@theguardian_world_news JDVance has repeated demonstrated himself a certifiable moron when it comes to European affairs, and his being but a heaetbeat away from the most powerful job in the West is a terrible testament to US mediocracy.

Bille August – „Fräulein Smillas Gespür für Schnee“ (1997)

Geständnis: Mit dem „Fräulein Smilla“ hatte ich eine leidenschaftliche literarische Affäre. Ich kann mich zwar beim besten Willen nicht mehr daran erinnern, wo ich das Buch von Peter Høeg gelesen habe. Doch daran, wie ich es an einem Stück aufgesogen habe, erinnere ich mich, als wäre es erst gestern gewesen. Merkwürdig ist das schon, oder..? (ARD, Wh.)

Lammy challenges JD Vance over remarks linking UK murder to migration

UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said he directly challenged US Vice-President JD Vance over comments he made about the killing of British teenager Henry Nowak. Vance had suggested the fatal stabbing was linked to what he described as a “mass invasion of migrants”, framing the incident as evidence of broader civilisational decline. Lammy rejected this interpretation, stating clearly that the crime had “nothing to do with mass migration” and describing Vance’s claims as a mischaracterisation. Henry Nowak, 18, was murdered in Southampton in December by Vickrum Digwa, a British-born man who falsely claimed he acted in self-defence after alleged racist abuse. Digwa was later convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The case drew national attention, particularly after bodycam footage showed police restraining Nowak while the attacker initially misled officers. The incident also sparked protests and renewed debate about policing, knife crime, and public trust. Lammy said his conversation with Vance was “robust” but “agreeable”, noting their longstanding professional relationship despite clear disagreements. He emphasised that Nowak’s family had urged restraint and unity, warning against exploiting the tragedy to inflame division. Downing Street also criticised attempts to use the case to interfere in democratic discourse or deepen social tensions. The controversy has extended into wider discussions about policing and race. The National Police Chiefs’ Council is reviewing language in an anti-racism document following criticism. Meanwhile, Reform UK figures argued the case reflects systemic issues, including claims about institutional bias within policing, which Lammy partially disputed while acknowledging disparities in the justice system. Overall, the episode highlights tensions between UK and US political narratives on crime, migration, and social cohesion, as well as the sensitivity surrounding high-profile criminal cases.

"It's extraordinary --- interference in domestic politics by country which is supposed to be 1 of our closest allies.

This was sort of thing that happened during Cold War when Soviet Union criticized liberal democracies"
