    In which case just what did the BLM 'protesters' get up to in their 'largely peaceful protest' that put 27 police in hospital ? It's very odd mon ami.

    In Leeds a couple of weeks ago, when faced with rioting Roma people, the police simply ran away, literally, and left them to it. That's what's meant by two tier policing. When the BLM 'protests' were occurring our police were encouraged to, and actually often did, get on their knees with them. Sympathising with them, showing empathy with them, instead of remaining neutral and simply upholding the law. That's what's known as two tier policing. Instead of demanding the full force of the law be used against the BLM 'protesters', Sir Keir and the Ginger Growler were pictured on the front page of every national newspaper, taking the knee in sympathy. That's what I refer to as two tier government.
    It's the reaction to two tier criminality that worries me mon ami. The white Ian Huntley raped and murdered by drowning two girls from Soham in a bathtub and hardly a whimper except in Cambridgeshire.

    A black African Muslim stabs to death three girls and all hell breaks loose everywhere in the UK. I would not want to be in Starmer and Cooper's shoes right now for all the tea in China.

    Not really sure what the Soham murders have to with it mon ami, but I disagree that there was hardly a whimper, the case was headline news for months on end and Huntley was Public Enemy No 1. There was no need for any civil unrest , demos or protests, the police and the justice system dealt with him soon enough and I believe he is still rotting away in prison somewhere in the North East.
