Nigel Farage says 'White lives matter too' in Henry Nowak address
politicsJun 2, 2026
During a national address about Henry Nowak's murder, Nigel Farage said "White lives matter too." The phrase "White lives matter" originated as a white supremacist slogan used in direct response to the Black Lives Matter movement. By invoking that slogan, Farage framed the murder in explicitly racial terms and normalised language tied to extremist movements. This matters because that framing can shape public perceptions of victims and influence political and policy responses to racially charged violence.
