Fifteen long months

It is six months since Henry died, and his killer has just been sentenced to prison. It took six months to bring this case to court. In the aftermath of the stabbing the police were shown to be what you might call complicit in his death. They failed to act on their human instincts, preferring to follow the prescribed guidelines of their training. Immobilise the victim, cuff him and ask questions later. By this time it was too late. It might be that poor Henry was already dead by this time. 

Charles Veitch talks about his murder, and the aftermath of the trial and subsequent protests in Southampton. Charlie is a citizens journalist. He doesn't hold back, and in this video his anger is palpable. His emotions are raw, you have to be tuned into his thought processes to experience the sheer frustrations he feels. 18 minutes. 

There are still a lot of questions to be answered, which should come out at Henry's inquest. A date has been set for that. A report from the BBC. 

Resuming a hearing, Hampshire coroner Jason Pegg said the full circumstances surrounding the death on 3 December had not been fully scrutinised. He said a full inquest with a jury would be held on 20 September 2027

The Guardian has done a hatchet job on the story. 

Here is History Debunked talking about why the date of the inquest is so far away. 

 I think most of us know why. They want us to forget about the whole sorry mess. It's a good day for burying bad news, who said that? What a tragic shame that a young man was robbed of his life. There will be many more casualties of the Global push for open borders, one government, one currency, one religion. We are not all the same. 

Have a good weekend. ilona
