~~God, the only good person in this story is the dead kid. His parents used it to push that white people are in danger in the UK, and the guy who killed him involved both parents and his brother.~~

Edit: I misread it, and the person talking about white people in danger was Nigel Farage.

I read that the victim's family specifically said they didn't want his death to be uses to promote division and hatred - where have you seen the opposite?

Thank you for pointing that out! I went back to check, and this is the section I misread:

In a statement, he said that "Henry's family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way" and claimed Britain has a "two tier culture where the rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities"

I didn’t see the quote after way, and thought farage was quoting them.
