On behalf of The Wrekin Reform our deepest condolences go to the family of Henry Nowak. You have acted in the most dignified way in such tragic circumstances. The loss of your boy must now be used to force better practice from the police in the future.
For those unaware, at just 18, Henry was stabbed four times with a 21cm blade by a Sikh man. As he lay dying and clearly in distress, calling out that he'd been stabbed, struggling to breathe, the police handcuffed him because his killer cried racism first.
Why was he handcuffed? He wasn't resisting arrest; he was fighting for his life.
Kemi Badenoch has chosen to use her interviews today to attack Nigel Farage whilst trying to point score. Nigel gave the statement of a true leader, and this event is beyond point scoring. What we need is action from our government to ensure this doesn't happen again.
She says we mustn't get 'angry'. She says we mustn't be 'whipped up'. She's got it the wrong way round.
Anger is the right response after watching a dying teenager treated like a suspect. Nigel didn't manufacture it, Henry's death did. As always, Nigel refused to look away, but Kemi wants us to calm down and move on like nothing happened.
She says she's 'not taking sides' but went on to call it a 'Stephen Lawrence moment' and admit it could have been her own child. So, she knows. She just hasn't got the nerve to say it as plainly as Nigel did.
That's the difference. Like Nigel said today, this should be a country that treats everybody equally before the law. One rule for everybody. No favourites.
Henry Nowak deserved equal treatment. He didn't get it. This culture, created by our woke and often left-leaning institutions, needs to stop.
