@HollyGrayle @PuratanSojhi Anglo Indians are recognised, more so than diaspora Indians.

5 generations of Britons were born and raised in India. They still weren't Indian. Just like you're nothing more than an Indian with a British passport.
No one cares whether your grandparents were part of the British Empire. The Empire is over now, and at the rate things are deteriorating in Britain, it's only a matter of time before you either get a government that will no longer pander to your silly ethnic bullshit, or there will be civil war.

Funnily enough, the 50,000+ Sikhs in the UAE were happy to abandon their Kirpan when the choice came down to carrying their knives or being booted out of the country.
Isn't that strange?
English
@HollyGrayle @LozzaFox Not all Sikhs are baptised/khalsa and not all countries have a commonwealth history. So no, its not strange at all.

@itissecret8 Yh im sure you'll tweet your way to it instead of touching base with realpolitik

Nowhere on Earth, except in the USA, can Sikhs live as Sikhs. But, even there, Sikhs face challenges to their religion.
The reestablishment of a sovereign Sikh nation has to happen. Indian occupied Panjab has to be liberated. Khalistan has to come.
There's no other choice.

@EdwardHobden @t50lby I get that identiterians aren't fond of minorities, buy you'd really extend that to Scots too?
English
A lot of Sikhs online are saying that it is totally unacceptable for any British government to ban the kirpan, because it is absolutely essential for Sikhs.
Yet, Denmark, Italy, France, & Belgium ban it.
In Italy alone, there are c.200,000 Sikhs.

@swyddog7 @grupertlowe Not at all a grievance, just pointing out how odd the "hypothetical" is in the face of actual history.
English
@RSSumb @grupertlowe Lots of Sikhs mentioning these historical grievances against English people as if they have any relevance to the murder of Henry Nowak
English
Thought experiment for the Sikhs who feel entitled to carry swords:
Millions of unwanted English move to India and receive legal exemption to carry bayonets, while Sikhs are banned from carrying their traditional weapons.
Then, an Englishman stabs a defenceless Sikh 5 times.
English
Yes it was a kirpan.
It was described as such in court (prosecutor and media called the 21cm murder weapon a “Sikh kirpan ceremonial knife” / “kirpan-style blade” / “ceremonial kirpan”).
Digwa himself used the religious kirpan exemption as his excuse for openly carrying it that night (claiming self-defence tied to his faith).
Sikh Federation (UK)@SikhFedUK
The entire Sikh community has been "demonised" as one individual has broken the law and been found guilty of murder. The murder weapon was NOT a Kirpan (one of the 5 Ks), it has a different name that does not start with K, but the @CPSUK is refusing to share an image of the murder weapon with @BBCNews @SkyNews @PA @thetimes etc. after the case concluded last Thursday. It was incorrectly described as a Kirpan in court and media reporting. @Dabinderjit @SikhFedUK wrote to @ShabanaMahmood @LabourSJ @Nesil_Caliskan and hope Judge William Mousley KC makes this clear when sentencing on Monday or it will be a massive disservice to the Sikh community. Sensible politicians like @DavidDavisMP @aliciakearns that have made the mistake of calling for restrictions on the Kirpan based on this misinformation should distance themselves from @RupertLowe10 @RobertJenrick @ZiaYusufUK bbc.com/news/articles/…
English
@t50lby That falls under Scottish law, and as you can see, I was talking about England and Wales. Also, the law in Scotland applies to anyone there who is carrying a sgian dubh in the top of the hose while wearing Highland dress. In other words, it applies equally to all.
English
@seledka_vodka @TheGhostSleepi1 Some are making these signals but GB News ect will never acknowlege this.
English
@RSSumb @TheGhostSleepi1 Various orgs and thought leaders have a huge opportunity to respond by gardening self-regulation. And then, in addition to the added safety of everyone, claim integration and comradeship with the rest of Brits.
I hope an opportunity to do the right thing won’t be missed.
English
I think most Sikhs will be reasonable & open to compromise like this. Wear a kirpan shaped pendant instead if its value is mostly symbolic.
Jasmeet Singh 🇮🇱@PwnzAll
As a baptized Sikh I am for banning the Kirpan in the UK, as the barrier to carrying is now so low I see children between ages of 8-14 cosplaying in full Nihang (Sikh military uniform) on London streets It's more acceptable that 200-300k people self-deport than sully the Sikh Religion.
English
@dreckweb @PwnzAll @JUN1984NOV Not all Sikhs are baptised, and other nations do not have the commonwealth history that led to the exemption. Infact it was the Raj that mainstreamed and promoted lenient baptism- something many of us have been trying to correct and hopefully will be taken more seriously on now.
English
@PwnzAll @JUN1984NOV It's banned in Denmark and France, but Sikhs manage to live there. Why not in the UK ?
English
@Alexarmstrong GB News, nor its presenters are capable of good faith debates. You are make evidently clear.
English
This photo is shocking. The Kirpan must be banned. Nobody is demonising the Sikh community, and if they are, I strongly condemn it.
That doesn’t mean we should run away from a debate. That mindset has led to serious issues in this country.
We are either all equals under the law or we are not.
It is totally acceptable to be intolerant of people carrying knives, religious customs or not. It is not British and nor must it remain normalised.
Sikhs should rise to this occasion and find solutions, rather than attack people who are just asking for fairness and a reasonable debate over something most people will not wish to accept.

🚨 Astonishingly, Henry Nowak’s murderer would walk around the office of the accountancy firm he worked at openly wearing a large dagger. Imagine you walked into an office and a white accountant was walking around with a large deadly weapon. You would call the police immediately. Instead, his employers declared him their “brightest young talent”. This is the two tier society Britain has become, where everyone is so afraid of being labelled ‘racist’ this sort of madness occurs. Reform will end it. One law for all.
English
@SikhFedUK Perhaps agitating the GOI whilst standing on a sand castle was not wise. Actual successor, spirtual successor-poor stratergy either way. I still hope sikh fed smells the coffee, ignores self defeating internal dynamics and recognises the benefits of having friends.
English
The Sikh Federation (UK) is not a successor body to the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) as claimed by the Indian government and mis-reported by certain media that you are quoting.
If the Sikh Federation (UK) had simply been a successor body to the ISYF it would have been banned under Section 3(6) of the Terrorism Act 2000 by the UK Government that has used this power at least 15 times when banned organisations have used alternative names.
The Sikh Federation (UK) is a non-governmental organisation that was set up more than 20 years ago in September 2003 with a focus on mainstream politics and lobbying.
The UK Government were legally challenged and were forced to lift the ban more than 10 years ago in March 2016 and across Europe in April 2016.
Your information is outdated and based on Indian government sources. This says it all!

@RestorerPatriot The @SikhFedUK is a rebranding of a proscribed Sikh terrorist organisation.

@Khaledhzakariah Ok, would you give up Kosher then in the interest of equality and animal welfare? Don't throw bricks from a glass house.

Britain has been utterly unbelievable these past few days.
I criticised the religious exemption that lets Sikhs carry knives. In response, I was hit with a barrage of racist, anti-Muslim abuse from Sikhs — none of whom apparently bothered to check that I’m actually Jewish.
When I called out the antisemitism coming from Restore Britain, I got flooded with antisemitic attacks and accusations that I’m on Israel’s payroll.
I’ve never experienced anything like it. Most days I’m simultaneously called a “Muslim terrorist” and “Khaled Khazaria.”

@GBNEWS Literally no other "news" channel has the presenter shouting their mandated op and then "mediating" a discussion.
English
@GBNEWS @Alexarmstrong Does GB News have a lack of media training or is shouting into the mic apart if the brand. Literally how are the standards lower the Fox News.
English
‘No special rules for Sikhs, no matter what your religion is, you should not be allowed to carry a knife in public in this country.’
@Alexarmstrong says he is ‘completely intolerant’ of anyone carrying a knife or weapon in public following the death of Henry Nowak.

The party that gave us Matt Hancock as Health Secretary and Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, and still has the likes of Priti Patel and James “Cleverly” on the front bench wants to claim they’re the party of talent?
The Tory Party is a wasteland of braindead career politicians who will soon learn they’re unemployable in the real world.
Kemi herself has no achievements of note in her career other than hacking Harriet Harman’s website.

Raheem Kassam is a vile, narcissistic grifter. His income is based on audience subscriptions, donations, and clicks generated by lies and the outrage and hatred he goes out of his way to create.
In other words, he profits from cultivating toxic and angry emotions based on false narratives he creates. Britain doesn’t need the sort of hatred he gets kicks out of.
IMO, any politician or political party allowing themselves to be associated with him is as toxic as he is. @reformparty_uk
