Public satisfaction with Britain’s police has dropped down to about 54% today from around 72% in 2019. There are a lot of factors that may have created this drop in satisfaction some of which are: Police failure to deal with crime, the aggressive and somewhat out of control way they behaved during Covid, along with the increasing public knowledge of police involvement in the Rape Gangs that have marred too many British towns and cities, both by turning blind eyes to the gang’s activities or actual participation in rapes. The police’s behaviour during the George Floyd protests which were imported into the UK by the left and Britain’s idiot political classes was not what one could accurately say was an exemplar of impartiality, also caused many Britons to turn their noses up at Britain’s police in utter disgust. Add into that mix the police’s gleeful enforcement of Britain’s speech crime laws most often for stuff that would not cross the American First Amendment threshold of criminal speech such as incitement and you have the potential for that 54% public approval rate for the police to drop a lot further.

Many of us have known for years that the police are two tier in the way that they operate. Some officers have always had favourites who they won’t come down too hard on whether it be, as it was years ago, a Brother Freemason, or a crime linked friend or family member. Latterly as we’ve seen in the period post the Macpherson Report, that members of racial and religious minorities and sexual and gender ones are preferred or excused or treated with kid gloves. The result is that the tendency of officers to be two tier in their approaches to their work has become not a character flaw but force policy in too many cases.

The two tier nature of how Britons are police can no longer be dismissed as a conspiracy theory. We saw from the Harry Nowak case that police forces obsessing over ‘diversity’ has real negative impacts on front line policing. A young man died because it seems because officers may have prioritised a specious racism complaint over a man dying of stab wounds. The state and senior officers told these officers to prioritise racism, to have racial favourites when policing and that’s exactly what they did. Remember over £800,000 was spent by Hampshire police in one year for the purposes of indoctrinating officers into the DEI cult and racially, ideologically and religiously preferential policing.

People are getting mightily upset about how we are being policed and the shitshow policing has, as like so much else of the country, become.

Here’s some stuff which should piss you off which I’ve found one of which can be absolutely nailed into the two tier policing column, another is an expression of fear of the police and another is an example of the piss poor nature of the human material that is being recruited into policing today. There’s also some sobering words from Sebastian Millbank.

First up is this delightful example of an arrogant harridan in a paramilitary style uniform shouting the odds at a possibly annoying member of the public and acting with a complete and all encompassing sense of entitlement. She’s completely unable to tell the person with the camera what powers she is exercising. She was also, Mr Cheggs said ‘acting beyond her legal authority’. Yes the member of the public was annoying but the officer was worryingly incompetent and intemperate. I found this on the comic Scott Cheggs’s X page but I believe that it originated with someone else.

In some cases the public’s dissatisfaction and disconnection from police is turning into disgust at them and fear of them. This is a far cry from what Sir Robert Peel intended for the police. The police were to be of the public but policing had to be assisted by the public as well as in ‘the police is the public and the public is the police’. When people fear the police and fear them because of their ideological biases as the lady in the video below does then the police are no longer of the public, they are something else, something potentially rotten. This video from the X page of the Southampton Times is of an interview given to a French TV station of a mother from the area where Mr Nowak was murdered. She accused the police of acting to cover up via delay the actions of the police officers who attended the scene of Mr Nowak’s murder. She also told that she instructed her child to never call the police in an emergency, Fire Brigade, yes, Ambulance, yes, but not the police so low was her trust in the police.

Policing without fear or favour also seems to have been chucked into the depths of the Bristol Channel by South Wales Police. They have been caught out operating a semi-secret Islamic anti-blasphemy scheme, an Islamic blasphemy law via the back door if you will. Officers of this force have been instructed to log comments both online and offline it seems that in the forces words go ‘beyond legitimate criticism’ of Islam. Yes, if you have the misfortune to live in South Wales you now know you are being policed by a force that is more than likely taking instructions from Islamic ‘community cohesion advisors’ on what comments about Islam the police should or should not censor or criminalise. Here’s what the Free Speech Union has said about this:

Here’s Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho’s letter to the Chief Constable of South Wales.

I agree with Ms Coutinho that this is an Islamic blasphemy law by the back door. I also agree that this sort of utterly bent behaviour by South Wales Police does nothing to damp down public anger about two tier policing. It must be challenged both politically and legally and by ordinary Britons. This sort of police shithousery should not be buried nor the officers who sanctioned it not face accountability, it should be the subject of what Mr Nigel Farage called a ‘cold rage’ but a logical one.

Then there is this from Sebastian Millbank in The Critic magazine. In a magnificently written article Mr Millbank said that he no longer trusted the British state, not the police, not the National Health Service (NHS) and certainly not the government. He bemoaned quite rightly and passionately the prevalence of public servants who are there to serve us the public being cruel and indifferent to the people they are supposed to serve. He talked about a friend who died from the piss poor treatment that she received from the NHS and the mothers who lost babies or who suffered life changing injuries due to truly awful treatment by a health service that too often fails to serve properly those who are forced to use it and who’ve paid in via taxation for its services.

Like many others who have written on the subject of the murder of Henry Nowak, Mr Millbank treats it as a microcosm of modern British society and how we are policed and governed.

He said:

“An entire society was there in miniature. A killer, the killer’s family (his “community” if you will) and the police, representatives of the state. Everyone involved was indifferent to Henry, and in that moment, chose to help the killer rather than the victim. The ethnic and family loyalties of the family, and the anti-racist training of the cops, inverted justice and reality. We are all left to wonder how — how in a million years — a cop could arrive to find a killer standing over his victim, and proceed to handcuff a dying man. Even if, as has been reported, Nowak was beyond saving, he was denied dignity in his last moments. In those final minutes on earth he might have had the simple satisfaction of seeing his attacker arrested — instead, he spent them being disbelieved and betrayed by the people whose job it was to protect him.”

Mr Millbank is correct that this is British society in miniature. Whether it’s the NHS, the police, local government, government agencies like DVLA or Passport Office, the Ministry of Defence, the education sector and much more sectors of the State is riddled with ideological rot, the sort of ideological rot that led in large part to the death of a young man in Southampton.

When the likes of Britain’s middle classes give up and finally embrace distrust of the state because none of its entities, agencies or service providers can be trusted then it’s clear that we are in a very bad way as a society. On this subject Mr Milbank said:

“If people like me — with the advantages of education, economic security, family support and working in the nation’s capital — no longer trust basic shared institutions, I can only imagine how helpless and angry people who lack the means to seek private healthcare, who have to live next door to habitual criminals, who can’t avoid danger, must feel. “

Here’s the link to Mr Millbank’s article: https://thecritic.co.uk/i-dont-trust-the-british-state/

He’s correct there. When those most invested in the idea of society and its entities and institutions working for all and working well, such as the middle classes withdraw their trust from entities such as the police then it should be seen as a serious problem. He’s right to be distrustful of those entities that he spoke of in his article as too many of them have forfeited any right to our trust (I’m looking at you NHS).

Every civilised and functioning nation needs a force to police it. However it needs to be functional, not corrupt either by cash or ideology and impartial. Sadly that’s not what we’ve got at present. In some places it’s barely functional, much to the chagrin of those dwindling number of decent officers in forces, it’s corrupted by ideology and as we’ve seen in recent years clearly NOT impartial.

The problem with policing can be repaired but it ain’t going to be repaired by this government, they’ll just make things worse and are already making things worse. It’s going to take a future government to not just deal with immediate problems with woke nonsense seeping into operational policing but the already ripe for brainwashing junior intakes. As with so much else that’s wrong in Britain it’s only by fixing education that other problems including the way we are policed can be solved to the satisfaction of the British people.
