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.

Their aim is to ensure equality of policing outcomes. Do you think that should be outside their remit too?

It’s not possible to police in that way. A crime scene is active and chaotic enough without layering I must ensure this person gets a different treatment for some outcome I can’t assess over time.

Listen to police on this, it’s not doable, it leads to awful outcomes as it did for Henry. Jack Straw also covers the problem well.

If the wording in the policies directed the police to act in this manner on each occasion, why have we not seen more occurrences of white discrimination?

We have its just not Headline news….

I don't remember so much rage over the death of Sarah Everard..

Farage said we must not let the tragic murder of a young woman turn into attacks on men or attacks on the police.

Then the police attacked more women attending a vigil for the murdered young woman.

It is awful how Henry Novak's family are having to be put through so much more.
They've been through more than enough.

Politicians talked of anger and fury after George Floyd and that is was understandable, they stood with them etc.

It’s not possible for police to ensure equality of outcome in society. It shouldn’t be their remit.

How can it be objectively measured at a scene of a crime?

So Farage ignoring the direct plea from Henry Nowak's father not to use his son's death to stir up hatred is OK with you?

Tommy Robinson and his fascist thugs, some of whom were doing Nazi salutes, have terrorised the Southampton neighbourhood where their riot took place and damaged property and injured police officers and a police dog.

Farage is just a right-wing grifter. He doesn't attend Parliament and just uses his elected position as a money-making opportunity.

Yes it is OK with me that Farage has ignored the Nowak family on this matter.
Absolutely OK with me.
It is OK because other people hand-wringing does no good.
Action needs to be taken to stop it happening again.

It is in my opinion moronic to suggest that this is not a political matter.

Can you provide the actual documents and proof, rather than saying “it’s undeniable” with no proof?

Question to you Op.
Digwa could have done many things after stabbing this young man. He could just run away, he could have pretended he found the body. Plus much more. BUT he didn't, he got his brother to call the police and HE accused Mr Nowak of a racist assault. Why?,
Simple question, why did he accuse him of racism?

He actually said pure cold rage, it was a misquote but not a million miles away.

It's more than a million miles away. It's probably about as significantly wrong as it could be in the context and situation.

JuliaBraverman · 04/06/2026 07:54

If locking up Nigel Farage is the answer to the death of Henry I despair I really do

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.

The family’s wishes should be front and centre. The leaders of every political party except Farage are respecting them. Farage is a disrupter, if he have a shit about Henry Nowak and his family he’d pipe down.

OneTealShaker · 04/06/2026 07:53

BBC at it again. Blatant lying and false reporting. The far left propaganda never stops.

Idlewilder · 04/06/2026 07:53

Crafta · 04/06/2026 07:51

He didn't say 'white cold rage', that is what the BBC said he said and he has his lawyers onto them. BBC have apologised and it's on their website so I wouldn't repeat stuff that isn't correct on here.

Can someone be repatriated to Essex then?

Don’t be ridiculous…his parents were migrants. There were a lot of Polish migrants coming over at the time. People were up in arms about it at the time. I’m 60, I’ve seen it over decades and the spread and reach of odious Farage is sickening.

However you could try repatriation of Farage to Essex, I believe the people of Clacton would be pleased to see him doing the job they elected him for rather than fucking off to the US to blow smoke up Trump’s arse.

Get a grip. Farage is right on this one. 2 tier policing based on race is undeniable. Its there in the polices own documentation and training material. Hence Labour trying to make this about Farage.

If the wording in the policies directed the police to act in this manner on each occasion, why have we not seen more occurrences of white discrimination?

I don’t think anyone started a BLM riot because Kier Starmer told them to, or because he took the knee. Lots of people were taking the knee. The England football team used to do it before matches (still might for all I know, I don’t watch it much). Is it their fault?

Farage said he wanted people to feel “white cold rage”. Henry Nowak’s father said he didn’t want his death to be the cause of hatred and division.

Absolutely agree it's because we have two tier policing that this happened. It allowed people of certain race/culture to feel they could confidentiality lie about discrimination along with the police having already believed/decided without evidence that the white male must be guilty.

Did Farage say that?

No, he said ‘pure, cold rage’. It was a guy on the BBC who said he’d said ‘white, cold rage’.

Someone is a bit salty that Farage is right. And you can no longer deny it. The proof is undeniable.

And unless your called out Starmer for stoking racial violence after St. Floyd, you have no moral authority to lecture anyone about Farage encouraging "rage." Perhaps rage from the working class majority is exactly what is needed.

Exactly, noting Starmer wasn’t locked up for supporting a corrupt, embezzling organization like BLM which was inciting race riots. He was taking the knee for a career criminal, tragic though the circumstances of his death were. And it happened in a different country.

Grooming gangs happen here for decades and are still going on.
Henry Nowak dies in this country.
Southport happened here.

All two tier policing. And these hysterical race baiters have only concern. Link up Nigel Farage, who is actually right on this.

They have no interest in the victims of crime. They only want to protect their far left wokery. So what if people get raped or die.

I take it you're a BBC viewer. They've already issued an apology to Nigel and removed their episode from the air. That is not what he said.

I actually think virtue signalling will be the death Of Western Society, as we know it. It’s dangerous or as someone said on a different thread …. Suicidal empathy
