The British Police have been accused of Two Tier policing on many occasions … often by people at different points on the political spectrum. A vast number of the British public feel that Muslims are let off the hook all too often – and this was the case, with many examples, for Muslim grooming gangs, which were actively ignored, and even protected, by press, politicians and police. The left also feel aggrieved, with less justification, when the police appear to be over zealous towards them.
All this has come to a head with the recent riots stemming from the Southport stabbing, and the Manchester Airport attack on police. The following is a tweet from Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary and Labour MP for Pontefract, Castleford & Knottingley.
She is quite right to praise the police for dealing with the violent thugs that went on the rampage in response to the Soutport stabbing. The swift response was justified.
However, the response of the police is less than swift, or as severe, in many other cases where it should be, and has been grossly oheavy handed in cases where they should not be involved at all. This isn’t all down to Cooper, as successive governments, Labour and Conservative, have been guilty of not insisting of consistent, fair and unbiased policing.
Let’s make this clear: the rioters were responsible for what they did. There is no excuse. But perhaps the riots could have been avoided had the police been more helpful with their information following the stabbing, because, as is often the case, they went out of their way to avoid being honest about the attacker, who turned out to be a British born 17 year old from Cardiff, though bor, ironically, to Rwandan parents, who, as far as we know, are Christians.
But, the police were so reticent to give out any information that the idiots that took to the streets relied on fake news that the culprit was a Muslim. The thugs attacked a mosque, as a result. The violence may still have errupted, as the culprit was a second generation migrant (after many attacks by migrants), but the mosque may have been spared (or maybe not, given the number of attacks by Islamists and the number of times UK mosques have been reponsible for iciting extremism).
No UK government has been this swift to find, charge, convict and lock up rioters. So, this is celarly politically motivated. I support the swift action, but do not support the governments failure to be as quick to bang up so many other criminals.
To get a sense of the politicisation of these particular riots, take a look at the twotter accounts of the Home Office and some of the agencies involved. I haven’t seen this sort of constant tweeting regarding any other riots.
Compare the response to the riots to other incidents.
Manchester Airport Incident
Muslim men violently attacked and seriously injured police officers. They were released on bail, and not immediately charged, convicted and jailed. Given there is video evidence fo their attack, why is it taking so long, given Cooper’s insistence that police should be protected, and that those that attack them will be dealt with swiftly.
This incident was made more complicated by the fact that a police officer kicked one culprit in the head. This brough the full force of ‘Islamophobia’ victimhood (with an atrociously biased public media event by the second solicitor the culprits hired).
Two-tier policing.
Nandos Police Failure (OR Two Tier Policing)
Bear in mind that while UK police have been responding rapidly to the rioters, tracking them down and jailing them, this is what Jess Phillips has to say:
So, what happened at Nandos? The video shows the attack on the server at Nandos, by what appears to be a Muslim man, with his wife and child.
As if this isn’t bad enough, what we’re really interested in the context of this post is the police response. After much public support, the Nandos server posted this video.
- Nandos manager didn’t throw the family out for their behaviour.
- Female police officer “wasn’t bothered” – So much for support for women from female police officers.
- Police let the culprit go, without taking details. Female officers seems to be frierndly with the wife.
- When they did realise he had hit her, the polcie lied and said she couldn’t press charges. Her account seems typical of police that don’t want to do anything.
- The police supervisor seemed uncooperative, and repeated the response that she couldn’t have the man charged.
- The officers are ‘experienced’, and didn’t understand the man had hit her … despite the video evidence.
This all sounds like totally poor policing. And, given how familiar we are now with police not wishing to confront Muslims, that there is an element of police cowardice here. This of course depends on individual officers, and the extent to which their supervisors are prepared to make them do their jobs.
Whatever the reasons, this is definitely a case of two-tier policing.
Notting Hill Carnival Stabbings
After stabbings at previous carnival events, the police said they were fully prepared for this one … except …
Police errected scanners, but then didn’t use them. The result?
Notting Hill Carnival: Mother fighting for life after being stabbed while with her young child. The victim was one of three people stabbed at the event in west London on Sunday
Why is this not taken more seriously, given the MANY stabbings in London, and after the governments declared intent to deal with criminals harshly?
Police Visit Christian
Many Christians feel under threat from Islam – and justifiably so, given some examples:
- Ahmadi Muslim, Asad Shah, was killed by a Sunni Muslim, supposedly for disrespecting Islam. What’s more, when Ahmadis held a peach vigil, Christin, Jewish and other faith leaders turned up, but Sunni and Shia would not. Bear in mind, Ahmadis are not allowed to call themsleves Muslims in Paksitan … and we have a large Paksitanin Muslim presence in the UK, many from the more extreme factions of Islam.
- Asia Bibi, a Christian in Pakistan, had mobs of Muslims clamouring for her hanging, before she escaped Pakistan.
- Nisar Hussain, a Muslim from Bradford, converted to Christianity, and was brutally persecuted, and eventually beaten, by Muslims.
And, following the stabbing of a Christian bishop in Australia, this Christian voiced his concern to his priest. Then the police turned up, with a psychologist.
It appears thought policing of opinions on Islam is now a thing. As he said, they wouldn’t be turning up at the house of a Muslim – heavn knows they would have enough reason to do so. Two-tier policing.
Police Persecute Christian (2022)
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Christian charity volunteer, received a £13,000 payout and an apology from West Midlands Police after being arrested twice for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Birmingham. Despite being found not guilty after her first arrest in November 2022, she was arrested again in February 2023. Vaughan-Spruce claimed wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, and human rights violations. Her case raises concerns about freedom of speech and thought in the UK, especially as the government considers criminalizing silent prayer outside abortion clinics. Vaughan-Spruce, who leads the anti-abortion group March for Life UK, insists that “silent prayer is not a crime” and warns of increasing threats to Christian expression in the country.
Now, I don’t approve of protests outside abortion clinics, as the women attending are undeer enough stress and they don’t need any more. But, my feelings on this aren’t the point. The point is that the left, including goverment MPs, have been supporting the right to protest so so many other cases, and NOT opposing religious protests by Muslims (such as outside the Batley school). She said her aim was to be “a peaceful and prayerful presence for women in crisis pregnancies”. But, if Isabel was protesting, so what?
The campaigner told the BBC that as a “crisis pregnancy support volunteer” for 20 years, she had offered leaflets about charitable services available to women who would rather avoid abortion.
But she added she “found it particularly shocking” to be accused of “intimidating” action, as she “would condemn anyone who tries to intimidate or harass women”.
In addition, when she was arrested in November 2022, the centre was shut with no service users present, she said.
“I was there simply to pray for women facing very difficult situations and decisions. Prayer isn’t a crime. Neither is standing,” she said.
The city council brought in the PSPO to deter protesters.
So, while Labour where in opposition in 2022, they have been very active in supporting protests they agree with.
Two-tier policing.
Christianity v Islam
Christian Pastor Arrested
One interesting point here is that he is arrested for breaching the peace, because “nobody wants to hear it … you’re disturbing their day”. This is outrageous. It disturbs my day when I see Islamic preaching, prayer groups stopping traffic in the road … there seems to be no prevention of Muslims disturbing our days. As an atheists I could do without any preaching, but at least the police could be even handed …
Two-tier policing.
He was eventually has been offered £2,500 in exemplary damages from the Metropolitan Police in relation to his false arrest, imprisonment and unlawful detention.
Islamic Preachers Arrested … None That I Know Of
Itried to look up the number of Islamic preacherse arrested, in London. I did see a freedom of information request, but with no result. There were some FOI requests made to some Welsh police forces, and they did respond … None were arrested.
There’s a good reason. It’s not illegal to preach.
So, Christian preachers are arrested, Muslim preachers are not. Two-tier policing.
Apparently rocking up at Westminster and having a little get together attracts no police attention.

Where are the mugshots all over social media for these thugs? Where’s the instant conviction?
