"Reform UK leader Nigel Farage lashed out at the British cops who handcuffed a dying man - after his attacker accused him of racism' - speaking on Tuesday. Bodycam footage released on the same day shows 18-year-old Henry Nowak telling cops "I can't breathe" and "I've been stabbed" - and them replying "I don't think you have mate" - before handcuffing him. Farage said: "Henry's family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way. But I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold rage. "He was actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder," Farage went on. "We need a change in culture. Enough of anti-white prejudice. [We need] a promotion of the idea that white lives matter just as much as black lives." Farage also contrasted the reaction to the fury around the death of George Floyd, the Black man killed by a US cop which triggered riots. "Remember career criminal George Floyd, who died in appalling circumstances in Midwest America a few years ago," Farage said. "Remember the reaction to that and the way the police behaved? Within a few days, Keir Starmer was taking the knee. Black Lives Matter exploded all over the country. Churchill's statue was defaced. The cenotaph was vandalised." "And yet, what has the public reaction been from our leaders and politicians, and indeed, to be frank, much of the media to this?" he asked. "Silence. Absolute silence. Proof, if ever there was any, that we're living in a two -tier culture in this country where the rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities." US tech billionaire Elon Musk said the British government "helped murder this poor English boy", calling the police actions "unconscionable" and saying he would fund legal action. The incident took place in Southampton last December. 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years this week for murder. He carried out the attack with a 21cm blade he said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones called for an "urgent review on the carrying of bladed articles for religious and ceremonial purposes" "It was a stressful situation, but mistakes were made and that needs to be uncovered. My job is not to be here to defend the police, my job is to ensure the police are doing what they should be doing," she added."
