British far-right demonstrators have been accused of exploiting the murder of British student Henry Nowak to amplify Islamophobia - despite the incident having no links to Islam or Muslims

In Southampton on Tuesday, a group of far-right individuals rioted in the southern English city following the verdict on Nowak’s case, which convicted Vickrum Digwa of murder and sentenced him to life with a minimum of 21 years in prison.

Videos on social media appeared to show one man saying: “Our nation has been invaded. Many of them bow down to the false God of Islam. This is a Christian nation”.

Digwa is a British Sikh and had stabbed Nowak with a Sikh dagger, also known as a kirpan.

    He seems trustworthy to me. I’d buy gas from him and his associates; ya know, the sweet-talking pretty one, and the one who talks like Foghorn Leghorn.
