2 Tier Britain and Policing - Digwa

Wellwhatnowbellaboo · Yesterday 09:12

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?

Those police officers should be sacked . Gross negligence. As for Farage I don’t like him taking advantage of this awful situation but as he has I agree with him .

Yes, Digwa tried to make it about race and he is a murderous thug. The weapon he used has nothing to do with Sikhism.

Dare I say, I don’t think the issue re: the police is about race or things going too far the other way.

They had a man lying on the ground, not resisting, not being aggressive but sounding distressed and disoriented. He was repeatedly saying he had been stabbed and they not only ignored it but told him he hadn’t. It was terrible and arrogant policing. Current and past police officers are calling for them to be disciplined, which says a lot, as they know about the training and procedure that should be followed.

It’s an institutional issue within the police

What do you agree with, his racism or call to arms?

Well done starting this thread. Even with such a disgraceful show all round, you're still going to get the virtuous putting their moral superiority above the fact that a young white boy has been murdered. Where do you start? Murderer kills with a weapon that never should be legal. Murderer then plays the race card. Police officers tell Henry they don't believe he's stabbed because of said race card. We are where we are today because of the left's insistence that legitimate concerns constitute racism. The only good thing is because the victim was white, we aren't going to get riots. As for the poster whose only take on this is anything Farage has to say she thinks the opposite. Grow the fuck up.

He's not inciting riots. You really want that to be the case though.

I heard Nigel - shamelss as ever, so has decided to go completely against Henry's family's wishes.
At least everyone is talking about Nigel today though 👏🏾.

What has Nigel said that's racist? I just listened to his speech and didn't hear any racism.. do post word for word what he has said that's racist?

An no weapon should be permitted in the UK... Women can't even carry fucking pepper spray!

@Wellwhatnowbellaboo You agree with Farage politicising this murder and urging people to to respond with 'pure cold rage' when Henry Novak's family asked people not to do so?

Quite.
And where was Farage (and his desire to “protect women and girls”) with his “pure cold rage” when those rapists weren’t sent to prison. Not a fucking squeak that I can find.

This case is appalling. But let’s not pretend Farage is remotely arsed about justice.

This unspeakable tragedy is just a bandwagon for Farage. An opportunity. If you think he gives the smallest shit about the victim you are wrong. He cares about using both victim and perpetrator for his own ends. That's what he's doing and that's what he's happy doing.

MidnightPatrol · Yesterday 10:28

What do people mean when they talk about two tier policing?

Owlsintheforest · Yesterday 10:29

I don't give a shit about Nigel or Reform. I care for Henry and his family only!

We need an outright ban on religious weapons and the police needs to be retrained to treat everyone equally - and to prioritise the needs of someone saying they've been stabbed over someone saying a piece of cloth was knocked off their head.

"Pure cold rage". I don't see anything wrong in those words. Are you looking at this case and thinking something is very wrong from start to finish?

What do you mean by 2 tier policing?

I don’t think we need to ban ceremonial weapons, Sikhs carry them everyday and have for decades in the uk without significant incident.

we need to stop moving onto persecuting other people because we think we’ve exhausted the Muslims, or they’re not enough as the racists appetite grows more and more

Unbelievable on a thread about a senseless killing

What does he mean with 'pure gold rage' then? Or what do his supporters think it means

And I definitely do not want that to be the case so take your false assumptions away with you.

Wrong. Thread has only just started and the minimising is already taking place.

Pure cold rage means raging in your heart that this has been allowed to happen.

'White lives matter' is far right rhetoric, a slogan started by white supremacists as a racist response to the BLM movement

I'm sure you won't be unique in finding nothing wrong with those words.

There is everything wrong...

A young man was brutally murdered.
The police did not treat the victim with any compassion.
The sentence is much more compassionate than I'd hope for any child murdered.

So are you saying white lives don't matter? I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

There's definitely two tier policing and sentencing.

I don't think we should ban the Kirpan.

LuckyHazelFox · Yesterday 10:35

Every single mother who uses this to have a go at Farage. You're doing exactly the same as what you're accusing him of. Using your hate for him when you should be disgusted that such a weapon was allowed because of faith.

can I ask why it shouldn't be banned? Women aren't even allowed to carry pepper spray? We should all live by the same laws regardless of religion. Please convince me otherwise...

I don't listen to LBC, but whatever Farage said, I'm against it.

I've scraped better things than that man off of the sole of my shoe.

This kind of attitude is the biggest problem in Britain right now. Wanting to bury your head in the sand and hope it all goes away.
