Let’s just get into this, quickly, before something else horrible happens across the pond and this column goes out of date. 1. The Henry Nowak Case It all happened in December of last year, and it’s taken seven months for this to finally come to a head with the release of the bodycam video of Henry Nowak, 18, a white British teenager who was stabbed to death by a Sikh wielding a ceremonial knife, bleeding out while in handcuffs, and telling police he couldn’t breathe before passing out. Nowak, who was attacked by 23- year-old Vickram Digwa, was stabbed no less than five times. When police arrived on the scene, Digwa told them that Nowak had “racially assaulted” him, and the cops immediately arrested Nowak. And when the teenager told the Hampshire police officers that he’d been stabbed, the response he got was “I don’t think you have, mate.” Then he died. What brought this on? Per Wikipedia… Just before the stabbing, Nowak had recorded Digwa walking away from him during a verbal altercation. According to the court, Digwa later grabbed Nowak’s phone to prevent being recorded, which led to a physical struggle; there were no eyewitnesses to the stabbing itself. Digwa falsely claimed he acted in self-defence after Nowak pursued him, made racist remarks and punched him; there was no supporting evidence for any of these claims, leading the court to conclude that Digwa fabricated these allegations in an attempt to justify stabbing Nowak. The jury convicted Digwa of murder on 28 May 2026. Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur, was found guilty of assisting an offender by hiding the murder weapon. The judge rejected Digwa’s accusations that Nowak had physically or racially abused him. Digwa received a life sentence with a minimum term of 21 years. The police response to the crime was referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. Over the following days, public protests took place in Southampton, in which two people were arrested; police reported that 11 officers and a police dog were injured. The case has roiled British society in ways that another case, the multiple stabbings of little girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport in 2024, had also done. Britain stands on the cusp of widespread civil unrest, with a government on the verge of toppling from within as it is repeatedly bludgeoned by the voters in every election. (RELATED: The Fall of Britain — and the Warning for America) How did things go so wrong across the pond? 2. The Police in Britain Are Merely the Government’s Hired Thugs The breakdown in British society can be directly traced to the widespread refusal of the police to do anything about the “grooming gangs” — a euphemistic moniker for the rape gangs arising primarily out of the U.K.’s Pakistani Muslim population — who systematically harvested working-class white girls as sex slaves, hooking them on drugs and pimping them out to thousands of men. This happened to an untold, but large, number of British native girls, and the human toll of the atrocity, which for all we know is still going strong after two decades or more, is immeasurable. (RELATED: You Get (and Deserve) What You Tolerate. That Isn’t Good News for the UK.) Nothing meaningful has been done. Yes, people have been arrested and imprisoned. A few. The vast majority of the perpetrators have gone free. No meaningful policy changes were made. And the people responsible for looking the other way as the Pakistanis sexually abused a generation of white girls were never really held to account. This applies to the current prime minister, Keir Starmer, whose hands are filthy with this scandal. Take the time to watch this, and you will find yourself in utter disbelief… Let’s recognize that in a sane society, an immigrant community that engages in widespread child rape of the natives of its adopted country could generally expect rough treatment not from the justice system but from the population as a whole. (RELATED: Five Quick Things: The Bell Tolls for Keir Starmer) Meaning that the population wouldn’t resort to courts but to rope and fire in pursuit of a remedy for such conduct. (RELATED: Five Quick Things: A Glorious Revolution Across the Pond?) But at the moment, Great Britain is not a sane society. To the contrary — it’s a society whose leadership actively looked the other way as the most horrific abuses were perpetrated against its ordinary citizens for decades. Rupert Lowe, a member of the British parliament who formed the Restore Party as a consequence of the government’s paltry response to the rape gangs, took to a House of Commons committee room to read from the report of a commission he chaired looking into the mass rape, and the result was as spellbinding as it was horrifying… The British police have been spending the last several years jailing people for heterodox Facebook posts, and yet this has gone on under the noses of police and prosecutors. For the whole of this century. As such, there is little respect left for British law enforcement or the governing class. Videos like this are absolutely legion… Generally speaking, though there are many exceptions, the British people take an attitude toward most police that they’re doing their jobs and it’s their superiors who are to blame for the two-tier policing system. But this is mere politeness, because it’s only a matter of time before this changes. Especially in the wake of the Nowak case. 3. Asking a Population to Consent to Its Immolation Will Ultimately Lead to the Death of the Asker We’re seeing this across the West, and it is beginning to drive the Left into a panic — ordinary white citizens have begun to reject the woke narrative that retributive justice must be visited upon them for the sins of their ancestors. In America, one manifestation of this is being called “black fatigue,” and it’s being seen in a more social and less political context (though that is quite likely to change soon). For example, there are videos of obnoxious black women demanding to be let in front of lines to get off airplanes, and resolute white men vociferously rejecting those demands, and there are videos of white people knocking out black people who attacked them. These aren’t new — what’s different is how prevalent they are, how many shares they get, and how open the responses are from people who simply do not care whether they’re called racists. An example… That card has been overplayed. Starting on Monday in Frisco, Texas, the Karmelo Anthony trial will offer a very good window into race relations in America. Anthony, who by all indications stabbed fellow high school track athlete Austin Metcalf to death over a dispute at a track meet and whose family lived high off the hog on a very rich GoFundMe thanks to a shockingly racist social media response from the black community after the murder, will face a jury with no black people in it after selection was completed this week. Frisco is about half white and 20 percent Asian; the population is only about 10 percent black, so it isn’t some wild injustice that no blacks are on the jury. Nor does his defense have a lot to go on. It’s pretty clear Anthony stabbed Metcalf, and it’s also clear he doesn’t have self-defense going for him. I bring up the Anthony case because in Great Britain, cases like this one (though often not as severe as murder) are utterly commonplace. It’s perhaps more often a South Asian counterparty, rather than someone of African extraction — though in the Southport case the perpetrator was of Rwandan extraction and may or may not have been a Muslim convert — but from the grooming gangs to the Nowak case to the Southport stabbings, crimes against native Brits by immigrants or children of immigrants occur not in a trickle but a flood. And no, black Americans and Pakistani or Nigerian or Syrian immigrants to the U.K. aren’t fully analogous. What unites these incidents is the perception by increasing numbers of the white majority in the U.S., the U.K., France, Spain, Germany, and elsewhere — but especially in the U.K. at the moment — that they’re under attack and their leadership has no interest in protecting them but is actively fueling the siege. Perhaps the most interesting examination of this phenomenon in the U.K. actually comes from a black guy… What do you think the ultimate effects of this will be? Obviously, you’d expect a voter revolt. But what’s changing faster than the politics is the culture. And that’s a recipe for chaos when the institutions don’t reflect the values of the people. 4. What Ails the UK Cannot Be Fixed Through Its Own Corrupted Institutions Back to Lowe; this is a 14-minute speech he gave on the floor of the House of Commons two months ago on illegal immigration in the U.K. and its effects. Two things are most striking from Lowe’s speech. One is that he can’t even get information from the British Home Office on “irregular migrants” who were processed by the judicial system and then simply disappeared, and how many there were. There are at least 53,000 of those, apparently, of recent vintage. (RELATED: Britain’s Boat Crisis Comes Into Focus) The other is how few members of Parliament even cared to listen. Britain’s institutions are completely and totally captured by an ideology that fears and loathes the country’s citizens and traditional culture on a level far beyond anything we’ve seen in the modern era. All of the schools, all of the corporate and governmental institutions, are forcing their people through the DEI meat grinder and punishing “whiteness” and “maleness” and Christianity. It’s an open and hamfisted assault on everything that Britain has been for hundreds of years — and the assault is expressly defended with denunciations of the British empire and British history. There may be an element of accuracy in those denunciations, but not of context; no nation or region colonized by the Brits was as advanced, enlightened, or just as the Brits were at the time of colonization, something the denouncers don’t like to talk about. Hey guys, British police arrest people for praying silently outside of abortion clinics. They arrest people for social media posts that question the government’s two-tier justice system. They arrested Henry Nowak after he’d been stabbed and laid on the ground bleeding. They… — Megan Basham (@megbasham) June 4, 2026 Lowe, who’s been castigated as far-right, isn’t the only one talking about the weaponization of the U.K.’s institutions. Nigel Farage, who heads the Reform Party and whom Lowe accuses of being a paper tiger on the question of immigration and the rape gangs, gave a public statement on the Nowak case and then did an interview on Thursday, which was explosive — Farage said, essentially, that all of Britain’s governance is rotten to the core and weaponized against its people. If Britain’s elections were today, rather than four years from now (it’s possible that a snap election could be called, but that isn’t likely barring a total breakdown of the government), Farage would be the odds-on favorite to be the next prime minister. His party dominated local elections across the U.K. a few weeks ago, routing Starmer’s Labour Party even in some of its staunchest traditional constituencies. And Labour is breaking down, as many of its members and supporters are defecting to the communist Greens Party. Labour won the 2024 parliamentary elections, gaining a massive majority in the House of Commons, with just 33.8 percent of the popular vote amid a fractured electorate. Starmer’s economic policies are disastrous, his foreign policy has shredded, perhaps forever, the special relationship with the United States, and his immigration and crime policies are ruinous. Amid all of that, and despite calls within his party for his resignation, he refuses to go. All of the most prominent Labour alternatives to Starmer are just as insanely to the left as he is; all of them are furthermore less plausible as the nation’s leader. Meaning that an intolerable situation, which has brought the British people into the streets where they’re surveilled and treated as rebels by law enforcement, will only get worse as the media, government, schools, and employers enforce an informal social credit system on those who have resolved to resist the foreign takeover of their society. This center cannot hold. It will break. It will break because the Henry Nowak situation is neither novel nor unlikely to repeat. There will be more rapes, more murders, more lawlessness, and more callous disregard of the safety and quality of life for the people of a proud country brought lower than at any point in a thousand years, not by military defeat but the treason and incompetence of its own leadership class. And the temperature will continue to rise. 5. Pay Attention, Because These Same Problems Are Germinating Here Above, I mentioned the Karmelo Anthony trial. It isn’t a perfect analogy for the Henry Nowak case in the U.K., but the results might be. I haven’t seen remotely enough discussion of what a massive powderkeg this trial could become. Anthony will almost certainly be convicted. The facts are fairly definitive in the case. The public nature of the Metcalf murder and its aftermath, including the shocking greed and profiteering off the crime by the Anthony family, is going to offend the jurors. Except there are people who are anxious to weaponize anything they can along the lines of race in order to stoke black turnout and create political advantage. To wit, here is Democrat activist and attorney A. Scott Bolden, writing last weekend at The Hill… Led by President Trump, the Republican Party has disgracefully embraced white Christian nationalists and is working to turn back the clock on progress America has made in the struggle against racism and other bigotry. Some 83 percent of Black voters are Democrats or lean Democratic, according to the Pew Research Center. Because of this, Trump has demanded Republican officials make it harder for African Americans to vote and elect candidates of their choosing. Trump has successfully pressured Republican-controlled states to engage in mid-decade congressional redistricting that could enable the GOP to gain more than a dozen House seats and reduce the number of Black House members. This is, of course, a lie. Absolutely no one is stopping black people from voting. And the current round of redistricting was inevitable due to a shift in the legal climate — not to mention the provocation by Democrats in blue-state legislatures like New York, which gave the go-ahead for states like Texas and Florida to change their maps. It was happening regardless of Trump’s involvement. (RELATED: ‘Right Here, Right Now’) Bolden continues… Rather than splitting up Black communities into multiple congressional districts to dilute their voting power and reduce the number of African American elected officials, Republicans ought to adopt policies to attract more Black voters. Instead, Trump and his fellow Republicans are doing all they can to win the support of white voters who resent advances African Americans have made in education, employment and elected office. As a result, Republicans have solidified their shameful and un-American status as the anti-Black party. Trump has issued executive orders declaring DEI programs to be illegal discrimination and has succeeded in reducing the number of such programs. The president has demanded that Congress pass legislation that would disproportionately reduce the ability of African Americans to vote and cut funding for social programs that benefit many Black people. He has fired Black federal officials, appointed only one Black person to his 24-person second-term Cabinet, and ordered federal museums and national parks to whitewash America’s ugly history of racism. Rhetoric like this is intentionally inflammatory, it’s anything but novel, and it’s bound to create an environment — an opportunity, almost certainly — in which a trial with no black jurors convicts a high-profile black defendant of a capital crime in a red state and is weaponized to create chaos. In order to gin up turnout in an election. We already know this is standard procedure. It’s been standard procedure for two decades now, by people who believe the same political ideology as Britain’s out-of-touch socialist elite and share their disdain not just for their white citizens but for the minorities and immigrants being wielded against them. Is it absurd to make Karmelo Anthony the next George Floyd? Of course. But it was absurd for George Floyd to become George Floyd, and the Left is even more solicitous of criminals they could politicize into victims since the Floyd fiasco. Except that since 2020, the culture has shifted. White America is becoming just as fed up with being assaulted as racist and evil and deserving of foul treatment over ancestral sins as White Britain is. And if this is not treated responsibly by people with a historical aversion to responsible treatment of news events, Austin Metcalf could become what Henry Nowak has become in Britain. In both countries, as in the rest of the West, most people are utterly desperate to leave race aside and move on. But those who pursue political power as a tool for utopian social change refuse to leave it be. The race war isn’t the answer. Repudiating the race-opportunists of all shades is the only way to peace. But that might turn out to be a fight to the death — first in Britain, and then everywhere.
