Keir Starmer has shown more anger at people being furious over Henry Nowak’s treatment than the fact that Henry bled to death handcuffed like a criminal.
This is why he is so despised.
It is clear to everyone but @Keir_Starmer that we are living under two-tier policing in Britain.
The anger millions of us feel comes from losing trust in our justice system to treat everyone equally under the law.
A Reform government would end two-tier policing.
How it started 🚨
Nowak asked Digwa, "Are you a bad man?" while recording it.
Digwa replied, "Yes, I'm a bad man," and snatched his phone.
On Nowak's request to hand the phone back, he refused, and a scuffle started which led to stabbing by Vikrum Digwa.
Later that phone was found in Vikrum's possession after arrest. Vikrum was a thief and killer.
Fuel tankers are lining up for a ferry to deliver gasoline to occupied Crimea, as the peninsula’s fuel crisis deepens and road, rail and storage logistics remain under pressure from Ukrainian strike drones. #Crimea
My Sikh community knew Digwa was a loose cannon and banned him from our Gurdwara. I had suspicions about him all along, just how the hell can a baptised Sikh act so recklessly with no regard to human life?
RIP Henry
Just to put things in perspective.
The average state pension in Spain is higher than in the UK.
The cost of living in Spain is 33% lower than in the UK.
Spain's equivalent to our council tax is about a tenth of what we pay in the UK. And they get daily bin collections.
Where's our money going?
Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old."
"John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."
"When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!"
As I often say in interviews and in the Department, "we have to change the question the system asks from "what benefits are you entitled to" to "how do we help you change your life".
From BBC PM programme...last Thursday (28 May).
First time buyers usually don’t pay stamp duty and usually don’t have removal costs at it is their first house so usually a couple of trips in a car will empty your bedroom of it’s belongings.
Mortgage arrangement fee is paid by the bank to your broker
You have a fixtures and fittings sheet that you review and agree to so they would be aware that radiators are being removed if they actually read the documents
First time buyers added costs amount to about 1% of the sale, mostly solicitors fees.
Nobody tells first time buyers what buying a home actually costs.
The price on Rightmove is just the start.
Solicitor fees: £1,500-£3,000
Survey: £500-£1,500
Stamp duty: up to £5,000 for a £250k property
Mortgage arrangement fee: £1,000+
Removals: £500-£1,500
Buildings insurance: required from exchange
And this week someone on Reddit discovered their seller was taking the radiators.
£1,000 to replace them. Not in any brochure.
Budget 3-5% on top of your purchase price for buying costs alone.
Nobody tells you this, now you know.
