The tragic murder of student Henry Nowak in Southampton last year has been seized upon as a cause celebre by the far right – even though Henry's father Mark said he didn’t want the incident to be used to create further hatred, division or tension. Police handcuffed Henry as he lay dying, following false claims by his killer Vickram Digwa that he had been the victim of a racist attack.

Amid claims of 'two tier policing', Stephen Yaxley Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) spoke at a protest this week in which 11 officers were injured. Nigel Farage called for ‘pure cold rage’ in response to Henry’s death.

Adrian Goldberg hears from Tippa Napthali who fought for years to secure justice on behalf of his cousin Mikey Powell - who suffocated in a police van in Birmingham 2003 - and Kojo Kyerewaa, national organiser for Black Lives Matter UK.
