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.

'Hiding behind a court judgment' i.e. upholding and agreeing with the law.

You have to have a skewed stance on things to see that as a bad thing.

Yes, but what is Keir Starmer's personal view from his own lips?

PeachOctopus · 04/06/2026 14:05

If you don’t want the country to become more divided than it is already due to ethnic groups ending up fighting like rats in a sack then we should get back to policing without carve outs for some.
One rule for all and no concessions & privileges.

Whammyammy · 04/06/2026 14:07

Just seen a Fox news broadcast, this case and subsequent protests has really caught the attention of US viewers. So apart frim the ones throwing bins and bottles at the police, the protest has put our 2 tier policing woke leftism in the global media spotlight

The footage of poor Henry is enough to make people angry. It’s horrendous.

And it’s obvious the training is leading to difficulty. It can’t be brushed away, it needs to be addressed.

They should be angry but angry that the police ignore a human being who is severely injured despite what they believe his actions may or may not have been.

If Henry Novak was black or the murderer was white we wouldn’t be seeing any of the same commentary from Farage and there certainly wouldn’t have been riots. This is a racist MP stirring up his band of knuckle draggers.

and he still needs to explain that £5m the corrupt grifter.

Nah. They haven't. The result is the same as those ridiculous flag shagger marches

it repulses decent people, but widens the divide between society.

almost as if it was planned

Division is everything to Farage.

His paymasters are intent on undermining this country.

Brexit
Undermining the police
Undermining the BBC
Women to have more children
Scapegoating minorities
Exploiting economic crises
Erosion of democratic institutions
Mass rallies/propoganda

It's all so familiar.

’Flag shagger’ 🙄

It’s this type of name calling that will get us PM Farage. And those doing the name calling, those ‘we know better’ people will be the ones left scratching their heads asking how did that happen. Just as they did in 2016.

No because the actual truth has no place when virtue signalling is the main event!

I agree it absolutely isn’t true and has been proven not to be true. But no surprise that the fans of the Trump lover’s pal would make up fake stories to avoid the truth: that Farage is a grifting, unpleasant individual who like his mentor incites trouble to further his political ambitions.

No matter that the real victims - the parents of Henry - have specifically asked for it not to be politicised.

Well done to Keir Starmer for calling out the little weasel.

And just like in the US and with Brexit many of his fans further down the line will whinge that they didn’t realise what they were voting for…

Locking up politicians for what you interpret as inciting violence. He would have been "locked up" a long time ago if you lefties had your way. More fascism at play. Luckily, the criminal justice system doesn't revolve around the left although it's certainly been hindered and regressed by the aforementioned giving it a good go.

That settles it then. I will always take note of your husband's dislikes.

Thanks for letting me know

Lol well, that's settled 🤣

It has been illuminating seeing Farage’s double standards and inconsistency with his language on Nowak vs. Everard.

But he is a vile piece of excrement too.

Or if he had been a woman.

When Sarah Everard was violently murdered by a Met police officer he urged for calm and to protect the police.

When a young girl was raped by a group of men and they were then given disgustingly short prison sentences, he stayed silent.

But because Henry was murdered by someone with a different skin colour he’s jumped on it.

Farage on women

"But maybe it's because I've got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view."

"'no employer with a brain in the right place would employ a young, single, free woman' has been proved so right," Farage said. "With this lunacy, that if you have children you get three months paid leave off work, or six months paid leave off work"

"In January he claimed there was not "any discrimination against women at all" in the City of London."

You all keep trying to deflect but it doesn’t change what Farage is and what his intentions are.

Meanwhile Farage is trying to deflect from actually accepting a dodgy five million that he personally benefited from.

The diversity policies are the issue, it’s a political problem to be resolved. If police follow them, in fact they have to, it’s not something they personally can resolve without the training being changed.

That comes from the top.

Handcuffing etc and their lack of assessment will come up in their specific investigation.

It appears this police force has known issues with restraint and Personal Safety Training. From their last inspection rated 'adequate'

"the constabulary had a backlog of officers who hadn’t had their required 12 hours of public and personal safety training (PPST) within a 12-month period. This is a risk, as a lack of up-to-date training can lead to the poor application of PPST skills and result in injuries to both officers and those being restrained. It is notable that the constabulary has higher rates of injury to people subjected to use of force compared to the typical range for police forces in England and Wales."

Edited

Is deflect the latest notion the left are adopting as their own word? OK for Starmer to not answer PM questions and deflect elsewhere though. It doesn't change the fact he's the weakest PM ever.

HenriettaHenhouse · 04/06/2026 14:19

Peter Ettedgui said Farage, now aged 61, had repeatedly told him "Hitler was right" and "gas them" when they were teenagers at Dulwich College, in London.

On Monday, Farage said he had "never directly racially abused anybody" after claims by former Dulwich College pupils, including Mr Ettedgu.

Never 'directly' racially abused anybody.

Indirectly though............

Ok I think they got it wrong, it looks bad but I assume it’ll come up in the investigation and whether it’s the training or actions will be assessed.
