A report addressing last year's riots related to the murder of Axel Rudakubana states there is "no evidence" of two-tier policing. This finding has drawn skepticism from political figures like Nigel Farage, who asserts that ethnic minorities experience different policing compared to white British individuals. Farage emphasizes the public's belief in systemic inequities within both policing and justice. Additionally, there are rising concerns about policing of free speech, particularly on social media, as certain individuals face prosecution more swiftly than others for similar remarks. Farage's comments underline a broader issues of perceived bias in law enforcement.
Farage said that "most of us think that ethnic minority groups are policed entirely differently to that of white British people," which was witnessed by the British public during the Black Lives Matter protests.
Farage blasted, "I do not accept the findings of the report whatsoever. Not just two-tier policing, but two-tier justice as well. There are people who said very unpleasant things in the heat of the moment on Facebook going to prison very, very quickly - others on the other side of the argument, shall we say, not being treated in the same way."
