We assume that vice-president JD Vance was playing American political games when he chose to opine on the murder of Henry Nowak, the Southampton student. Mr Vance’s contribution was arrogant, ignorant and offensive.
He claimed that the 18-year-old’s death was the mark of a dying “civilisation” and that he would still be alive today “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.
