UK Politics

Interesting to note that none of our forum Left wing political experts have been along to condemn this appalling situation.

I imagine we would be pages deep by now if it had of happened in the USA but as it happened over here in the UK they can`t follow their normal well worn path of throwing the blame on the Right so they aren`t interested. No wonder the Left here in the UK is a complete laughing stock.

Thoughts go to Henry`s family and hopefully some quick action against the police officers involved.

Hakuna your tatas, mate. The police was incompetent and fucked up, badly. The murderer is sentenced. I'm not religious, so I think there should be no exceptions to weapon bans. If other citizens aren't allowed to walk around with daggers, neither should religious folks.

What more is there to say? Half a year has passed and the trial is over. But good for you for perfomatively abusing a horrific situation to score political points.
 
Also, the left has had fundamental structural problems with police for ages at this point. ACAB and all that. Regardless of country, it doesn't matter if it's the UK, the US, Germany or the Netherlands (where the other day an asshole cop slammed an innocent pregnant woman to the ground, which induced early labor), leftists all over are criticizing the police. It's not us who are defending those pigs. It's not us who, when a 'foreigner' is attacked, abused or even killed by police, turn around and say stuff like "should've complied, should've listened to the officer" instead of condemning police brutality.

Glass houses and all that.

Are you suggesting that the UK policing system is inherently racist AGAINST white people?

Police are useless, Britain is a fucked up place, the political class are mostly cunts, regardless of party and the police handling of this Novak incident is deplorable but if you're suggesting that they system is racist against white people then you need you head examined.

No.

However anyone who watches the bodycam footage of the incident in question and believes it not to be the case there is in far greater need of a trip to the quacks than i am.

The video I've seen shows 2 white peelers hand cuffing a white guy. Maybe the stabbing was racially motivated, I've not read into it and the police are definitely culpable in his death but I don't see how the policing is racist in this case. It's negligent and amateurish in the extreme.

To me it looks like the Sikh guys called the police and the police took them at their word that Novak was up to no good. The Sikh father even tells them that Novak can't stay upright and has a mouthful of blood. It's absolutely mind boggling that the police didn't treat him as a casualty but I don't see white on white racism here. Doesn't make any sense. The simple explanation is that the police are just fuckin useless.
 
Cult like lunacy again on here again. You are out of step with the whole world on this but still plough your embarrassing furrow and happy clap each other along.

I wonder how you all felt about the Policing in the George Floyd murder and subsequent riots, oh wait let me take a wild guess...

How about you tell us your position on this instead of throwing a tantrum? We condemned the police in both cases. Not that difficult, is it?

Why are you comparing both things when they are clearly different situations. As far as I can remember, George Floyd was murdered by a police officer...

Either way, the actions of the police with Henry Nowak in Southampton were appalling beyond belief.

Since you opened that can of worms, let me share some of my favorite statistics and facts on the matter:

- Over 93% of all protests (use the correct terminology) were peaceful, which is impressive considering those were some of the largest protests in the history of the US.
- In the remaining 7% that turned violent, the violence was started by the police in most cases.
- Furthermore, we know that the riots were instigated by far right agitators.

That's why it's always hilarious to me when right wingers mention those protests to dunk on the left, only to find out that the facts contradict the right wing propaganda machine. It's such an own goal for right wingers, but you're too brainwashed by the media you choose to consume to see it. A fitting quote for all that:

'Facts don't care about your feelings' - Ben Shapiro
 
So, is it actually true that one group of people is allowed to carry a dagger because of their religious beliefs? If so, how long would an Englishman be allowed to walk the streets carrying, say, a medieval sword?

You can argue that the right exploits situations like this, but the government provided the fuel for that argument in the first place. Treat all citizens equally. No religion should be above secular law.

And justice for all.
(Again, I may be completely wrong about this, but that’s how the situation looks to me from afar.)
