A young university student died from stab wounds while handcuffed — a tragedy whose circumstances alone demanded serious reckoning. Instead, U.S. Vice President JD Vance drew a direct line between the killing and British immigration policy, prompting Britain's deputy prime minister to publicly and pointedly reject the claim. The exchange illuminates something enduring and troubling about modern political life: that grief, before it can be fully felt, is often conscripted into argument.
