He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.”Vance's remarks follow the Trump administration's call to end "two-tier" policing, with the US state department criticising "ideological conditioning" and "two-tiered policing" as symptoms of "civilisational decline" in the West.Police handcuffed 18-year-old Nowak as he lay dying despite his repeated pleas that he could not breathe after his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely accused him of a racist attack. Vickrum Digwa got a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years for fatally stabbing Nowak with a ceremonial knife, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating Hampshire Police's handling of the incident.Downing Street has rejected any claims of "two-tier policing" in the United Kingdom, while Nowak's family has urged politicians to rebuild trust in the police and prevent anger from dividing communities.In fullJD Vance blames Henry Nowak murder on ‘invasion of migrants’Thank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
