In April 2026, John Ashby was sentenced to life after being convicted of raping a young Sikh woman, thinking she was a Muslim. Reaction from the right-wing agitators? Nothing.
Wayne Couzens, an off-duty MET officer, stops Sarah Everard, handcuffs and kidnaps her, rapes her, and then murders her and burns her body. Sentenced to whole life in prison. Reaction from far-right agitators? Asked for calm and no attacks to be made on men and to uphold the police as an institution.
Marco Monzo fatally murdered 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, a Black child, on his way to school with a samurai sword. Sentenced to 40 years. Reaction from the far-right agitators? Nothing.
Chas Corrigan, who fatally stabbed Mohammed Algasim in a completely unprovoked attack, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Reaction from the right-wing agitators? Nothing.
Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three young girls at a dance class in Southport, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 52 years. Right-wing agitators’ reaction? To suggest the police were withholding information about the attacker being an asylum seeker. Later found to be false, but it started the first of the Farage race riots that spread nationwide.
Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed Henry Nowak and was sentenced to life in prison. Reaction from far-right agitators? Called for cold, pure anger, resulting in more Farage riots where the police came under attack.
So convince me the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon are not racist opportunists that feed other racists’ anger to push their own narrative. A narrative I don’t think they actually believe in but has gained them notoriety and wealth.
If you support these people, then you are nothing more than gullible fools that thrive on having your racism and hatred validated.
