UK hits back after Vance’s comments over murder of British teenager – POLITICO

The U.K. government denounced “people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division,” after U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s comments over the death of British teenager Henry Nowak.

Vance blamed the death of the 18-year-old, who was killed last year in the southern city of Southampton, on the West’s “politics of self-hatred” and “the mass invasion of migrants.”

The Nowak’s death has sparked a fierce debate about policing in the U.K., triggered by recently released camera footage that showed police officers handcuffing the teenager after his murderer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely accused him of racism.
