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?

I mean. That was over 10 years ago.

So I’d hardly say it’s recent “air time.”

Again read it properly! That’s the last time I ever heard anything from the Lib Dem’s!

Looks like it touched a nerve with you 😂

WTF? Where did I say people have real concerns about Sikhs? I swear the left are loony! No people have real concerns about being dismissed! Henry Nowak was accused of being racist by the perpetrator who then tried to play the victim by playing the race card. The police listened to him over Henry Nowak who told them multiple times he’d been stabbed! But yet again you turn it into something about religion! Jeez there’s no logical argument from you people! Just spinning dumb arsed narratives and twisting stuff I say!

If “people” are concerned about being dismissed, maybe they could try talking some sense.

The people at that protest last night deserve to be dismissed. Their concerns lose any validity when they start behaving the way they do. That’s not gaslighting, it’s fact.

The sensible general public, and people in authority, rightfully don’t want to listen to hordes of shouting men throwing things about and threatening service personnel who have absolutely no link to the case. They don’t deserve an audience, frankly.

I know what happened to Henry Nowak, but thanks for the explainer.

How would you feel if reform voters started calling all Labour voters far left, racist against white people thugs every time you created a thread about a crime??

Give it a try, I doubt you will get very far with that accusation.

I don’t know you from Adam. If you think I’m seeking you out you flatter yourself. Obviously I’m going to disagree with you, my views are the polar opposite of yours.

Farage took the opportunity to turn the murder of this young boy into an immigration rant. He couldn't wait to insert this into his agenda, and if you can't see that, you are blind. His 'pure, cold rage' tirade made him look like a Tommy Robinson clone in a better fitting suit.
He is dispicable.

Weird. I hear quite a bit from Ed Davey.

I actually quite like the guy. We’re a family with a disabled child, and as much as I’ve never voted Lib Dem, I do actually feel well represented as a SENd parent by Ed Davey.

Different circles maybe. Won’t catch much of Ed on GB News.

Maybe you need to look up the actual meaning of the word gaslighting before you throw it around in every other sentence.

I read watch/ read all news channels including the BBC. Never hear anything about them and haven’t done in years. Maybe the odd bit about Ed davey but I had to google who he was at one point. Think the lib dems are past their peak now lol

Oh don’t ya just love it when gaslighters try to accuse you of gaslighting! Doesn’t wash with me sorry! Nice try though

JSMill · 03/06/2026 18:07

@NovembermornI was shocked when I heard him bring the fact that we have had ten million people immigrate to this country in the last twenty years in his statement about Henry Novak’s murder. He has tried to make an awful tragedy about immigration because he’s a hateful racist. I heard him speaking in the Commons when I was driving home from work and several MPs called on him to condemn the violence in Southampton last night and he didn’t. I am terrified at the thought of him winning an election.

And what did Keir Starmer do? Just stood at the box and said “lessons will be learned”!

Marmalademorning · 03/06/2026 18:09

I don’t think the actual murder weapon was a religious weapon though.

I’ve lost all faith in the police after this case to be honest.

Are you aware of how many seats they won in 2024? Hint: over 10 times more than Reform.

Lol.

At least he didn’t attempt to politicise a tragic event against the express wishes of the victim’s family.

That’s what I said earlier. The only time you hear about them is at a general election when they pop up. Then once it’s all over they disappear again.

What would you want Starmer to do exactly?

He is respecting Henry Nowak''s family wishes

Maybe the government could stop posting on X, that would be a good move

Oh he’s always politicising everything! Calling everyone far right racist thugs and just politicising the word… but you carry on believing that politicising the word “racist” was started by Farage and not by Tony Blair and subsequent governments since then!

Starmer is Farage's best asset....so I won't be waving any flags for him either.

To JSMill
Even for Farage, to use the death of that boy and turn it into a party political broadcast for Reform was frankly cruel and pathetic in equal measures.

Do something about the state of this country! Henry Nowak wouldn’t have been treated this way hadn’t the left started politicising the word “racist” so that perpetrators of crime can just throw the racist card about and play the victim! Oh and saying “lessons will be learned”. Just need him to say his “let me be clear” line now!

Racists were rioting in Southampton yesterday, what do you suggest we should call neo nazis and white supremacists? Or anyone who uses far right rethoric?

People throwing stones, wheely binsand whatever else are thugs.
