Anti-white racism is embedded in our institutions. It must end.

The murder of Henry Novak and watching that body cam footage, it's clear this is one of the most horrific catastrophes in modern history in terms of British policing.And there are many, many examples where police officers are totally unfairly maligned, unfairly attacked, and we at Reform have been the first ones to make that point.one of those examples, the murder of Henry Novak and that body cam footage, the circumstances of his death are clear evidence of the anti -white racism that exists, that that is endemic inside many of our institutions, including and especially the police right now.And if you're in any doubt about that, I'd make point number one that, you know, when the police turned up on the scene, you just heard the 999 call.They turned up on the scene because poor Henry had been accused of being racist.And when Henry as he lay dying and bleeding out said i've been stabbed he said that a number of times and then he couldn't breathe the police responded by and i'm afraid i can barely sleep thinking of these words um he said that the police responded saying i don't think you have mate i don't think you have me and so When an ethnic minority accused a white man of racism, there was no burden of proof required.

It was just taken as read by the police.It was taken more seriously than the claim from, the accurate claim from a dying Henry that he had been stabbed, for which there clearly was a burden of proof.And I find that absolutely extraordinary.And the last point I want to make on this in terms of this opening segment is that the If anyone is in any doubt about the fact that this is directly downstream from structural anti -white racism in Britain, go and look at Hampshire Police's website, where they proudly talk about their race action plan.And if you go and read that, I genuinely encourage anyone watching this programme to go and read that page on their website.What you will see is that the police response to

Henry's murder was no aberration as tragic and horrific as it was.It is a direct result of the fact that the race action plan orders them, trains them to be, quote, anti -racist in everything that they do, and effectively trains them to treat accusations of racism as one of the, if not the biggest concern for the police.And the deepest and tragic irony here, Michelle, is that that race action plan specifically cites the murder of George Floyd in America as the reason it was implemented.
