U.S. Vice President JD Vance, on past record no fan of the UK's Labour government, this week stuck his boot into Starmer's hapless crew once again as the shocking truth about the death teenage student Henry Nowak sent a wave of anti - woke anger around the civilised world. While leading figures in the Labour movement, including Starmer himself, tried to claim the two tier policing policy exposed by the story of how young Henry died was a British issue in which Vance had no right to involve himself,, tge Vice President's comments, in which he blamed his death on what he said was civilizational decline and the failure to stop the "mass invasion of migrants," certainly resonate with a large sector of te British public and attracted attention in most western nations.
It has also triggered an orgy of virtue signalling from left wing politicians, celebrities and media hacks.
In December last year, Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student, was handcuffed by police as he lay dying from stab wounds after his killer falsely alleged a racist attack. The killer, a Sikh man, was sentenced on Monday to life in prison.
Video footage from a bodycam worn by one of the arresting officers showed police ignoring Nowak's pleas as he lay dying, sparking questions over why the police had believed the allegation of racism and not Nowak who said repeatedly that he had been stabbed and could not breathe.
"Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit," Vance said on X. "Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger."
Vance said Nowak would be alive today "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".
It can be argued that JD Vance is wrong to link a ”mass invasion of migrants” to Henry’s murder specifically, because the crime was committed by an insane person and no ethic, or religious group or social class is immune from having members who suffer from psychosis. Generally however, it isn’t Sikhs who are proving to be the problematic group who are overrepresented for stabbings, terrorist attacks, sex crimes etc.. The link between mass immigration and an increase in violent and sexual crime is undeniable and is repeated across Europe and in the USA,Canada and Australia. What Henry’s murder demonstrates is that the UK police respond differently to people of colour than they do to white people. Objectivity and staying factual is key.
“If we had not let Sikhs into the country in the first place, this crime would not have happened.” This claim is literally true in this particular case. Vikrum Digwa’s parents were migrants from India and the family is Sikh. However, the significance of this is generally expanded to a claim that the murder occurred because Digwa was a Sikh and that immigration policies that allowed Sikhs in are to blame for increased violent crime. This relies on a fundamental misunderstanding of crime per capita.
Confusion over the concept of per capita is common and it seems to be counterintuitive to people to think this way. While religion is not recorded in crime records, it is in prison populations which represent the most serious crimes. Sikhs are underrepresented in serious crime.
If British Sikhs made up the entire population, serious crime would be about 20% lower than it is now. This may even be too low an estimate of the gap. Because the Sikh population is younger than the general population which increases prevalence of crime and because they are more likely to be city-dwellers which also has this effect, we would expect this to elevate serious crime rates among the group. This is not the case.
Rather than focusing on the ethic and religious background of the killer we should be asking the questions or government does not want to answer about police training (indoctrination,) in 'racial awareness' and what is the link between that and the fact that several police officers ignored the pleas for help of a white man who was lying on the ground and was obviously distressed and yet believed the outrageous allegation of the unharmed perpetrator that he hand been the victim of a racist attack.
When the plods did finally turn their attention to Henry, it was to sarcastically dismiss the information that he had been stabbed, roughly lift him to his feet and proceed to handcuff him even though its should have been clear even to an idiot, that he was unable to stand unaided. Moments later the young man died from loss of blood.
The other remarkable aspect of this story is the way that politicians of the left have been desperately eager to support the request of Henry Nowak's father to avoid making the boy's death political. Had the crime been white on black, leftie race hustlers would have already made it the biggest political story of the century, in fact the left are still trying to make political capital from the murder of Stephen Lawrence which took place 3 years ago.
