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?

The killer and his family made it about religion.

The killer and his family were wrong to do that. Sadly Nigel and his gang are now monopolizing on this to their advantage.

This murderer was obsessed with knifes and sounds deranged. Nothing to do with being Sikh and carrying a Kirpan.

Young people are unfortunately stabbing each other for whatever reason. If this murderer wasn't Sikh he might still have carried a knife as many young people do.

Im a black woman married to a white man

Ive seen it in personal several times over 30 years

someone used the “race card “ and the police assume my partner is racist immediately - because he is a big white man who looks like he should right down there in Southampton with Tommy - 10 names Robinson

Im a black woman old enough to remember Stephen Lawrence
bring it forward to recent years rarely a few days go buy where there is a police officer being charged for racist homophobic abusing their power and yes even murder

so yeah anyone joining know exactly what they are signing up for

I don’t think this is true on a wide of a scale as you’re making it out to be. I know many police officers and they are not Tommy Robinson supporters. The nature of the police - the fact they need to be people ‘tough’ enough to physically take on criminals on a fairly regular basis - of course means it attracts a certain type of person in many cases, and there will always be bad apples. But the job itself is horrendous - they’re regularly spat on, assaulted, kicked, punched, scratched, headbutted. Staying in character 100% of the time is a very tall order.

So my own experience of the police and that of my friends and family aren’t relevant

in my own experience the police are racists to the point that they are so scared of being called racist that all that matters to them

seen it with my own eyes several times

no one is forced to be a police officer so if you join up your accepting that your part of a job that is racist homophobic ..

therefore they can as far as I’m concerned take what people think about them and tough shit if they don’t like it

And personally I think they are absolutely awful and they would absolutely be the last if ever people I would want myself or any of my family go to for help

Eh?

So if you’re the victim of a crime, what do you intend to do - nothing? Tell nobody?

Sounds.. sensible.

I don’t think all police are racists.

i do think there are an awful lot of them who prioritise their jobs rather than doing the right thing because they don’t want to lose their job for fear of being labelled “racist”.

Then you are part of the problem. You don't care what he said but he must be wrong? Even though one man died while being arrested?

I don't agree with Farage, or many politicians, but when they're right, they're right. Or because he said it's bad do you think a dead man must therefore be good?

He doesn’t care about the victim or his family. The family specifically asked that this tragedy was not politicised. It’s a great opportunity for him to move the dialogue along from his 5m donation. Shameless excuse for a man.

@standfirm - like I said, gross negligence manslaughter requires causation. It is not a strict liability offence like dangerous driving (just an example) where you can commit an offence even without someone being harmed by your actions.

Then we need to make it so losing their job over doing the right thing isn’t the norm, and that means politicising this tragedy sadly.

Araminta1003 · Yesterday 21:18

@StandFirm - maybe you were thinking of an unlawful arrest claim and possible compensation? Is that what you mean?

Twisterlollies · Yesterday 21:19

StandFirm · Yesterday 20:15

'Spouting misinformation'? Quick google gives me this:

"To establish criminal negligence, the prosecution typically must prove three fundamental elements:
Duty of Care: The defendant owed a legal obligation to ensure the safety or well-being of the victim.
Gross Breach: The defendant's conduct was a gross, extreme deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would use in the same circumstances.
Foreseeable Risk: The defendant's actions created an obvious and serious risk of death or severe harm that went unnoticed or unaddressed."

I'm not claiming to be a lawyer but I think I used the terminology properly. Of course, that will have to be determined in court but to me, that's what it looks like. Apart from the fact that justice needs to be served for the victim, minimising this situation is a complete miscalculation that will hand Reform some perceived moral high ground and help them sow yet more divisions. We have to be objective. That kid was left to die in a shocking manner and the cops failed on all three points.

But their actions didn’t lead to his death, so GNM can’t be applied here.

It’s a charge used for (for example) doctors who give such woeful care they kill their patient, or employers who don’t use safety equipment and so one of their employees dies in a mechanical or factory accident.

The actions of the accused has to have lead to the death of the victim. That didn’t happen here with regards to the police. Yes the ‘policing’ was woeful but they didn’t cause his death.

I agree. My heart breaks for poor Henry Nowak. I’ve seen the video and the police had no excuse apart from they wanted to listen to bleats of “racist” over poor Henry telling them he had been stabbed

For two long now the public discourse has been anti white anti Britain. We need to stop all these different months “black history month” “pride month” etc all this stuff is divisive and automatically gives certain groups “victim status” in peoples minds, it also portrays other groups as he bad guys.

Look at how we’ve allowed the prioritisation of other cultures over our culture. How we’ve sought to demonise our great history.

We need to stop this victimhood, this anti patriotism, anti white male, anti traditional anti woman bollocks. In another thread we had people trying to defend an abusive man cos it was his religion that dictated he could tell his wife and daughter what to wear and threatened to cut them off if they didn’t comply.

We need to stop pussyfooting round what is happening in this country. We shouldn’t be making concessions to our own standards and norms to accommodate other cultures and norms. We need to to stop bowing down to people shouting about some kind of ism and anti this and that every time someone doesn’t get what they want. Ironically some groups like the Jewish community who are actually facing terrible attacks are the ones who the do gooders aren’t championing and are actively stirring up hate towards the Jewish community.

We need to reassess our educational, cultural, media and political institutions to ensure they aren’t championing this division and victimhood, demonising traditional Britain. Things need to change and I think even some of the woke are actually waking up. I just hope it’s not too late to save this country.

Every person who has been anti white male has blood on their hands over this poor boys death

"A group of Sheffield schools has come under fire after introducing lesson plans that tell children as young as seven that white people enjoy racial privilege, and that black people are incapable of being racist towards white people, prompting accusations of "political indoctrination" from Conservative politicians.
The lesson plans, devised by a teaching school alliance allegedly led by Notre Dame High School, a Government-designated national teaching school, reportedly aim to "empower" students and teachers to challenge "the unequal systems that surround us in society."

What I find odd about these idiots is that they claim to be intensely patriotic, yet they can't be bothered to use their country's language properly; and they have taken at least eleven years of education given to them by the country they claim to love so much, yet they seem to get little or nothing out of any of it. It's like they're throwing it straight back in the country's face.

Oh and before you come back at me with something else, here read it yourself…. Straight off the gov website!

It clearly says
“Digwa murdered Henry and then lied about him, as he lay dying, falsely accusing him of racism. It was an evil act and I know the thoughts of the whole House will now be with Henry’s family and his friends just as mine are.”

The riots are against the police not the Sikh community and I fully understand their reasoning. It’s not time to turn the other cheek. I abhor violence …pity the police don’t agree. They will all be labelled far right today but we know How meaningless that is now

Funny isn't it how riots against the police shouting defund the police are fine when it's during the country's lockdown period. Not only that but the cause is discussed in places of education. No cries of hate and division, but anger when it's acknowledged every single life matters.
