Henry Nowak's killing by a Sikh man carrying a "ceremonial" blade in December 2025 has sparked a reckoning in the UK, but for media outlets, the real problem isn't the killing or the racially motivated police response, but the "far right."
Vigils have sprung up in Southampton where Nowak was killed. In Stockholm, Sweden, a memorial was held offering a moment of silence for Nowak.
Yet for The Guardian, the real problem is the "far right politicians," such as those they identify in Poland, who have said that the murder shows "Britain's descent into the depths of the earth." They claim that Nowak's family has called for their son's death not to be politicized and that those calling out the racial bias used against the white boy by British police are doing them a disservice.
In reality, those calling out that bias and the egregious treatment of Nowak first by his killer, then by police, are hoping and praying that it doesn't happen again. Nowak's father is of Polish ancestry.
Confederation of the Polish Crown member Marta Czech called for a "defense of Poles in our country and abroad," which apparently for The Guardian is a bad thing. "We don’t have politicians who will care about Polish interests, or Poles, who will represent our values abroad, people with a Polish face, with a Polish passport. We need to be ready to repress these attacks. We must unite against such attacks," she said.
Polish MEP and Viktor Orban ally Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik blamed mass migration for the presence of the Sikh and his family in the UK. Us Vice President JD Vance made a similar assertion. The killer's mother was also convicted after she arrived on the scene of the killing before the police and hid the murder weapon.
"This story symbolises Britain’s descent into the depths of the earth … How brainwashed do you have to be with leftist propaganda and political correctness to react this way? And how can you even bring your country to such a state with mass immigration that undermines security?" Zajączkowska-Hernik said. "White lives don’t matter? Has the world reached this point, brainwashed by this suicidal, leftist ideology?"
In France, Éric Zemmour said, "This horrific murder is a metaphor for what the West is experiencing: the native is treated as a suspect, while the immigrant perpetrator is shielded by the religion of anti-racism, which paralyses government officials and police officers. This time, there will be no kneeling. Europeans, in their own homeland, are not allowed to do so," he said.
In Spain, Santiago Abascal said, "The mainstream media, silent, as usual ... The globalist elites who have spawned this madness, also looking the other way. There are many responsible parties and accomplices in the atrocities we see daily in Europe. They should all be brought to justice, and one day they will be."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke out against the protests, saying that they were politicizing Nowak's murder. He notoriously "took a knee" for George Floyd in 2020 and barely spoke out against the killing at all, except to criticize those who spoke out against it.
Vickrum Digwa was found guilty of Nowak's killing and sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole after 21 years, but the circumstances of the police response to the knifing attack have brought the UK and European allowances made for race under scrutiny.
Digwa stabbed Nowak in the street, chased him down as he fled, then told police that he had been "racially abused" by his victim. Police, in part due to mandatory DEI training and guidance favoring racial minorities that was based on George Floyd's Minneapolis 2020 death in police custody, believed Digwa and dismissed Nowak's claims that he'd been stabbed. They cuffed him, arrested him, and dragged him through the street as he bled out.
