POLL OF THE DAY: Do you think there was evidence of 'two-tier policing' during the summer riots? YOUR VERDICT

A new report has said that there was "no evidence" of "two-tier policing" in the summer unrest following Axel Rudakubana's murder spree in Southport.

The Home Affairs Committee has released the results of a new probe into police forces' response to the disorder which broke out after the murder of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport on July 29 last year.

It said there was no evidence of “two-tier policing” in officers’ handling of the levels of violence and criminality during the period, and branded the claims as “disgraceful”.

MPs in the Committee, led by Tory MP Dame Karen Bradley, said: “This was not protest.

“Those participating in disorder were not policed more strongly because of their supposed political views but because they were throwing missiles, assaulting police officers and committing arson.

“It was disgraceful to see the police officers who bore the brunt of this violence being undermined by baseless claims of ‘two-tier policing’.”

But during the summer, Nigel Farage said that "ever since the soft policing of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, the impression of two-tier policing has become widespread" in Britain.

He later said that "most of us think that ethnic minority groups are policed entirely differently to that of white British people".
