UK Public Trust in Law and Order Undermined by Two Tier Policing

[Social Media]

 

The controversy surrounding the Home Affairs Select Committee’s recent report into the Southport riots has reignited debate over whether British policing is truly impartial. For many, the findings—declaring claims of "two-tier policing" as “baseless” and “unsubstantiated”—appear entirely disconnected from the public’s lived experience.

 

The label “Two-Tier Keir” has become a popular moniker for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, reflecting a widespread belief that he applies inconsistent standards depending on political expediency. As one satirical cartoon once captured, Starmer is depicted halting only “some” of an unruly crowd, implying selective enforcement and political favoritism.

 

This perception has not formed in a vacuum. Critics argue that the government has made symbolic gestures toward minority communities while ignoring the cultural and religious traditions of the majority. An Eid message from No. 10 coincided with Mother’s Day, yet there was no public acknowledgment of that cherished family occasion. Similarly, while celebrations like Vaisakhi were recognized, Christian holidays such as Palm Sunday passed without mention. For some, this pattern suggests a deliberate attempt to sideline Britain's Christian heritage.

 

 

Councillor Ray Connolly, whose wife Lucy was imprisoned following a controversial tweet after the Southport tragedy, described a conversation in a café with former Labour voters. Their reason for turning against Starmer? “He’s not for the British.” While simplistic, Connolly suggests it echoes a broader disillusionment.

 

Starmer’s government has also been criticised for failing to fully investigate grooming gangs, with the opposition rejecting a national inquiry. The case of Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley and Minister for Women and Equalities, further fanned the flames when she appeared to backtrack on promises for local inquiries, a move seen as a betrayal by many victims.

 

Public anger was compounded by the treatment of peaceful protestors and online commentators following the Southport attack. While violent rioters were arrested—as they should have been—others, like Peter Lynch, were treated with similar severity for merely expressing outrage. Lynch later took his own life in jail.

 

The government’s determination to crack down on what it calls “far-right narratives” has, in practice, silenced those voicing legitimate concerns. The case of Axel Rudakubana, the Southport attacker, epitomized this. Authorities withheld critical details about his background—including possession of al-Qaeda material and ricin—citing legal constraints. However, these omissions led to widespread distrust and outrage when the truth emerged.

 

Meanwhile, peaceful citizens faced swift punishment. Lucy Connolly remains in prison, denied time with her family, while other incidents involving serious assaults—such as a brawl at Manchester Airport involving two Muslim men—saw delayed or watered-down responses. A senior police source claimed the focus was more on investigating leaks of CCTV footage than prosecuting the offenders.

 

In another overlooked incident, a police officer in Stoke-on-Trent was filmed advising Muslim demonstrators to dispose of weapons at a mosque to avoid arrest—something unimaginable if said to white protestors.

 

Kemi Badenoch voiced concern about this disparity, tweeting that “the perception of bias in the application of the law” was dangerous and “fuelling radicalisation.” She warned that treating individuals like Lucy Connolly more harshly than actual rioters was creating a sense of injustice among the public.

 

Ultimately, whether labelled “perception” or fact, the belief that there are double standards in British policing has taken root. The Home Affairs Committee’s blanket dismissal of such concerns has only deepened suspicion. As one police source put it: “Different containment strategies for different groups” is the new normal.

 

In a country where 65 people a day are recorded for “non-crime hate incidents,” many feel that the line between maintaining public order and controlling public opinion has been dangerously blurred. At the heart of the unrest is a deep yearning for fairness—something that many fear has been lost in the pursuit of appeasing select groups while silencing others.

The above sentence sums it up!

It is quite clear that the Police and Judiciary in the UK are discriminating against their own!

Question is how far is this going?

[Bannoi]

And they wonder why Reform UK is gaining so much support

[JonnyF]

Lucy Connolly (white wife of conservative councillor) remains in prison on a lengthy sentence for a stupid FB post that she took down within an hour.

 

Ricky Jones (ethnic minority Labour councillor) hasn't even gone to trial yet for publicly demanding opponents throats to be slit.

 

It couldn't be more obvious. Tells you everything about the so called justice system. One of many, many examples I could, and have given. 

 

They even tried to put their 2 tier racist sexist policies into the official sentencing guidelines, thankfully postponed at the last minute due to the public outcry. But I'm sure they will come back when they think the time is right. Like the Manchester airport attackers, they only act when publicly shamed into it.

I believe that the mixed race Labour councillor who urged people to cut the throats of people on the right and the Manchester airport Mulsim brothers who broke the nose of an armed female officer have been out on bail for many months now. Whereas Lucy Connolly, jailed (within days of the offence) for three years for a nasty tweet (which she quickly deleted), was refused bail and denied a short home visit because her daughter was having problems understanding why her mom couldn't be there with her. Two tier policing and justice? You bet there is!

Worth reading the facts from Lucy Connolly's sentencing.

Yes - amazing she got any time at all given the mitigating factors.

 

 

Trouble is, she's white and right wing so she still got almost 3 years. 

[jcmj]

Lordy Lordy, this is going to be an even bigger problem as time goes on and the locals become the minority. Sad. 

[Thingamabob]

The reality is that the UK has been badly governed for generations. Two tier policing/sentencing is just a further indication that the downward slide in Britain is going from bad to worse. Very sad to see.

Britain is lost. How they ever thought that the illegals could meld with society is beyond me. It looks like it was done on purpose. The old divide & conquer attitude. Just like when the Brits set up Israel, been a <deleted>e show ever since.

Yet Lord (sic) Starmer goes to the Whitehouse and says he is proud of Britain's free speech. What a lark that is.

Glad my Dad saw the light in '59 and moved us to Canada. Now unfortunately Canada is on the same path. I saw the writing on the wall years ago. Did my time, retired, and got the hell out of there. 

Been married here in Thailand for 10 years now and haven't regretted moving. I keep track of the news and just have another cold one and grin.

Loving my hobby farm in the country eating fresh veggies and free range eggs. We got 5 piglets the other day. Life is good.

Once again misrepresenting the facts Jonny.

Whilst I'll happily also moan about 2-tier Keir, I've got to say that many successive governments have all failed the people of Britain.  Badly.  All the way back to the 1940s.  Especially the British Nationality Act of 1948 and the political reaction (but no action) to the arrival of the Empire Windrush.  I can't really blame the British public for voting in these nonces, there's been no real alternative other than the same old but of a different political colour for basically, like, forever.  A few years back the Lib Dems got into a coalition on the back of a protest vote, but they proved just as useless as everyone else.  Do I want Reform in power?  Not really, but I can't stand more of the same and I doubt they'd be able to actually make the right changes.  Do I mind immigration?  Absolutely not, but the lack of integration and the minorities ruling the political rhetoric is simply ruining the UK.

 

That, and the fact that Mock the Week got cancelled by the BBC...

I don't think they thought that.  But they were hijacked by leftists and globalists to atone for "colonial guilt".  Which isn't a real thing since that's just the way the world worked back then.  Even the colonized were abusing and enslaving each other, long before the Europeans landed on their shores. 

 

Letting all the dinghies in and giving them food, lodging, money and health care is their way of extracting reparations from the innocent taxpayers without calling them reparations.

With the added benefit of destroying the country they hate.

 

If you wanted to ruin the culture, the social cohesion, the economy and the national pride of a country what would you do? Exactly what Labour are doing. 

 

Labour have taken Enoch Powell's warning to the nation and turned it into an instruction manual. 

[Don Giovanni]

I personally can't wait to see the UK become a right-wing populist state.

 

Enough is enough with all these undocumented migrant crossings.

 

Send the army to patrol the beaches and lets see if they still attempt to come..

and if there isn't enough then hire new recruits , The Coastal Border Force, or something along those lines..

 

Give aimless young white brits a job and protect our shores from the illegal invasion that is currently underway.

Jonny only presents facts selectively Chomps.

I’m surprised that he didn’t use the most obvious example of a two tier judiciary viz that rich white guy’s driving expensive machines are allowed, unpunished, to bring London to a standstill because they don’t want to pay half the Inheritance tax that we ordinary millionaires have to pay yet environmental protesters are jailed for 5 years for just talking about bringing a motorway to a standstill.

Yup. Two tiered indeed.

The fact that you think all farmers are "rich white guys" just further shows your ignorance.

 

By "talking about bringing a motorway to a standstill" I assume you mean plotting/organizing disruption to 700,000 vehicles across London for 4 days? 😆

Let's wait and see what your favourite instigator of throat slitting, Ricky Jones is sentenced to, if it ever goes to trial of course. Perhaps they'll delay it again in the hope the official 2 tier sentencing guidelines are in place by then?
