Politics: yet another brick in the wall

By Richard North - June 6, 2026

US Vice-president JD Vance has claimed the “invasion of migrants” in Europe is to blame for the murder of Henry Nowak. Vance says he died “the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit”.

“His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Vance continues: “Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response – the only response – is righteous anger”.

“One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world”, he adds, “is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse”.

“It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it”, he concludes. “We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody – nobody – should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul”.

Vance is right, despite Starmer’s reaction, accusing the US trying to interfere in British democracy.

Perhaps Starmer has forgotten that Labour Party activists participated in a voluntary grassroots campaign for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election. I doubt Trump has forgotten, his campaign in October 2024 having filed a legal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) accusing the Labour Party of “blatant foreign interference”.

But Vickrum Digwa is just another brick in the wall – another immigrant or immigrant-heritage murderer who over the last decade or so has spilt blood on our streets.

Just outside that time framework were Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale who in May 2013 rammed Fusilier Lee Rigby from behind with a car, knocking him unconscious, as he was walking back to his barracks in Woolwich. They then used knives and a meat cleaver to stab and hack him. Adebolajo made a serious and almost successful attempt to completely decapitate Rigby with a meat cleaver.

One of the more notorious mass killers was Salman Abedi, a British-born son of Libyan refugee parents, who carried out the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds during a concert.

Then there was the horrific case of Eltiona Skana, a 30-year-old Albanian asylum seeker with a severe history of paranoid schizophrenia, who attacked seven-year-old Emily Jones who was riding her scooter in Queen’s Park, Bolton, on Mother’s Day in March 2020.

Emily had spotted her mother jogging nearby and began scooting toward her when Skana jumped up from a bench and slit her throat with a craft knife in a completely unprovoked attack. She was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term to be served in a high-security hospital.

In June 2020, Khairi Saadallah, a Libyan national who initially arrived in the UK on a tourist visa before subsequently launching a formal claim for asylum. While his status and legal appeals progressed, he executed a mass stabbing attack in a Reading public park, murdering three men, and was given a whole-life prison term.

A year later, there was Ali Harbi Ali, a British citizen of Somali heritage who assassinated British MP Sir David Amess at a constituency surgery in October 2021, subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

In March 2022, Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, an Afghan asylum seeker who arrived in the UK after fleeing European law enforcement, having already been convicted in absentia of murdering two fellow migrants in Serbia, stabbed 21-year-old Thomas Roberts to death in Bournemouth following a brief dispute over an e-scooter and was sentenced to life with a minimum of 29 years.

Ahmed Ali Alid, a Moroccan asylum seeker stabbed a 70-year-old man to death and injured his housemate in Hartlepool in October 2023. He was sentenced to life imprisonment

Then there is the notorious Valdo Calocane, the Guinea-Bissau national who moved with his family to Portugal before arriving in the UK at age 16. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he carried out the 2023 Nottingham attacks, stabbing university students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar and school caretaker Ian Coates to death. He was sentenced to a high-security hospital order.

He was followed by Axel Rudakubana, a British-born citizen of Rwandan heritage, born in Cardiff. He carried out the 2024 Southport stabbings at a children’s dance workshop, murdering three young girls (Elsie Dot Stancombe, Bebe King, and Alice da Silva Aguiar) and injuring several others. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 52 years.

Then we had Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese national who arrived in the UK via a small boat and was staying at an asylum-vetted hotel. In October 2024, he stalked hotel worker Rhiannon Whyte to a Walsall railway station, stabbing her 23 times with a screwdriver. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 29 years.

Safi Dawood was an Afghan migrant who originally entered the UK hidden in a lorry in 2020. In October 2025, in Uxbridge, West London, he carried out a triple stabbing where he attacked his landlord before moving into the street to fatally stab 49-year-old dog-walker Wayne Broadhurst to death. His trial is scheduled to begin in July.

These are but a small sample of the murderers who have slaughtered English people. The victims have in common the fact that, had successive governments not allowed us to be overtaken by third-world retards in wave after wave of mass immigration, they would still be alive.

In addition to objecting to people trying to interfere in our democracy, Starmer complains that they are “seeking to stir up division on our streets”. The prime minister adds: “Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country”.

But that is not who we are as a country. England is a divided nation, riven by sectarian strife, beset by horrific murders, an epidemic of gang rapes, shoplifting out of control, phone theft, bicycle theft, cannabis farms, heroin-dealing, insurance fraud, money laundering and much, much else.

England did not used to be like this, and the deterioration is entirely down to mass immigration. Yet Starmer bleats about “division”. The division is caused by mass immigration – something we were never consulted about and which was foisted on us with no democratic mandate. Then, to add insult to injury, he blathers about the US interfering with our democracy.

The extent of that “interference”, though, is plain to see. The State Department has posted a short message on X, saying: “Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West”. It adds: “The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time”.

And who is to say that is wrong? When we have the prime minister and the political classes – to say nothing of the progressives and lefties – who are in denial about the Frankenstein monster of a state they have created, it needs a “candid friend” on the outside to call it for what it is.

Denying the obvious is not going to end the division. And nor is shutting down comment on the latest immigrant-related murder – keeping the lid on things until the next one. The English have had enough.
