Nigel Farage is breaking a semi-silence in the aftermath of Henry Nowak’s murder. He spoke to Sky News Australia this afternoon…
Among other things he said of the BBC and their subsequent apology: “What they were saying was Nigel’s urging the white working class to go out and set fire to things; that’s what they tried to do.” ‘White cold rage’…
He accused mainstream politicians of attacking him instead of addressing the problems: “Any riots that go on, they want to blame the whole thing on me rather than dealing with the absolute cause of the problem… it’s the same playbook happening again and again and again … the British public are getting angrier and angrier that nothing is being done.” Farage said it was the same with Southport…
Kemi Badenoch – who has attacked Farage’s response to the murder – met Nowak’s family this morning and said:
“They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that… We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.”
Starmer is due to meet them as well…
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
