David Spring was jailed for 18 months for making threatening gestures to police and chanting 'who the F is Allah?'

Martin Daubney has questioned whether Britain is facing a two-tier justice system as well as two-tier policing.

Speaking to GB News viewers he outlines and explores the differing standards between cases and subsequent prosecutions in recent months.


He said: "Now, there's been a lot of conversation, discussion about whether we have a two tier policing system in the UK, but we also need to look at whether we have a two tier justice system.

"David Spring, a 61-year-old retired train driver, was jailed for 18 months for making threatening gestures to police and chanting who the F is Allah?

"During an anti-immigration protest on Whitehall on the 31st of July, one that I was at and was momentarily arrested myself as a journalist.

"Now, crude as such slogan may be, it is not an illegal thing to say, and there is no suggestion that Mr Spring himself was actually violent.

"Nevertheless, the judge chose not to suspend the sentence and instead sent him straight to jail.

He added: "Whitehall seen many crude statements and actions in recent months. In October last year, a Muslim man was filmed screaming God's curse be upon the infidels while waving a jihadist flag around.

"There was no charge or arrest, let alone a jail sentence for that incident. And in February, another incident that I was attending that I actually filmed.

"The genocidal slogan 'From the River to the Sea. Palestine will be Free' was projected onto Parliament. No charge, no arrest, no sentence, no drama. That one, it seems, was permissible."

A new YouGov survey released this week showed Britons believe the police are stricter with certain groups and more lenient with others and, Keir Starmer is more tolerant with some groups.

The poll, which surveyed 2070 British adults, found over a third (36%) believe the police are more strict in dealing with disorder caused by "far-right" groups, while only 11 per cent believe they are more lenient.

When asked if Keir Starmer is more or less tolerant in his approach to dealing with disorder caused by those of the 'far right', 44 per cent said the prime minister is less tolerant.

Only 6 per cent said he was more tolerant, 23 per cent said there was no real difference and 27 per cent said they do not know.
