Just heard Nigel talk about this on LBC following Digwa sentencing. Also saw the video... I'm shocked and so saddened. Not sure what my aibu is but I think we need to ban all religious weapons for a start . What do u think ? Are you in police ? Are you treating people differently?

He is making a big fuss! I should think so. This case affects every single person in this country. The obsession with Farage is so unfathomable. He's made more popular by the very people who despise him.

It doesn’t affect me in the slightest - or it wouldn’t if MN could spare a bit of bandwidth for anything else. That post is straight out of the MAGA playbook and it’s the old abuser’s “Look what you made me do”. The reason Farage is popular is because he’s legitimised all the prejudice that a sector of society has kept to itself in more civilised times.

“They ignored him and did not do anything to attend to him - whether or not it would have made a difference medically isn't the point, they should have done everything in their power to assist and they did not. In my view it is negligence. Minimising their failure isn't helpful in my view because we shouldn't do anything that helps this into a culture war situation (which it already has, that horse has already bolted out the door)
Those who compare this to George Floyd should also take another look at what happened back then: the cop sat on him for 8 long minutes and deliberately choked him to death. That was murder.
Here it's negligence. Still awful though.”

@StandFirm - stop spouting misinformation about the legal term of negligence which has specific elements which need to be met under English law. Go look it up.

Misconduct is different to negligence. And that will be investigated in accordance with their applicable standards of professional behaviour.

The Digwa family were capitalising on the division and hate. The division which has been caused by the left and which is being addressed by the right.

Yes the right are the epitome of healing division and racial tension clearly. Farage fuels the fire in the most reckless way. Same as Yaxley-lennon..

Or that the public sector know what will happen to their privileges if Reform get in.

What has that to do with the post you quoted? Absolutely nothing.

Are you moved by this case?

The times when blatant racism was socially unacceptable.

Which year or decade was that?

We are way beyond that. The rise of Reform is stop the rot that's set in our criminal justice system.

Sorry do you mean will stop the rot?

Except it's not acceptable and nobody is saying it is. Neither is using a racially motivated defence to murder.

I don’t think anyone here is creating hatred. There are plenty of non white posters who seem to have a better grasp of the crux of the issue than the white ones. It cannot be that any attempt to curtail certain cultures or groups having exemptions from the law is ‘hatred’. There is zero reason for any person to be carrying a blade unless for a demonstrated legal purpose.

I think Nigel Farage wants to create hatred and division, always has done though.

He would have probably had an axe, or other lethal weapons he has been charged with (today) that he carried around in public places.
I don't think religion had anything to do with this murder.

You're right, one can easily walk along the street with an axe and no one would look twice!

I mean people have turned to Reform because they are feeling like second class citizens.

I think he’s v sinister and I would never vote for him. But he’s clearly tapping into something and we would be pretty dim to ignore that.

He is addressing the division the left has created, on behalf of the people the left hate.

Come on now, he was hardly upright having a fluent conversation. He was gasping whilst begging for help. The colour of his hands indicated massive blood loss and they obviously could see his face colour too which i bet was equally cyanotic. They should've called for immediate medical help not faffed on cuffing a completely incapacitated individual.

It was apparently really important to handcuff him, because being in handcuffs prevents people from offending anyone...

The rot here is a lying family and a police force that's not policing without fear or favour.

ByGraptharsHammer · Yesterday 19:43

Awful case. The murderers motives had to be racist, I assume.

Why are the police so dim? They could have dealt with this issue ahead of time. Makes it look even worse.

Agreed.

I would argue however that releasing an “emergency statement” that creates division, immediately after a grieving father has asked for that not to happen, is also “rotty.”

Where did you learn the phrase “without fear and favour,” out of interest? I’ve seen it a few times tonight on here, but never before, wondering if I’ve missed some sort of catch phrase info release.

It was used quite a bit today in the House of Commons in discussing the anti racist police policies.

To be fair, it isn't easy to recruit talent in the police as the salaries are so low.
I can't imagine the grief of this young man's familyz it's must be horrendous.
