Police chiefs pulled armed officers AWAY from Downing Street at the height of violent Black Lives Matter protests to appease hostile mob that left dozens of cops injured - as Met is accused of 'two-tier policing' - "Police chiefs have been accused of capitulating to a Black Lives Matter mob by pulling armed officers away from the gates of Downing Street at the height of violent protests. Senior officers put the security of No 10 in jeopardy by their ‘reckless’ order, say critics who accuse Scotland Yard of appeasing the hostile rabble. The extraordinary decision, exposed by The Mail on Sunday today, came as an anti-racist rally in Whitehall turned ugly in 2020. Met police chiefs were so worried about the violent crowd attempting to breach the barrier to Downing Street that they commanded elite armed officers to withdraw, fearing activists might grab their guns and use them, court papers reveal. It is the first time the Met has admitted that armed officers were deliberately taken away from Downing Street during a riot. The clashes, which took place when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister, left more than two dozen police officers injured, including a policewoman hospitalised after her horse bolted. Three days after the troubling scenes, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was photographed with his deputy Angela Rayner taking the knee in support of BLM. Senior politicians reacted with fury last night, describing The Mail on Sunday’s revelations as evidence of ‘two-tier policing’ and demanded an immediate investigation... Tobias Ellwood, the former Tory MP hailed a hero for trying to save PC Keith Palmer’s life in Westminster during a terror attack in 2017, said: ‘I’m flabbergasted. Downing Street along with Parliament is the heart of our democracy. In no circumstances should there ever be a moment where our ability to defend it is reduced. Otherwise what is the purpose of even having a security operation if it so easily collapses? ‘This warrants a far deeper investigation and to ask were there political judgements here that overrode operational decision-making.’ Conservative MP Neil O’Brien contrasted the order to withdraw the Met’s heavy-handed treatment at the peaceful vigil in March 2021 for Sarah Everard, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by Met Police officer Wayner Couzens. ‘It’s horrendous to think that incredibly violent people who ended up nearly killing a female police officer were being pandered to at every turn by the Establishment and politicians like Keir Starmer. There’s a dotted line between people like Starmer taking the knee and the police ceding territory to the mob.’... Rioters clashed with mounted police in Whitehall and Parliament Square. Flares and missiles were hurled, and horrific footage showed PC Nicky Vernon being knocked from her horse, Rocky, when she hit a traffic light after thugs threw objects at them. Now PC Vernon, who suffered neck and back injuries, is suing Scotland Yard, claiming the withdrawal of the armed police guard contributed to the disorder which led to her injuries... Scotland Yard said they were right to stand down the elite protection officers, because of the risk of guns being fired... Downing Street is one of the most heavily protected places in the UK. Gates block entry to the street, which is constantly patrolled by armed police from the diplomatic protection group. There is also usually at least one police officer stationed outside the door of No 10... A total of 27 Met Police officers were injured during the anti-racism demonstrations. Protesters clambered on Winston Churchill’s memorial statue in Parliament Square and daubed ‘racist’ on the plinth...
Back in June 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests in London were described as ‘largely peaceful’. That description came from none other than the Metropolitan Police. Now we know the extraordinary truth: that the force cravenly submitted to protesters and left the seat of British democracy vastly more vulnerable. What happened at Downing Street was not a tactical retreat. This was not General Kutuzov pulling back to successfully suppress Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. Removing armed officers was a straightforward dereliction of duty, which could have had grave consequences. When the police are faced with a rioting mob, retreating should not be an option... this is not the only time that officers – even unarmed ones – have retreated in the face of an angry mob. Last July, police withdrew from the Harehills area of Leeds after social services removed four Roma children from their family and riots broke out. Then, a couple of weeks later, unrest exploded in Southport following the murder of three little girls. Faced with gangs of far-Right white rioters, did police retreat on this occasion? Not an inch. More officers were drafted in from neighbouring forces... If the issue is that the Metropolitan Police doesn’t have enough armed officers, then that should be put right. But the failure to properly police riots is not so much an issue of numbers. The BLM riots occurred during the pandemic when there seemed no shortage of officers to hand out fines to people sunbathing in parks or organising ‘parties’ at work. Their failure is more a matter of attitude."
If the police don't protect people from violent rioters, they don't risk violence with them. Brilliant.

Two-tier policing claim is extremism, Home Office review suggested
Suella Braverman accuses police of double standards on rallies - "Suella Braverman has launched a full-throated attack on policing “double standards” after the head of the Metropolitan police gave the go-ahead for a pro-Palestine march on Saturday, Armistice Day. The protests, which have brought hundreds of thousands of people to the streets of London, were described by the home secretary as an unchallenged “assertion of primacy by certain groups – particularly Islamists”, in an article in the Times published on Wednesday night. She claimed that unnamed police chiefs appeared to care more about avoiding “flak” from tackling such “mobs” than ensuring public safety, in what will be taken as thinly veiled critique of Britain’s most senior officer, Sir Mark Rowley. “Unfortunately, there is a perception that senior police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters,” she wrote. “During Covid, why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet Black Lives Matters demonstrators were enabled, allowed to break rules and even greeted with officers taking the knee? “Rightwing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law? I have spoken to serving and former police officers who have noted this double standard. “Football fans are even more vocal about the tough way they are policed as compared to politically connected minority groups who are favoured by the left. “It may be that senior officers are more concerned with how much flak they are likely to get than whether this perceived unfairness alienates the majority. The government has a duty to take a broader view.” In a direct challenge to Rowley, and using language that is likely to provoke further claims of political interference in operational matters, Braverman went on: “If the march goes ahead this weekend, the public will expect to see an assertive and proactive approach to any displays of hate, breaches of conditions and general disorder.” On Tuesday, defying days of heavy political pressure, Rowley said there were insufficient grounds for him to ban Saturday’s pro-Palestine march under section 13 of the 1986 Public Order Act. The last group to have a ban imposed upon one of its planned marches was the far-right English Defence League... Braverman also made reference to a report in the Daily Telegraph that identified a link between a former member of Hamas and one of the six groups that have been organising the recent protests. “I do not believe that these marches are merely a cry for help for Gaza,” she wrote. “They are an assertion of primacy by certain groups – particularly Islamists – of the kind we are more used to seeing in Northern Ireland. Also disturbingly reminiscent of Ulster are the reports that some of Saturday’s march group organisers have links to terrorist groups, including Hamas. “There will be time for proper discussion about how we got to this point. For now, the issue is how do we as a society police groups that insist that their agenda trumps any notion of the broader public good – as defined by the public, not by activists. The answer must be: even-handedly.”"
Even their boss knew there was two tier policing
Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages - "Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety” to others via the internet, telephone or mail. Custody data obtained by The Times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988... Officers from 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests in 2023, the equivalent of about 33 per day. This marks an almost 58 per cent rise in arrests since before the pandemic. In 2019, forces logged 7,734 detentions. The statistics have provoked criticism from civil liberties groups that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech using “vague” communications laws. As director of public prosecutions, Sir Keir Starmer issued Crown Prosecution Service guidance stating that offensive social media messages should only lead to prosecution in “extreme circumstances”. Analysis of government data shows that the number of convictions and sentencings for communications offences has dramatically decreased over the past decade. According to Ministry of Justice figures, there were 1,119 sentencings for Section 127 and Section 1 offences in 2023, down by almost half since 2015 when 1,995 people were found guilty of the crimes. There are several reasons for arrests not resulting in sentencing, such as out-of-court resolutions. But the most common is “evidential difficulties”, specifically that the victim does not support taking further action. There has been an outcry about police “overreach” and fears that officers could be “curtailing democracy” by arresting people for malicious communications offences. The Times reported last week that Hertfordshire police sent six officers to detain a couple and put them in a cell for eight hours after their child’s primary school objected to the volume of emails they sent and “disparaging” comments made in a WhatsApp group. Maxie Allen, 50, and Rosalind Levine, 46, were questioned on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property. After a five-week investigation, the police concluded that there should be no further action. A police officer also said that elected officials could be treated as harassment suspects if they continued advocating for the couple. Andy Prophet, chief constable of Hertfordshire, defended the arrests, saying that the force had given warnings and they were lawful, although he conceded that “with the benefit of hindsight we could have achieved the same ends in a different way”... The total arrest figures are likely to be far higher because eight forces failed to respond to freedom of information requests or provided inadequate data, including Police Scotland, the second largest force in the UK... Jake Hurfurt, head of research and investigations at Big Brother Watch, a civil liberties group, said the increase of arrests for communications offences is “seriously concerning”. He said: “Police look to be wasting countless hours on arresting people for posting things online that, while offensive, are not illegal. Heavy-handed use of vague communications offences is a threat to everyone’s freedom to express themselves online. “Police must remember that free speech is a right, and only intervene when absolutely necessary, because needless arrests for social media posts have a chilling effect that will cause the decline of our democratic culture. “These statistics are seriously concerning and the home secretary should instigate an independent review into police arrests for online speech and the health of free expression in the UK.” Toby Young, the founder and director of the Free Speech Union, said his organisation was helping half a dozen people who were being prosecuted for section 127 or section 1 offences. They include David Wootton, 40, who is appealing against a conviction for dressing up as the Manchester Arena bomber, Salman Abedi, for a Halloween party last year... “Given that only 11 per cent of the violent and sexual offence cases in England and Wales were closed after a suspect was caught or charged in the year to June 2024, a steep decline on previous years, it seems extraordinary that the police are wasting so much time arresting people for hurty words. “Sir Keir Starmer emphatically denied there is a free speech crisis in Britain when JD Vance raised this with him at the White House, but this data suggests we have a serious problem.”"

‘Two-tier’ police chiefs say ethnic minorities can be treated differently - "Police chiefs have been accused of “two-tier justice” over anti-racism guidelines that tell officers they do not have to treat ethnic minorities the same as other members of the public. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said the guidelines amounted to “unacceptable social engineering” when everyone should be treated equally before the law. The Police Race Action Plan, drawn up by police chiefs, states that it is the police who criminalise people and that arrest rates should be equalised between groups. It comes following a row over “two-tier justice” guidelines drawn up by the Sentencing Council, which advised courts to “normally consider” ordering a pre-sentence report about an offender if they were “an ethnic minority, cultural minority, and/or faith minority community”, transgender, young or female. The council backed down on Monday after being threatened with emergency legislation by Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary. The police guidance, issued by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing, states that the commitment by forces to racial equality meant “producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups” by responding to their specific needs. It adds: “It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality)”. The guidelines say police should be committed to “an end to racial disparities” in policing outcomes “however seemingly impossible both may be”. The police chiefs also say forces must “become anti-racist”, with the guidelines claiming that black people are “criminalised” and that it is “not enough” for officers to be merely not racist."

Allison Pearson cleared by press regulator after police complaint - "Essex Police is facing criticism after the press regulator threw out its complaint about The Telegraph’s reporting of its investigation of Allison Pearson. The force claimed that a column by Pearson and a news report of a visit made to her home by officers on Remembrance Sunday last year were inaccurate, but the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) found that its complaint was without foundation. Mark Lewis, Pearson’s lawyer, said he was “bemused as to why the police found it appropriate to file a report to a regulator” in the first place. Pearson was visited by two officers at her home, who told her she was being investigated over a tweet she had posted on X one year earlier – and subsequently deleted – that a complainant claimed had stirred up racial hatred. The Essex force claimed that The Telegraph’s reporting was inaccurate because Pearson had said she was told she was being investigated for a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), when the force said she was actually the subject of a criminal investigation. But Ipso said The Telegraph had correctly reported Essex Police’s written statement that the inquiry was into a criminal offence, notwithstanding Pearson’s belief that she had been told on her doorstep that it was a NCHI."

Pro-Palestinian protester in two-tier police row is Islamist refugee - "A pro-Palestinian activist who evaded terror charges in a two-tier policing row is an Islamist propagandist granted asylum in Britain, The Telegraph can reveal. The demonstrator, who avoided prosecution after chanting “I love the 7th of October” at a London rally last year, can now be named as Mohammad al-Mail, a 27-year-old Kuwaiti national granted refugee status in the UK in 2017. In May, The Telegraph published footage of Mr Mail glorifying the Hamas massacre and shouting, “I like an organisation that starts with H” through a megaphone at an anti-Israel protest in Swiss Cottage, north-west London, last September. He was later arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences but never charged. By contrast, a Jewish man who attended a counter-protest on the same day and briefly held a placard mocking Hezbollah’s leader was charged after police claimed the sign could cause “distress” to terrorist sympathisers. It took eight months for the Crown Prosecution Service to admit there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. The Telegraph can now reveal that Mr Mail claimed he avoided prosecution by telling counter-terrorism officers that the “H” in his chant stood for the Home Office, rather than Hamas. In footage obtained by The Telegraph – which police confirmed they had not seen – Mr Mail appears to boast of misleading investigators. In an Arabic-language podcast aired in March, he said the case “fell apart” after he gave what appeared to be a knowingly false answer when asked: “Who do you mean by the letter H?” He said: “Immediately, I answered, ‘It could be the Home Office’, you know, the ministry of the interior. ‘I love the ministry of the interior’, and so on. “Truly, as the saying goes, ‘The worst calamity is the one that makes you laugh’”, he joked, adding that officers “wanted to delve into the depths of my conscience to know what I truly believe”... Mr Mail’s support for terror groups was not limited to the Sept 20 protest. Since being granted asylum, he has used the Upper Hand Organisation, his campaign group, to promote an Islamist ideology fundamentally at odds with British democratic values. In the same podcast, he urged supporters to “seize opportunities” created by the October 7 attack – the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. “Not every day is like October 7,” he said. “If an opportunity arises, we must fully exploit it. If you strike, make it hurt.” His website hosts a string of Islamist manifestos and incendiary texts. He has criticised Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and HTS, the Syrian group, for being too pragmatic and failing to advance global jihad. He wrote that such groups have “ultimately succumbed to the international system and failed to bring about significant change to the concept of jihad itself – jihad, which is understood as a struggle to establish Sharia on earth”. Mr Mail has promoted the jihadist cause online and distributed leaflets and stickers at protests. On Aug 17 2024, the Upper Hand Organisation issued a pamphlet titled Wake Up! Protect the Honour of Islam, which portrayed the Israel-Palestine conflict as a “war of faith”. It glorifies jihad, urges mobilisation, and repeats the slogan “a new Khaybar awaits” – a phrase often used to incite violence against Jews. The document claims his group is “committed to channelling resources toward strategic projects to achieve Islamic dominance”. On Nov 11 2024, Mr Mail announced he would surrender to police over his chants but told supporters to “continue the path of jihad”. He described peaceful Muslims as “slaves and dwarves” and issued a warning to Britain: “What is coming to you is terrifying – either our annihilation or yours.” In recent months, he has used his platform to lobby Parliament to de-proscribe Hamas and divert taxpayer funds to sharia courts. He also opposes the banning of child marriage, arguing it discriminates against 16 and 17-year-old Muslim girls. In a statement to The Telegraph, the Met said it was unaware of Mr Mail’s apparent admission and record of Islamist advocacy until contacted by this newspaper... The case has been condemned as an example of two-tier policing, deepening embarrassment for Scotland Yard and raising concerns over national security among senior politicians and extremism experts. On Friday evening, Chris Philp, the shadow policing minister, said that, in light of The Telegraph’s latest revelations, “the police must urgently re-investigate the incident with a view to re-arresting the man concerned”. He added: “I am deeply worried that someone came here, was granted asylum and then abused the UK’s generosity by expressing extremist views. This is why our human rights and asylum laws need to be changed.” His comments were echoed by Lord Walney, the Government’s former extremism tsar, who described the latest evidence uncovered by this newspaper as “disturbing and raises serious questions for the Metropolitan Police”. “The fact officers were apparently unaware of this open source material when they submitted the case to the Crown Prosecution Service suggests an alarming lack of rigour in their initial investigation,” he said. “In light of this, it is vital that the police reopen the case to ensure national security can be protected.” The Jewish counter-protester, who was charged for “causing distress”, said the revelations were yet more evidence of “two-tier policing”. The CPS dropped the case against him last month, eight months after he was first arrested. “The police were sufficiently well-resourced to know I’d be at the counter-protest the following week and to circulate my photograph among officers on the ground so they could arrest me. Yet counter-terror police were apparently unable to carry out a basic Google search on this man before interviewing him,” he said."
