Nah. They haven't. The result is the same as those ridiculous flag shagger marches

SapphOhNo · 04/06/2026 07:37

Farage will get as close as he can to inciting violence without crossing that line but you definitely get what the subtext of what he's saying and wants

I loathe the man. I think he's a hate-spinning, lying charlatan who loves the title of being an MP but not the work... loves a grievance but offers no credible solutions.

He also loves the trappings of it. The access to rich and powerful people. The opportunities to grift and get money for influence.

He'd do anything for money and power. Encouraging hate and violence is nothing to him. Having screwed the economy through Brexit and got away with it politically he can just plough on with his deluded fans.

Gee, its almost like your ignoring the police officers actions intentionally just so you can act confused.

I feel terrible for Henry Nowak's family but this is very much a political matter and I cannot help but think anybody who brings up how his family feel about this is using emotional blackmail to shut down debate.

Farage is right. Absolutely right.

There is two-tier policing in this country.

there has always been two tier policing I. This country. It’s mostly been geared towards treating non-white people more harshly. But I sense you would be ok with that.
