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.

Henry was killed in December. The police were lied to late at night on the scene and initially missed the stabbing (that's on them). Once they realised they'd been lied to, they investigated properly, including the covert recording of the brothers' conversations and amassed enough evidence to get a conviction within 6 months.

But on the night, they engaged in two tier policing… this proves the opposite of what you think it does!

And? I couldn’t care less about that. At least it’s not knife wielding or whipping up hatred and unrest.

Was it ideal. No.

Is it whipping up violence and hatred (except among the hard of thinking? Also no.

Ask yourself why nobody made a fuss when a young black school kid died at the hands of a white bloke?

Not important enough?
Too black?
The perpetrator had MH issues?

Nobody whipping up hatred and unrest. But when a young white student dies at the hands of someone with different coloured skin….riots.

Racism However you want to dress it up.

Anyway I’m out. This thread has shown me how entrenched racism has become and how willing too many of you are to applaud the unrest and the people encouraging it. Sickening all of you.

You’re out. Why? Because you can’t face the truth that one section of society is protected more than another?

He said he'd been physically attacked, not just 'racially abused'.

They should have assessed who had been fatally stabbed whilst the other person was fine.

No, "cold" rage means take it to the ballot box, and he rightly identifies that large numbers of people ARE furious, this is what politically able and aware people do, they refer to the actual reality that people are experiencing, another good example is Boris accepting that there was widespread anger over the attempts to overthrow Brexit because some powerful people only like democracy when they win, he made the right call while prominent Labour names just kept shouting to get another vote and another until they got their way. In this case KS is completely avoiding the conversation that needs to be had about the dismantling of woke diversity culture that has infected all the main institutions by pretending that Farage is calling for violence and saying that we must respect the family"s wishes etc. etc.

Thatsanotherfinemess1 · 04/06/2026 07:23

And presumably that's also why the traveller boys who raped two girls were given such appallingly light sentences last week- ethnic minority trumps the victims rights in two tier policing and it's right there in the guidance

Exactly. Many folk are sickened by the path this country is going down.

People complaining about a thing they don't like isn't unusual. Lot's of men pushed back against Me Too because it 'went too far' or 'you can't say anything nowadays without being accused of sexual harassment'. I'm not suggesting that policies can't be critiqued, I'm saying that I doubt very much that this case is entirely, or even predominantly, about 'diversity policies'. You and others think it is. I'm sure you all have your reasons for believing that.

The police need to work with it, you can see the bad outcomes. Jack Straw can recognise it. The training will probably change and Labour supporters will switch again.

If it doesn’t get amended under Labour it probably will at next GE.

I don't think they do.

I asked OP if they'd checked the definition. They never got back to me.

Of course they wouldn"t, everyone who can think for themselves knows what Farage is saying.

I don't disagree, but it isn't correct to say that Digwa's claim was one of just 'racial abuse'. The police thought they were coming to an assault. They thought Digwa was the victim, because he and his brother lied about it. They thought Henry Nowak was the culprit and treated him as they undoubtedly treat many suspects when they arrive on scene. Henry won't have been the first person to have said they had been injured in order to avoid being handcuffed. Nothing makes the police's behaviour correct, but I think it's more complex than 'diversity policies'. We've already established you don't agree, and that's fine.

Marmalademorning · 04/06/2026 11:28

Locking up people whose political views we don’t agree with. Wow, that is a slippery slope isn’t it.

It’s both. The incredibly bad reaction at the scene by those officers and the training.

The former under investigation and the latter will likely lead to changes to equality of outcome training.

They didn't need to handcuff Henry. He was hardly moving. He wasn't resisting arrest. Handcuffs are not an automatic requirement for an arrest, so say the College of Policing.

Funnily enough, even after Henry had died, they didn't handcuff Digwa. They took him to the police station and offered him a meal.
