Rupert Lowe takes aim at 'poor' Greater Manchester Police as Reform wage war on CPS: 'The system is not working properly!'

Farage alleged the officers involved had been "thrown under the bus" expressing frustration at the fact the CPS had not charged those involved.

Reform UK have also penned a letter to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, accusing her and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of "denying the actual existence" of "two-tier policing and two-tier justice".

Speaking to GB News, Great Yarmouth MP Rupert Lowe hit out at the CPS and highlighted the "clear frustration" felt by the police officers involved, having been "thrown under the bus".

Lowe explained: "From the feedback we've been getting, and all five of us have had some feedback, that is the impression that we are clearly getting.

"And if that is the case, that's bad leadership, and you've got a schism between the leadership and people actually in the force."

Criticising the "leadership" within Britain's police forces, Lowe expressed his concern for officers being "treated badly" rather than being made to feel "proud to represent" the force.

Lowe told GB News: "Like a lot of leadership now, it's very poor. It's lost sight of what it should be doing. And really what they should be doing is driving the police force in a way that makes their officers proud to be led by them.

"On the whole, you have to support and nurture people, not treat them badly."

When asked by GB News reporter Charlie Peters if the incident at Manchester Airport is "key" to why the men involved were not charged, Lowe responded: "We're here today because clearly the system is not working properly.

"When you see a video like that, and it's been about an 11-week delay so far, you've got people's lives on hold and it's not fair on the police officers involved."

Calling for the case in question to be resolved, Lowe added: "It needs to be resolved quickly, fairly and with common sense.

"They're living here under our rules and under our law. They must be policed with absolutely no bias whatsoever. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, the law is the law. And if you break the law, you should be treated equally under the law. And that should be the case for everybody."

Rejecting any claims that the officers were "racist" towards the men involved in the airport incident, Lowe declared that the "agenda" surrounding British people and racism is "wrong".

Lowe concluded: "To accuse people of racism in this instance is clearly out of order. Britain is one of the least racist countries in the world.

"And this agenda to drive this racist view of British people is just wrong. I maintain the view that Britain is one of the least racist countries in the world. I've traveled widely, I've lived in all parts of the world from Asia to South America. This country is the least racist country on earth."

The family of Fahir Amaaz — the man who appears to have his head stamped on by a police officer in the footage — claimed that the incident kicked off after their mother was racially abused on a flight from Doha.

The family said that her sons saw the man who has allegedly abusing their mother and an "altercation' ensued at a Starbucks.
They also claim that a further altercation with the police started when officers grabbed Amaaz’s wrist and neck before hitting his head into a carpark ticket machine.

They also claimed that the officer who appeared to stamp on Amaaz’s head in the footage that surfaced online had turned off his body camera before threatening to kill him.

Amaaz claimed at a press conference in August that the same officer called him "a dirty f------ c---" and also kneeled on his neck. An IOPC investigation continues.
