Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office condemned U.S. Vice President JD Vance for blaming immigration for the death of 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak, who was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa in Southampton. Digwa, who is Sikh, falsely claimed he was the victim of a racist assault by Nowak (who was white), and police initially treated the wounded Nowak as a suspect before realizing he was the victim. The case involves complex issues of false claims, police handling, and immigration politics.
