Farage squirms as father's plea repeated to him

On 2 June, Nigel Farage made a special announcement in which he argued that white people are the real victims of racism in the UK. The speech was in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, whose murderer Vickrum Digwa had just been sentenced.

Farage promoted a message of hate despite Nowak’s family requesting politicians not use the murder to promote division. Farage is still trying to push division, but given the Nazi rally which followed his first speech, he’s now squirming when he does so:

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"

Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen… it shows exactly who he is" #PMQs pic.twitter.com/cLGAGBHkIu

Farage — Hate monger

In the clip above, Farage says:

In the horrendous circumstances of Henry Novak’s death, can I urge the Prime Minister to consider this? It is now clear to growing millions in this country that we’re living under two-tier policing. The instructions that are given to police officers from police bosses are clear and written down in ink. It says you must treat different ethnic groups in different ways.

The police at the scene handcuffed a laid-out Nowak despite his claims to have been stabbed. His attacker, meanwhile, argued that he was the one to have been assaulted. A regular person encountering this scene could have been forgiven for believing Digwa, as Nowak appeared drunk, and most attackers would have fled the scene rather than lying about their victim’s injuries. These officers could and should have done more, though, and they certainly should have confirmed if Nowak had sustained injuries before handcuffing him.

The fact that these police were inept, however, is not a sign that the British police are institutionally racist against white people. The available evidence we have shows the precise opposite, in fact. Many UK police officers are certainly incompetent and / or malicious, but cherry picking this one case to push a white supremacist narrative is just evil.

Farage finished:

That, apart from the upset and the anger at the circumstances of his death, the anger that you saw spilling out in Southampton last night, and which is in danger of getting considerably worse if the public lose trust in being treated fairly by the police. Can he take some action, end this divisive practice of two-tier policing and make sure that all British citizens are treated the same?

Squirming

Responding to Farage, PM Keir Starmer said:

Mr Speaker, I don’t believe there’s two-tier policing in this country. I’m really shocked that he pretends to have respect for Henry’s family and then acts in this way. They are a grieving family…

A grieving family have asked us not to respond in the way that the leader of Reform has responded. They’ve asked us not to. They have lost their son in the most appalling circumstance. They make a simple plea of us as human beings to please not exploit that. That is their plea to us.

Farage had looked impassioned when he spoke, but he squirmed as he got his answer, as well he should.

Starmer continued:

We all need to reflect on those words of Henry’s father. My response, and the response of others, to be fair, has been focused on the lessons to be learned so we can deliver justice. His response has been to appeal for rage. Rage.

Starmer was referencing when Farage advised his followers to ignore the wishes of Nowak’s family:

Nigel Farage says he will write to request a review of the sentence of Henry Nowak’s killer to toughen it up.

Adds:

“Henry Nowak’s family have responded to his murder with dignity.

“I suggest the rest of us respond with pure cold hard rage.”

This “rage” would bubble over in Southampton later that day:

Opportunism

Starmer finished:

That’s his response to a father who’s lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division… would be wrong in any circumstances, but to do it when the family are expressly saying, please don’t, is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is.

While we rarely agree with Starmer, it’s undoubtedly true that we’re seeing more of Farage’s true self every day. Let’s hope this violent posh boy never gets his hands on the reins of power.
