The Guardian, Britain’s premier leftist newspaper, is dismissing claims of two-tier policing with respect to mostly white anti-mass migration demonstrators versus Muslim and ethnic minority demonstrators—despite alleging there is two-tier policing based on race in its own reporting for years.
The newspaper called two-tier policing a “myth” in an article published on August 6, asserting all claims of the practice are from right-wing sources like anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson and Conservative Party leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick MP.
Users on X (formerly Twitter) noted several articles from The Guardian alleging two-tier policing based on race, with a 2023 article denouncing supposed “institutional misogyny, racism and homophobia” in London’s woke Metropolitan Police. Another Guardian report from earlier this year quotes Gavin Stephens, the chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), claiming that institutional racism in the police has led to two-tier policing against black people.
The newspaper has also claimed black people are more likely to be tasered by British police, again due to racism. It argues the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 were “qualitatively different” to the current disorder, claiming violence was “a relatively marginal feature” of BLM demonstrations despite multiple people being murdered in the United States by BLM rioters, as politicians like now-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer bent the knee to the, along with the British police.
TWO-TIER KIER.
Since anti-mass migration protests broke out in the wake of the killing of three young girls by the son of two Rwandan migrants, two-tier policing concerns have become a major talking point in Britain.
Many, including X owner Elon Musk, have taken to labeling Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer “Two-Tier Keir” for his eagerness to crack down on anti-mass migration protestors, creating a “standing army” of police to break them while largely ignoring armed Muslim mobs rampaging in Birmingham and elsewhere at the same time.
Birmingham police even released a statement this week admitting they largely abandoned the streets of the city as mobs attacked pubs and bystanders, including journalists, because “community leaders” told them they would be “policing within themselves.”
