To think Nigel Farage should be locked up?

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.

No, just black American drug addicted criminal ones

White British boys can rot in hell is the subtext. Knees for black career criminals…. Nothing for Henry

I ask again - where in that document does it say white people should be handcuffed because of their skin colour?

Oh, it doesn’t. But unfortunately a lot of this country has lost the ability to think critically, as well as their literacy.

Why have we lost the ability to think critically ? just because we don't agree with your view.

Farage is correct on this. We've all been aware of tier policing for some time, and that poor young man that bled to death whilst in handcuffs is proof.
That poor lads last moments were spent in pain, handcuffed on the floor because his attacker made up lies about hurty words and the police lapped it up and handcuffed the actual victim.

Also you have Kier Starmer taking the knee for an American criminal that died in police custody, but not for one of his own citizens.

Hope your view is the majority view as there are still plenty apologies on here

Well, maybe you can say why this awful murder is so much worse than all the others. Why are people having a go at the prime minister?

Why are people rioting?

Because the police attended, sided with the murderer, put the poor victim in handcuffs, and it’s probably anti-racism training which led them to do that.

Honestly. How can you claim not to understand why people are so furious about this case?

sittingonabeach · 04/06/2026 13:01

Why wasn’t there talk of two tier policing when it was the other way round. Where was the outrage from the same people who are outraged and protesting now. I don’t remember that phrase being used before

EasternStandard · 04/06/2026 12:59

BackToLurk · 04/06/2026 12:56

It’s the implication. Officers receive yearly training on use of handcuffs, which they ignore, but blindly follow diversity policies to the letter.

The diversity policies are the issue, it’s a political problem to be resolved. If police follow them, in fact they have to, it’s not something they personally can resolve without the training being changed.

That comes from the top.

Handcuffing etc and their lack of assessment will come up in their specific investigation.

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

MissMoneyFairy · 04/06/2026 12:56

The people that need locking up are the ones allowing knife crime to increase, those aiding criminals and passing pathetic sentencing.

BackToLurk · 04/06/2026 12:56

EasternStandard · 04/06/2026 12:54

No where have I said that?

The training is the issue and should be changed, the people who use it agree and are urgently reviewing it.

The actions of the police are being looked at specifically too.

I haven’t said what you claim as I don’t believe it’s the case.

I strongly implore you to watch the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis. It’s available to watch on YouTube.

Chauvin was completely and utterly fucked over and thrown to the lions.

The very restraint he used, which the chief of police testified was not approved, was right there in their training manual (which the court refused to be admitted as evidence).

George Floyd had a significant amount of fentanyl (11ng/m - the coroner reported that he had previously reported fatal overdoses in individuals with levels as low as 3ng/m) and methamphetamine in his system, which he is believed to have ingested during his initial interaction with the first police officer on scene. He is shown on body cam footage putting something in his mouth and swallowing - which was the exact same thing he did during a previous arrest and almost overdosed.

He also had hypertension, coronary heart disease and an enlarged heart.

It should have been involuntary manslaughter at worst - this was no more than a bargaining chip to try to restore order after serious civil unrest.

I thought the George Floyd event was the icing on the cake for Minneapolis, but apparently not….

Again we’re back to be expected to believe that officers possibly followed one set of guidelines to the letter, while disregarding another set of guidelines.

Are we having a minutes silence for every stabbing murder?

This was a terrible, terrible incident but why now?

No, just black American drug addicted criminal ones

BackToLurk · 04/06/2026 12:52

EasternStandard · 04/06/2026 12:43

Ok that probably depends on whether the guidelines are the issue or the individual officers who didn’t follow them properly. That will likely come up in their specific investigation.

I seem to be blocked from Farage's Twitter page. Odd, as I've never interacted with it before.

There is a police officer sat in jail following a trial for murder. He was convicted of murder. The autopsy report clearly doesn’t show what you think it does, or Chauvin would’ve appealed by now and won, no?

It’s the annual training they receive that covers use of handcuffs. The consensus seems to be, as highlighted on the thread, that Henry should never have been handcuffed.

From watching the shift that is now taking place in culture and politics the only place NF will be locked up in is Number 10 Downing Street.

Did anyone, at any time, give any consideration to Floyd's victims who had to watch the ridiculous beatification of this low life crook unfolding around the world?

Sorry but why has this got anything to with George Floyd? Police brutality, especially for black people in America is a well known problem.

Did our police handle this properly, nope. I can’t even bear to watch the full video of poor Henry. But its not the same as what happened with George Floyd!
