This map is for the UK, not the US. We don't have ICE here.

Cop body slams a white man and then arrests him after he was assaulted by black people: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/uk-man-was-assaulted-by-atta...

Of course the black people were let go. After all, they did nothing wrong, they just assaulted a white guy.

It's a reference to the murder of Henry Nowak, a sad example of knife crime which exists in the uk, and of individual police officers who failed to render basic first aid.

The family not only lost their son, but then had to see his name used to further the global hatred of the farage types

I suspect it's linked to this which is the latest example being used.

What's that got to do with "arresting people for the crime of being white"?

That's a pretty common racist dogwhistle, propagated by groups like Farage's Russian owner.

Henry Nowak was white, he was stabbed by a criminal, but then arrested because they believed the murderer

No, that's Deutsche Bahn.

(probably an inappropriate place for a joke, but at least it's about trains)

DB is how you can tell the Germans weren't in league with Mussolini.

Most of the UK. Northern Ireland's network is not included.

Quite right, "UK" is an abbreviation for "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

I could also mention Manx Railways, which are historic heritage lines, but there are at least three railway lines there that are mostly used by tourists and some commuters.

The Isle of Man has a curious relationship with the UK. As a Manxman once said to me, the government there is British when it feels like it and not British when it feels like it.

The Isle of Man is not strictly speaking part of the UK at all.

Like I say, the Manx government is not British when it suits it (offshore banking) but is British when it does suit it (defence). Their relationship is complicated, and often contradictory.

Apart from the Commonwealth Games, there is little effort to set up a proper national sporting infrastructure like the Faroe Islands have. Their football team does not get out much and if they have a national rugby side I've never heard of it.
