Nigel Farage demanded "rage" and then the rioting broke out

The details of Henry Nowak’s killing from the court case were deeply disturbing. The bodycam footage that was released after the guilty verdict was even more disturbing.

The behaviour of Vikrum Digwa’s family was utterly outrageous. They arrived on the scene and presented their murdering son as the victim of a racist attack, while the real victim lay dying in handcuffs on the ground. Meanwhile his mother tried to hide the murder weapon.

The murderer has been sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in jail, and Henry’s father spoke outside court to condemn the appalling circumstances of his son’s death, and to say "we want to use Henry’s heart-breaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to help make our streets safer for everyone".

The far-right had other ideas.

Nigel Farage took a few moments away from his main task of hiding from media scrutiny over his undeclared £5 million bung from an overseas billionaire, to use the sentencing of Novak’s murderer to rant about immigration, and call for "pure cold rage".

Farage got the "rage" he wanted later the same day, when Tommy Ten Names raised a mob to head down to Southampton, where he gave a brief speech attacking Muslims (who had absolutely nothing to do with the murder), then fled the scene before the violence kicked off.

The mob were so dumb that they filmed themselves throwing bricks; broken chairs, and wheelie bins at the police, and doing Nazi salutes.

One of the most easily identifiable figures at the front of the riots was some Peaky Blinders looking cosplayer, who turns out to be Luke Jahn of the neo-Nazi National Rebirth Party.

During the Blitz the Nazis repeatedly bombed Southampton, killing 691 people, and destroyed 12.5% of Southampton's housing stock (the highest destruction rate of any British city during WWII).

And now, thanks to the deliberate incitement of right-wing politicians and media (Nigel Farage, Darren Grimes, Rupert Lowe, Tommy Ten Names, Laurence Fox, GB News …) the descendants of the Southampton Blitz survivors are using the tragic murder of a teenager to throw Nazi salutes, and riot alongside avowed neo-Nazis!

There are likely to be arrests and jail terms for several of the rioters, especially the ones filmed on live streams hurling bricks, bins, and broken chairs at the police.

Farage and his ilk won’t care who ends up in jail. They got the "rage" they were inciting, and they’ll be sitting pretty while the gullible fools they incited end up in court.

It’s classic stochastic terrorism: Incite riots with incendiary rhetoric, then sit back and pretend they had nothing to do with the violence when it happens.

We saw it in 2024 (Reform’s "Pervy Plumber" candidate in Makerfield used his now-deleted Twitter accounts to incite the riots), and it’s the same thing all over again.

It’s hard to know what the rioters even wanted. The killer is in jail, and the cops who let down the victim so badly will be investigated by IPCO.

What does smashing up Southampton; doing Nazi salutes; and hurling projectiles at the police achieve, other than giving Farage, Tommy Ten Names, and their ilk the social unrest they were trying to ferment?

Do the rioters really want the "racist police" to treat them like the police treat black and Asian people? I’m not sure they’d actually like the reality of that very much.

The only sure thing is that neither the rioters, nor the right-wing figures who deliberately stoked the unrest, give the slightest damn about Mark Nowak’s plea for his son’s tragic death not to be used to "create further division, hatred or tension".
