Nigel Farage: Enough of anti-white prejudice

The public is almost used to judges handing down pathetic sentences to Britain’s worst criminals. But few have proved quite as disgraceful as that bestowed on Henry Nowak’s killer. Vickrum Digwa will serve a minimum of just 21 years in prison – less than the recommended minimum for a sustained, aggressive, murderous assault.

Today, a furious Nigel Farage vowed to do all he could to change the disgracefully lenient sentence. In an emergency broadcast, the Reform leader announced that he had written to the Attorney General, Lord Hermer, requesting a review. Farage blasted:

Henry Nowak’s family have responded to his murder with dignity. I suggest the rest of us respond with pure cold hard rage.

The Reform leader railed against what he described as a ‘two tier’ system of justice, in which ‘the accusation of a racial slur is treated more seriously than actual violence’. He warned that hate speech laws had been brought in to ‘stop any criticism’ of mass migration, which he said had made areas across the UK ‘culturally unrecognisable’.

Farage lambasted the ‘DEI agenda’ and ‘positive discrimination of ethnic minorities over those of white people whose families have lived in Britain for many centuries’. For these reasons, he said, the case of Nowak’s murder, tragically, ‘shouldn’t be a surprise’.

Ending his live broadcast, Farage declared that unless the police and the government get a grip on the issue, societal breakdown could follow.

He said: ‘We need a change in culture. Enough of anti-white prejudice. White lives matter just as much as black lives. The country must treat everybody equally and fairly before the law.’
