The iniquitous circumstances of the murder of a young Englishman, Henry Nowak, have flashed around the world. The iniquity is straightforward and appalling. Nowak, a white man, was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh. Digwa, now serving a life sentence for this unprovoked crime, told police he had been racially abused. He had not. However, when police arrived, they handcuffed Nowak, who was bleeding to death, instinctively believing Digwa. When Nowak told a policeman he had been stabbed, he replied: ‘I don’t think so, mate.’It is appalling that this harmless young man should have had to die to alert Britain’s anti-racism obsessed government and public sector to the lethal dangers of their policies: but alerted they are. Guidance has been disclosed that tells police to treat minorities with special caution. This is at odds with repeated claims by the British government, from its hapless Prime Minister Keir Starmer downwards, that there is no such thing as “two-tier policing”. We now know there is.Subscribe to gift this articleGift 5 articles to anyone you choose each month when you subscribe.Subscribe nowAlready a subscriber? Fetching latest articles
