🚨 TRIAL UPDATE: HENRY NOWAK – WHAT WE KNOW 🚨
Henry was only 18 — a first-year student, kind, full of life, loved by everyone who knew him. FOREVER 18.
He was walking home, unarmed, after a night out, when he was stabbed 4 times with a 21cm blade — one wound piercing his lung. He tried to run, crying out that he was dying.
IN COURT:
🔹 Vickrum Digwa (23) → charged with murder. Phone footage shows him saying “I am a bad man” just before the incident. Later found with Henry’s phone in his pocket.
🔹 Kiran Kaur (53) → charged with assisting an offender. Evidence shows she removed the murder weapon from the scene and hid it.
Both plead NOT GUILTY. They claim self-defence, and falsely describe Henry as drunk, aggressive, and racist.
BUT NEWS REPORTS & EVIDENCE PROVE THE TRUTH:
✅ Witnesses, video footage, and forensics confirm: Henry was calm, posed no threat, and had no weapon.
✅ Digwa chased Henry after stabbing him — proving he was not acting in defence.
✅ Medical reports: The injuries were catastrophic — he had no chance of survival.
💔 TWO TIMES HE WAS FAILED 💔
1️⃣ First — by the violence:
His life was stolen in a brutal, unprovoked attack. He did absolutely nothing to deserve it.
2️⃣ Then — by the system:
When police arrived, they believed their version instantly. Henry lay bleeding to death on the pavement… and THEY PUT HANDCUFFS ON HIM. Treated like a criminal, while those responsible stood free. He died there, still restrained.
It took weeks of public pressure and new evidence before arrests were finally made.
Two failures. One innocent boy lost.
We will never let them drag his name through the mud. The facts are clear. The only possible verdict is GUILTY.
Rest in peace, Henry. The truth is known — and it will stand 💔🕊🙏

If this was about “saving the climate,” they’d put the panels over every big box store, failing mall, brownfield, parking lot, and parking garage in the world.
It’s never been about the environment.
Commercial solar is a Trojan horse for the largest wealth transfer of our lifetimes.
Generational farmland is transitioning to multinational foreign corporations.
That was always the plan.
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
A solar farm just opened where a beef farm used to be. This is a real sentence about a real place. In Lincolnshire, near Glentworth, on land that grew British food for six hundred years. 1,214 hectares of grazing pasture and cropland, the size of Heathrow Airport, now under panels for the next forty years. It is called Tillbridge Solar. It was approved in October 2025. The locals were against it. The local council was overruled by central government. The farmer who used to graze cattle on that land will not be grazing cattle on that land in your lifetime. Down the road, Springwell Solar got the nod the same month. 1,280 hectares. The largest in the country. Same story. Beef and arable, gone. This is happening everywhere. CPRE found that 59% of England's biggest solar farms are on productive farmland. In one Lincolnshire district, 7% of the land is now solar panels. Three solar farms, Sutton Bridge, Goosehall, and Black Peak, are built entirely on the highest grade of agricultural land we have. Now here is the part nobody mentions at the dinner party. The roofs of the warehouses on the A1 are empty. The supermarket distribution centres are empty. The Amazon sheds, the MoD car parks, the industrial estates outside every town in England, all empty. CPRE's own numbers show that putting panels on the roofs we already have would meet the entire 2035 solar target on its own. The panels are not going on the roofs. The panels are going on Lincolnshire because leasing one field from one farmer is easy, and leasing a thousand roofs from a thousand owners is hard. The shortcut is the pasture. You will not be told to stop eating beef. You will simply find that the farm that produced it is now a power station, and the beef in the supermarket has come from Kansas, and it costs more, and the cow is no longer in the field, because the field is no longer a field. Cover the roofs. Leave the pasture.

Please listen to this man!! 🙏🙏🙏
“I’m Iranian, yeah. I was born in Iran.
Islam was never a choice for Iranians when the Arabs conquered us.
If you don’t wanna convert, you either have to kill you or you’re gonna charge you jizya.
They weren’t even allowing us to speak our own language, which was Persian, Farsi.
They beheaded us. They killed us.
They sworded us.
They r*ped our women.
Not only that, they destroyed our cities.
Destroyed our libraries.
Destroyed our religion.
Destroyed everything that we had built thousands of years before even Islam existed.
It happened to many other countries in the Middle East and North Africa
We used to have, like a city like Rome. If not better.
When Muslims came, they destroyed everything.”
So I just think Islam is not compatible with the West.”
His words are a warning so take heed!! 👏

Respect to Robert Jenrick for speaking up for Henry Nowak in Parliament today.
Instead of trying to save his life, police handcuffed him as he was bleeding to death because they heard "muh racism"
They all need prosecuted alongside the coward attacker!

George Floyd dies: “I can’t breathe”.
The Western world in uproar.
Henry Nowak dies: “I can’t breathe”.
Loud silence.
Why?

A foreign billionaire just did the job the entire British press wouldn't.
@elonmusk asked the question every newsroom in this country should have been screaming for months. Who are the officers that handcuffed a dying boy and let him bleed out in the street? Who are they, and why are they still in a job?
Not the BBC. Not Sky. Not GB News. A bloke in Texas with no stake in this country.
They had the story. They let it die. He picked it back up, called it unconscionable, and offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit.
The answer to his question? Silence. Still.
This is Henry Nowak. First year student. Walking home from a night out with his football team. A wounded teenager telling officers he couldn't breathe, and the response was handcuffs, not an ambulance.
A boy dies like this on a British street and it should never have left the front page. It should have been the reckoning that didn't stop until someone answered for it. Instead it took a man who owes us nothing to drag it back into the light.
Not one officer named. Not one suspended. The watchdog is investigating now, and only now, because the pressure came from a website and not a single news desk in this country.
Ordinary people never needed permission to care. They raised over £40,000 for Henry at a charity football match in his memory. That is the Britain that still has a pulse. The one that doesn't wait to be told who's allowed to matter.
When the richest man on earth has to do your journalism for you, what exactly is the British press for?
So let me ask you the question they wouldn't. Did you see Henry's name on the news? Or did you have to find it here?
Henry Nowak. 18 years old. Walking home. He should have made it.

They hate you for noticing the pattern.
During the Summer of Floyd, a Black, drug-addled career criminal died while resisting police after committing a crime, and whole cities burned while we were lectured endlessly about “racism.”
Now Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old White first-year student at the University of Southampton, is stabbed multiple times by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man carrying blades under Britain’s sacred multicultural laws.
Henry was walking home after celebrating with his university soccer team. He was not some violent thug. He was sober enough to be under the legal driving limit, in good spirits, sending videos to his friends, and simply trying to get home.
Digwa stabbed him in the chest and in the back of the legs as Henry tried to flee. Neighbors heard Henry crying that he had been stabbed and was dying.
When police arrived, Digwa played the race card, called Henry a “drunken racist,” and the officers believed him.
Henry told them he had been stabbed. One officer replied, “I don’t think you have, mate.”
Then they handcuffed him anyway.
He died after telling police he could not breathe.
He bled out in the street while his killer stood there, shielded by the very system that should have saved him.
The same political class that screamed for years over Floyd now falls silent.
That silence tells you exactly whose lives matter to them, whose do not, and why they hate you for noticing.

🚨 Conservative MP Harriet Cross TORE into Labour’s energy policy in the House of Commons. 🔥
While Norway’s own Labour government is busy issuing new North Sea oil & gas licences and expanding drilling to secure its energy future, Britain’s Labour government has banned new licensing here at home.
The result? British workers fly to Norway for oil jobs, and we pay billions every year to import Norwegian gas from the very same North Sea basin we refuse to touch.
Harriet nailed it in the Commons:
We’re shutting down our own industry, exporting jobs and cash, and making ourselves more dependent on foreign energy, all in the name of “net zero” virtue signalling.
This isn’t environmental leadership. It’s national stupidity.

I believe if I had fought with armed police officers in an Airport, hospitalising one of them breaking her nose I would have been charged and remanded, I wouldn't of been back on my sofa within 24 hours as was the case at #ManchesterAirport
I also believe fear and appeasement is why in this case these two were.
Same reason police didn't respond when crowds decended onto the local police station that night.
Moreover I also think, as a white British working class man, given the footage I saw, I feel very sure any jury would have come to a quick and easy decision in this case.
Other factors I believe have leaked into decision making in Britain in 2026 and as a white person, given the direction of trave we can all see, you should find this petrifying.
I say this as a former Police officer that genuinely believes both #TwoTierPolice and #TwoTierJustice are operating currently in Britain.

The UK Climate lie.
If the UK trebled emissions and sustained that for a full century, the extra cumulative CO2 would be ~58 Gt. That translates to roughly 0.026°C of additional warming — about 1/40th of a degree, after 100 years.
We have no need for nett zero.

@SandyofSuffolk @SusanStOswald I was born in the early fifties and most of this is true. I think the main difference between then and now is parents want to be their children’s friends rather than parents and they were in charge not us. Ask yourself, and be honest, who’s in charge, you or your children?
English
When I was young.
Children were seen and not heard.
Children were toilet trained by the age of 2 or 3.
Children were put to bed at 6pm after the Magic Roundabout.
Children were taught to read, write, tell the time and tie their shoelaces before starting school.
Children ate what was given to them at mealtimes or they went without.
Children were given the cane or slipper at school for repeated instances of misbehaviour.
Children were given a clip round the ear by the local bobby for scrumping.
Children had to ask for permission to leave the table.
Children were taught to always say please and thank you. And thank you for having me.
Children walked, often a couple of miles, through the snow to school, and the school always remained open.
Children who pinched stuff from shops were apprehended by store detectives and the police came.
Children who got into trouble at school got into even more trouble when they got home.
Children weren't given choices, playrooms or anything other than a birthday party at home.
Children wore hand me downs, not £100 trainers.
Children got pocket money to buy sweets or a comic, not an allowance.
Children couldn't wait to get a job to earn their own money, a part of which was given to mum for 'keep'.
Then I was old.
And these are now just a dim and distant memory for most of us. And unbelievable to many more.
These things will soon be consigned to the annals of time and to the pages of history books. Online, of course. People will gasp. Oh the horrors they endured!
But the degradation of society will continue. And people won't be able to understand why.
But we'll know.
