The murder of Henry Nowak is proof that Brits are 'living in a two-tier culture', Nigel Farage has said - as the death prompted violence between protesters and police.The Reform UK leader likened the 18-year-old student's final moments in Southampton to those of George Floyd who similarly cried 'I can't breathe' before his death in the US in 2020, which led to worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.Mr Farage said: 'Remember the reaction to [Floyd] and the way the police behaved? Within a few days Keir Starmer was taking the knee, Black Lives Matter, it exploded all over the country, Churchill's statue was defaced, the Cenotaph was vandalised.'And yet what has the public reaction been from our leaders and politicians and indeed to be frank much of the media to this? Silence, absolute silence. Proof, if ever there was any, that we're living in a two-tier culture in this country where the rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities.'It comes as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said the murder was a 'seminal moment' in the fight against racism, comparing it to the killing of Stephen Lawrence in 1993.There was fury over footage of Henry being handcuffed by officers as he lay dying, telling them he had been stabbed and uttering his last words: 'I can't breathe.'The finance student was arrested in Southampton last December after being attacked by knife-obsessed Sikh Vickrum Digwa, 23, who then pretended he was the victim.Now it's time to have your say in the Daily Mail's latest poll – do you agree with Mr Farage's view on 'two-tier' Britain?
