To think Nigel Farage should be locked up?

Good point

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.

Pure cynicism

I warmly welcome the comments of the PM and the Leader of the Opposition, Kemi, for their measured responses. Both of these are prepared to put the work in to learn from this. Not so the often absent Farage.

Idk what that is or if it’s problematic but I’m guessing they’ll look at the equality of outcome and treat people differently lines.

About Starmer defending his parents? Yeah, if I'm wrong, I accept that. Their son's still an evil, deranged monster, though.

Don’t be so ridiculous.

Starmer is more dangerous . He inclination to say nothing do nothing of any meaning except platitudes is not cooling the fire . This country has never been so divided and I think anarchy is a possibility .

Righto, you've made it up then

His shameless Trump 2.0 act is just embarrassing.

He's taking cash from here there and everywhere in the hopes of turning us into little America - abortion lobby, pharmaceutical companies, Christian groups etc.

Next he'll be calling for us all to have the right to bare arms.

Absolute CUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNT.

🤣🤣. The man is a grifting, trump wannabe that appeals to the same type

Are we having a minutes silence for every stabbing murder?

This was a terrible, terrible incident but why now?

No, I think his son being a deranged, machete obsessed murderer is quite enough, don't you?

I wonder if they’ll also review the effectiveness of the annual Personal Safety Training.

The mask has slipped and he is absolutely vile. But his supporters don’t care.

'Address to the nation' what an absolute tool this man is. He isn't a Monarch and he has a handful of MPs. Total menace

And I bet a lot of people living in the road where it all got violent were bloody frightened, too, even if they weren't directly affected.

I know I would have been. I can imagine a child might have been quite traumatised by all that going on outside their house.

I didn’t say they did need to handcuff him. You’re right. There’s is no automatic requirement to handcuff him. Apparently though these officers are sticklers for the policies you disagree with, but completely disregard the ones you don’t. For me it all smacks of incompetence.

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?

The training / guidance is now under urgent review so those who use it do think it should be assessed.

He is a complete dick but he (and everyone) should be able to say exactly what they like.

And so what if they did? Many politicians including Sadiq Khan said that rage was understandable and acceptable when George Floyd was killed. He didn't clarify that violence wasn't acceptable.

@JimBobsWife Farage used those words knowing many people would just see/hear the word rage. He needed to clarify that he doesn’t mean violence, he needs to condemn the violence if he wants to ‘address the nation’

To be fair to you, I think you seem to hold a more nuanced view that some other posters who place all or almost all the blame with diversity policies. Hypothetically I’m not convinced that the outcome would have been different had Henry been Black. If there had been no allegation of a racial element. It feels like the police took the easy option. Believe the complainant, don’t take much notice of the suspect. Again, we know this shouldn’t be what happens, but speak to anyone who’s had any contact with the police and this tends to be how it plays out.

Sadly, they are already excusing him.

The man is a dangerous, vindictive grifter. He relies on the hard of thinking to bolster his "standing" and for some of those poor souls , he makes them feel that they matter.

the "protests" are a replica of the previous ones. Sad, hopeless people jumping at the chance to matter.

His behaviour is traitorous.

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.
