Henry Nowak’s family urged people not to exploit his murder to create further division. It speaks volumes that Nigel Farage chose to ignore them and instead side with JD Vance.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

i know it's been said before but it really hurts to hear things like "they won't stop at trans people" "this will hurt more than just trans people" "trans people were just the beginning" like ok thanks for reminding me that we are the acceptable sacrifices and that the REAL people will be harmed too

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

Really great that we’ve devised a national train system that is actively hostile to the idea of travelling with a pushchair 👍

My GP recently asked me to declare my AGAB. I refused, and asked her to talk through consequences. She explained one benefit was that I would not be offered breast cancer screening. I pointed to my tits and said that I do in fact have breasts. She looked at them, paused, and said yes I can see that.

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

The UK banning trans women from breast cancer screening gives the game away, they want trans people dead. It's social murder.

"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

There's a lot of liberals and leftists who, fundamentally, are fine with racism, imperialism and abuse. Platner being some kind of allegations elemental is part of his appeal to them.

86% is low. Support was much higher before they waged a decades-long attack on trans people. But, still, after a decade and 10s of thousands of hit pieces, it is *still* 86%.

I think a lot of people decided early on that supporting Graham Platner was cool and not liking him was cringe. So now whenever new bad behavior of his gets exposed, people are going to reframe that bad behavior as cool and people arguing against it as cringe. Because everyone is, of course, 12

The things that have come out about this guy (Nazi shit, misogyny, antisemitism, R word, victim blaming) are the exact same shit Dems would hammer Rs on, so, man I don't know what that says about the Platner defenders other than they are hypocrites, at best

There are always these reports at local level. Which is fine, actually, as can you imagine how long the national news would be if every murder was reported. But the utter absence of people who claim to be “just concerned” over these cases is telling.

Here’s a regional one from here. White marine from Wolverhampton given a 3 year sentence for manslaughter - likely to be out after 17 months - after killing a man with a single punch. Because the victim had remarked his killer was from Brum not Wolves. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

what did i say

The idea of "anti-white bias" as a basis for claims of "two tier policing" is a well known far right talking point which can be shattered by evidence. The stats are clear that minorities are more likely to face discrimination if there is two tier policing. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I feel like I'm going mad: Henry Nowak's killer has been sentenced to life in prison with a 21-year minimum. The whole process took less than six months. There were grave errors on the night. But how does this possibly evidence two-tier justice? www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-o...

And as you say the treatment of this poor young man was awful. But that’s because the treatment of suspects is often awful! It would be terrific if this were the lesson learned from an inevitability lengthy and protracted IOPC process but I harbour little hope on that front.

You are creating that debate. There is no debate. There is a far right talking point and a media willing to traffic it into the mainstream.

This, on the death of Henry Nowak, is an outstanding piece of journalism by @stephenkb.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/aa94...

The same people who tell me I can’t ever be British because of my name are saying a guy named Nowak is British, but just for a few days while they hold riots

A supernatural anniversary today, for at precisely 2.10pm on 3 June 1997, an apparition appeared in the British Museum’s reading room, just as Max Beerbohm had said it would in 1916 – the shade of Enoch Soames, who had once done a deal with the devil... 🧵

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

If you fancy reporting the offending listing, you'd be doing us a solid. Love you. x www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

You never see a 'statement from white MPs' when a white person does a crime.

important to remember, since the press will rarely remind you, that the UK supreme court is not supreme in the way the US one is. Parliament is sovereign and can overturn or legislate counter to court decisions, they just choose not to

The Supreme Court has today "strip[ped] fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people" say a group of National Charities for disabled people. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

They're desperate to blame all Sikhs for the murder of Henry Nowak. The way I try to counter it at work in North Tyneside is to ask my fellow Geordie customers if they think they and other Geordies are responsible for Raoul Moat's crimes. Of course they aren't, and neither are Sikhs for this crime

Zia Yusuf claims that white people are the biggest victims of racism in Britain despite the fact that a black person is 16 times more likely than a white person to be a victim of a racially motivated crime and an Asian person 9 times more likely. Reform, never letting the actual truth get in the way

A statement from Sikh MPs on the murder of Henry Nowak.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Oh, he supports Henry's father's call for an inquiry, but not his call to NOT TURN IT INTO A FUCKING GREAT RACIST MESS?

If this is too financially complicated for you to immediately understand, basically Elon Musk is stealing your pension, and the rules that were in place to prevent such a theft have been waived for no obvious reason.

To be extremely clear, this is fraud. SpaceX's "valuation" will be met by indexes voluntarily rigging their own rules on profitability and passive investment, and I think if someone had fallen into a coma in 2022 and woke up today they would assume this is all an extremely poor joke.

reposting this because of the EHRC stuff, hopefully this is the kind of thing that’ll happen when the guidelines impact with reality
