“Vice
President JD Vance has spoken out against “the politics of self-hatred and the
mass invasion of migrants” in the United Kingdom after the brutal death of
student Henry Nowak, the second U.S. intervention on “civilisational decline”
in Britain in 24 hours.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer attempted to kick
back against the President Donald Trump Administration and American concern for
the country’s descent into chaos on Friday night, characterising comments from
Washington as political interference and even an attempt to “stir up division
on our streets”.
U.S. Vice
President JD Vance made one of the present Trump Administration’s most strident
interventions on the general direction of British society of this presidency
yet, expressing the only and proper response to the death of student Henry
Nowak — who bled to death after being stabbed but was handcuffed by police as
he died because his killer filed a false racism report — is “righteous anger”.
Picking up on the theme of civilisational decline expressed
by the U.S. State Department the previous evening, Vice President Vance wrote
of events in the United Kingdom:
Henry Nowak 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.
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: nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died.
May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
VP Vance reminded that routing these problems is actually
technically feasible but requires political will. The U.S. government under
President Trump has proved “stopping the flow of mass migration and defending
national sovereignty” can be done, and that “Anything else is an excuse”.
Laying
out the very fundamentals, Vance said: “It is because we love the West that we
want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our
children.”
These remarks followed others on Thursday night from the
U.S. Department of State, as concern about the death of Henry Nowak and the
deep failings of the state and nation it underlined grew too great to pass
unremarked. As reported, a statement identified “ideological conditioning and
two-tiered policing” as “glaring symptoms of civilizational decline” in the
United Kingdom. These developments should be “rejected across the West”, it
said.
Those remarks triggered some outrage in the British
political sphere, given that establishment sentiment remains very much in
favour of what is called multiculturalism. Downing Street clung to the official
position that two-tier policing simply doesn’t exist, while the Liberal
Democrat Party pushed the government to go further and called for the American
ambassador to be summoned for a dressing down.
The latest intervention by Vice President Vance prompted
another round of discomfort in Westminster, with the Prime Minister’s spokesman
outright accusing the U.S. of trying to interfere in Britain’s democracy. They
said, The Sun reports: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere
in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.
The leader of the anti-Brexit Liberal Democrat party, Ed
Davey, also feigned outrage, saying: “We all need to resist attempts like this
to politicise Henry Nowak’s death and divide our country – whether they come
from MAGA politicians like Vance or their cronies here in the UK.”
However, many noted that British politicians seemingly have
shown no hesitancy in interjecting during similar cases in the United States,
including in the wake of the death of George Floyd in 2020, following which
then Labour Party leader Starmer infamously took a picture of himself “taking
the knee” in Westminster in a show of open support for the Marxist Black Lives
Matter Movement.
Commenting on the apparent double standard, Under Secretary
of State Sarah B. Rogers said: “Very fortunately, protesters mourning Nowak
have not ignited infrastructure, murdered anyone, or otherwise cut an
antisocial swathe of destruction through the UK. To the extent any of them care
what America thinks, we urge them to remain peaceful—and we expect they will.
Just like Henry Nowak and just like Americans, ordinary Brits have been
slandered as racist. Thus violent. They’re not.””
