As seen in the Telegraph
Two thoughts on the sad and controversial death of Henry Nowak. The first is about Kemi. Wow. She really is The One. While Nigel Farage has angrily stomped about, demanding certain laws and policies be changed to stop something like that happening again, Mrs Badenoch instead forensically called for people to be mindful of their language. Mummy has done it again.
Little do they know that until 2020 there were no racial tensions in this country at all
And here is thought two: I despise Americans, and the Americanisation of our culture. Nowak’s death has opened the floodgates to all sorts of barking, ill-informed commentary from the Yanks about this seat of Mars. Venerable British customs like handcuffing teenagers who have just been stabbed have come under sustained attack. Radical, lunatic American libertarians now ask why we arrest more people for speech crimes per annum than the Russian Federation – when they should really be wondering why their squalid, car-mad urban environments are bereft of tree-lined avenues, pleasant cafés and inviting bathhouses (as is the European style).
Then there is J.D. Vance. For those of you normal and nice enough not to have an account on Twitter (I refuse to say ‘X’), the Vice-President accused our bobbies on the beat of having shown indifference to Nowak’s fate. This is certainly not the same Vance who wrote Hillbilly Elegy about his impoverished childhood – I much preferred the man when he confined himself to abstract cries for help à la the delightfully Sisyphean task of improving educational outcomes for white working-class boys.
