Since the start of the recent riots, there has been much talk about ‘two tier policing’. Commentators on the right allege that the criminal justice system is biased against whites and right-wing movements, and is biased in favour of non-whites and left-wing movements. Meanwhile, those on the left insist that it’s actually biased in the other direction.
These claims are mirrored in voting patterns. Labour and Green voters tend to think the police are biased against ethnic minorities; Reform voters tend to think they are biased against white people and the far-right.
Where does the truth lie? A big problem is that practically all the evidence cited on both sides is anecdotal. Pointing to a few examples of people being unfairly treated isn’t a very strong argument. Britain is a big country: in the year ending March 2024, there were over half a million prosecutions for non-motoring offences. Hence it’s always possible to find a few cases that seem like grave miscarriages of justice. To justify a claim of ‘two tier policing’ or, more accurately, ‘two tier justice’, you need to show evidence of systematic bias.
Right-wing commentators can point to anti-immigration activists who received harsh sentences for posts that were said to constitute incitement. Left-wing commentators can point to environmental activists who received harsh sentences for trying to recruit volunteers for disruptive actions. Right-wing commentators can cite questionable arrests of anti-lockdown and anti-immigration protestors. Left-wing commentators can cite questionable arrests of anti-monarchy and pro-Palestine campaigners. Right-wing commentators can mention anecdotal reports of police bias. Left-wing commentators can do the same.
Is there a better way to resolve the debate than simply trading anecdotes?
The grooming gang scandal, where police failed to protect vulnerable white girls for fear of appearing ‘racist’ against Pakistani Muslims, does constitute evidence of systematic bias. So does the fact that police routinely engage with ‘community leaders’ for some ethnic groups but not for others. Are the right-wing commentators correct then? No, because there’s also evidence of systematic bias on the other side.
Several studies have analysed sentencing decisions in British courts and found that black and Asian offenders are more likely to get a custodial sentence than white offenders, even when controlling for many relevant factors, such as measures of culpability and harm caused. Of course, it’s difficult to control for all relevant factors, but the data do suggest a bias in the direction claimed by left-wing commentators. (Such commentators also claim that police use-of-force is biased. However, I’m not convinced.)
Overall, the evidence is too messy to say that one particular demographic group is consistently favoured or disfavoured by the criminal justice system. There are certainly examples of bias and unfairness, but they don’t generalise to all contexts. Claims of ‘two tier justice’ are therefore unsupported.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
They own the judges and appointments, look at the plant in Maxwell’s pedo trial. They’ll be allowed to kill shot as many as they have to.
What plant?
The judge in the Maxwell case just got put up for promotion by Chuck Schumer and Sleepy, Creepy Joe. The lead prosecutor in the case is FBI Director James Comey’s daughter, the same one who let Hillary destroy evidence in the whole emails scandal and was an instrumental part of the Trump-Russia hoax
It “may” turn out to be a big mistake? Talk about understatements.
There was never any reason to set aside scrutiny and accountability for medical products that are put into people’s bodies. What is the point of finding a short-term solution for a medical emergency, if it could end up causing a long-term medical emergency?
The fact that even now, with 1 year’s worth of data pfisser won’t accept any liability completely destroys the disingenous mewling of governments and health authorities across the world that “we would know by now if there were going to be long-term problems”. It is precisely because of those unknown long-term problems that pfisser et al. will not accept liability. If they will not stand behind their own products, there is no way anyone should be forced into taking these products.
I’d like to know why the emergency temporary licences in place for the vax in the Uk are still there, given that we also have treatments now. MHRA falling down on their one and only job.
Absolutely, the same applies to the FDA and the EMA. The EMA has just said people can get a booster 3 months after their last shot. It more and more seems to me that they are fully aware that ADE or something like that is occurring. After spending the better part of a year first saying how wonderful the vaxx is, then saying it’s wonderful but does need the odd booster, they are now in essence admitting it’s got a 3-month effectiveness and getting vaxxed people to get that 3rd shot asap, including those who they are still claiming have at least 6 months of effectiveness since the 2nd shot.
Nope, definitely something they now know and are not telling us. This cannot be hidden forever, no matter how stupid people have been and many still are. And then these lying sacks of unscrupulous garbage had better run.
Making a mistake in the heat of pressure is one thing, continuing to enforce the same mistake to try and keep people from finding out – disgraceful and worthy of extreme punishment.
If Ford or Boeing tried that on, the MSM’s shrieks of outrage would shatter glass.
Pfizer didn’t develop the coofshot. They market and distribute it under licence from BioNtech, who along with Moderna had never brought a product to market before last year. This is not a Pfizer “vaccine”. They provide brand name cover.
https://dossier.substack.com/p/miracle-or-mirage-mrna-moderna-biontech?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web
It’s also a way out for Pfizer. If trouble will raise they will throw Biontech under the bus.
I heard the US government own a chunk of Moderna ?
I have seen something just today to that effect but I really don’t know.
Dr David Martin – The names and faces of the people killing humanity.
It is becoming clearer by the day that this is the new imperialism, complete with its own array of human rights abuses. (and don’t forget the old imperialism was driven by big business too).
Those who stand in future elections to parliament must commit to reign in the pharmaceutical companies. If they don’t, they don’t deserve our vote.
Hesitant ???
I didn’t think the risks of taking an experimental ‘vaccine’ were less than the risks of the virus itself.
Caught the coof. Survived. 100% within 2 weeks of catching it.
I WILL NEVER TAKE THE “VACCINES”.
Caught or not. No one should be forced to take a medical procedure one does not need.
No one should be forced to take a medical procedure one does not want
‘If Pfizer is so confident that its vaccine has been proven safe in rigorous trials, why is it unwilling to take responsibility for any problems? And if it is unwilling to take the risk with its own product, how is that going to persuade the vaccine-hesitant to take the risk themselves?’
I know it has been said numerous times, but if you’ll allow me to demur once more, I and countless others are emphatically not ‘hesitant’ with regard to this ‘vaccine’. We are utterly decided on our position, and have reached a definitive decision.
Can we finally dispense with this misnomer? It implies that those who haven’t had the injection are unsure, tentatively weighing things up and agonising over the issue. Now, while this may apply to some, I think it is safe to say that by now the vast, vast majority of people know whether or not they’re going to be injected.
Yeah, Will’s a good lad, and should note this.
Ban “vaccine hesitant as a phrase”.
Excellent point. In my experience, the ones who refuse the vaccine are the ones who actually know something about it and what it does to the body. The “vaccinated” appear to know nothing about it other than it is “just an ordinary vaccine” ( which it is not) and it allows you to go on holiday to Corfu.
Yes they think they have been injected with the dead Covid virus. That’s what the doughnuts I know think it is anyway.
Very, very true. It’s hard not to develop the mindset that they deserve what they’ve got coming to them.
Indeed – it’s very clearly a government propaganda term (probably originating in the nudge unit) which is used to imply that anyone who hasn’t been spiked is just a bit ‘hesitant’ but will see the light eventually.
That really is not the case for probably nearly everyone who has got this far without being spiked – we are absolutely, definitely opposed to the whole concept and will never agree to it.
What do we think would be a good alternative? Vaccine Refusers gets the message across but implies both that we agree that it is a vaccine and refusing implies something subversive. Injection Decliners? Bit crap! Anyone got a better suggestion?
Clot shot realists.
Pfizer decliners
Rejectionists
Rejection gives us more agency than refusing. We’re not just refusing them, we’re rejecting everything about them, the people pushing them, the grounds on which they’re pushed, the politics behind them, the companies making them, the people defending and apologising for them. I reject it all.
Informed dissenters. The t-shirt should read:
Informed Dissent
Yep. My family are Vaccine Adamant and have been since before they pretended to invent them. It’s one thing having to suffer the endless lies of the parasite ruling class, it’s quite another allowing yourself to be poisoned with them.
They can, in the words of many protesters I have witnessed, stick their poison vaccine up their arse.
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit https://ivmpharmacy.com
Amazing what you can achieve with total control of the Media and the use of Psy-ops professionals to terrify and hypnotise most of the population and conceal so much truth so easily .
Is there any point in mentioning the ‘real agenda’, which has been laid in front of us all in the WEF Schwab “Great Reset” and the many interviews given by Bill Gates over the years from the very start?
So far every single “Conspiracy Theory’ projected has turned into fact – so the future looks grim… so long as the sheep sleep.
Full on Stockholm Syndrome where I live.
From what I’ve seen the molecular structure of ivermectin is not replicated in these new antivirals. However, they all block the same viral enzyme. Can anyone addto this?
Look up Dr John Campbell on YouTube and his comparison of the pills. Pfizers uses the same protease inhibitor mechanism as Ivermectin.
A reading of just a few sections of RFK J’s fully documented book ‘The Real Dr Fauci ” and his 50 year career of forcing through vaccines he advocates produced by companies he has an interest in, after the insistence on achieving indemnity for the producers from any prosecution for damage they may do and the ruthless suppression of opposition and qualified professional medical opinion that ever challenged his judgement, should convince even the least sceptical of the unknown dangers we now face for ‘trusting’ those charged with ensuring our protection from unsafe products to be acting in our best interests and not those of the powerful Pharma industry .
The fact that, without the indemnity from prosecution so casually granted to Big Pharma the experimental and un-trialled ’emergency use only’ mRNA vaccinations (2023 trial end date) would never have been ‘trialed’ on the public, should tell us all we need to know about the alarming absence of comprehensive data on their action on the body and ultimate safety and the real financial interests of the Pharma companies and their agents and investors which have driven this unprecedentedly rushed programme.
My MP assures me that the “Vaccines” are safe. And I am guilty of “disinformation” as all them deaths they report are not linked in anyway to the “vaccine” despite being in the Gov’s own vaccine reporting (and three days after I pointed this out to the dumbo a Tory MP stood up in Parliament and said the same as me).
here is the quote
“Thank you for your email.
As it states directly after the quote you have selected, “this does not indicate a link between vaccination and the fatalities reported. Review of individual reports and patterns of reporting does not suggest the vaccines played a role in these deaths.”
If you would like my assistance on another issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. However, I have made my views clear on the vaccines, and the scientific data shows that they are clearly safe. While you may have your personal views on this, they are not in line with the evidence, and I will not be responding to any further disinformation”
the vaccines are so safe that anyone under 40 is not allowed an AZ “vaccine”. So safe that Pfizer is not prepared to distribute unless having zero guilt ahead of the roll out.
mean while the good old U.K. trusts the AZ so much that they are letting this happen.

Your MP needs deselecting for spreading dangerously false information.
I was absolutely livid at the superior tone of reply. I am nothing but polite and respectful to her, all I ever said was that because there was a risk a vaccination programme for Children should be with GP’s to decide not the school vaccine programme. And I end up with her crap. Hate her so very much.
all they react to is your vote. I had exactly the same response from my wringing wet Tory MSP. They are 100% on message. No deviation, no personal or constituent issues allowed to permeate this stance. They have all been got at.
What shakes them is the retort that you will never, ever vote for them or their party again AND will actively campaign against them at every and all levels of politics they stand in.
And trying to suppress free speech and close down debate.
Well, I suppose at least he gave you a straight answer (albeit one which is clearly wrong)! My MP absolutely won’t answer any straightforward questions, and won’t provide cost-benefit analyses for any of the government measures (or refuse to provide them – he simply will not address the questions at all).
I got one similar to that when asking when this first started why we needed to wear a mask, he said why was I moaning when it was temporary? Can’t be bothered to write now so don’t know if he’s changed his tune, although have to say, a lot of these are written by their staff
I love the way that simple unsubstantiated assertions by govt agencies are now taken to be scientific fact, that over-ride basic statistics.
Ask him to supply links to the “scientific data shows that they are clearly safe”
Keep asking him until you are deemed vexatious – at that point go public with the proof – a list of the emails – that he is unable to prove his assertion.
If only to ensure your continuing sanity. Good luck.
Hmm… why would you require legal protection for the most tested and safest medication in the history of medication…?

Omicron significantly reduces Covid antibodies generated by Pfizer vaccine, study finds.
Early data suggests people who have had Covid have more protection that just those who have been vaccinated.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/08/omicron-significantly-reduces-covid-antibodies-generated-pfizer/
I have no idea why any sane person would think antibodies produced against one viral protein would be superior to antibodies against all viral proteins.
Because boosters. Or something.
Yes because get your booster when it’s your turn to get your booster.
It appears that those of us who have dealt with the infection naturally are likely to be better equipped to deal with other variants, such as Omicron. Nothing to do with antibodies further out in time – they are junk, but we should then have a batch of T-cells that can detect similar invaders in future.
That was always my take – that my NI would detect variants, mount an immune response, and might give me some low-level symptoms while it did so, and then I would have also boosted my NI in the process, by being exposed to and mounting an immune response to the variant.
If I am incorrect in thinking that – by all means, educate me.
Met Police Responds To 900,000 People ‘Attending’ Christmas Day Rave At Downing Street (ladbible.com)
Haha! Like I said, let’s have a big Christmas party at Downing Street…
I see Andrew Neil is ranting about the unvaccinated in the Mail. I wonder if he has asked himself why so many of the unvaxxed have not succumbed in the last two years, or how many have succumbed and recovered and are now immune.
A subject, one of many, MSM is not allowing comments on now. Why did our own governments allow the population to be jabbed with something that requires no liablity?
People have this strange idea that Pharmaceutical companies are in a benevolent business, there to produce products that cure and save lives, these people are fooling themselves. The Pharma Industry is akin to the Defence Industry, only the latter does not try and hide what it does. Pharma is there to make money for its executives and its Shareholders. period, its a business, If they were for example to make a cure for Cancer that would take away billions in revenue of drugs which Cancer victims have to live on, so its a reoccuring income stream, likewise vaccinations, especially these ones which are nice and cheap to produce, ran off a computer programme not years of trials and tests, and of course free from all liability. Plus if you can supress a cheap drug that cures the disease through your friends in politics, then you have many years of liablilty free guines pigs who you can stick your newest “Vaccine” into.
Curing a disease, an illness a condition is not profitable, but producing drugs which keep the symptoms at bay and to which the patient becomes addicted, whilst not being cured, now that is an extremely profitable business,
Ask Mr Gates and Dr Fauci
I totally agree. Conventional medicine is all about disease management and nothing about cure.
disease management at best – creating repeat business at worst
The trials absolutely did NOT demonstrate the Pfizer vaccine was “safe”. For one thing, all causes mortality was worse in the treatment arm than the control arm. And in the FDA submissions there were more deaths reported than in the original trial results, 21 vs 17 I think, from memory. lousy efficacy, lousy safety – all in the TRIALS, still approved. Thousands of deaths in the real world afterwards. Such Success. Much victory over nature.
Not to mention that Pfizer manipulated the trials, according to the BMJ whistleblower. Improper storage of materials, removing subjects from the trial when they displayed adverse events, including one 12 year old boy who subsequently ended up in a wheelchair
I will never regret declining the koolaid. Sad my husband was brainwashed by his kids to take it, but he is now declining the booster(s). Seeing so many friends with problems post vaxx. Heart attacks, neurological issues, cardiac and lung issues, bleeding issues and one helluva lot of cancers, aggressive cancers, myocarditis.
The only people we know with COVID right now, have been “double jabbed” some boosted. Fascinating that gp’s and nurses working in practices are seeing none of this. Same for paramedics. Because if they were you would expect them to speak out. They are silent. So everything must be okay. Probably all the above “adverse events” are coincidental.
re: the company has come under fire for “war profiteering” by making huge profits during the pandemic.
Pfizer’s dividend yield is 3%.
Pfizer and governments and “scientists” and “regulators” know it’s not nearly as safe as other vaccines e.g. flu – these people are not stupid. They just don’t care because they know they can get away with it because no-one is questioning anything and they have manufactured consent with their Big Lie, and frankly a lot of ordinary people probably realise it’s not as safe as other vaccines but have such an exaggerated idea of the risks covid that they are happy to roll the dice.
So the government’s “safe [and effective]” moniker for the (not-)vaccines is an outright lie. But then we knew that.
No problem with them making money. Good for them. But if you won’t take the liability how dare you say “jab your already safe kiddies and have another two yourself.” This is what creates distrust, a type of crony capitalism.
Why, I have this product I can sell to fix you up from Covid and it only costs £20 a pop, but, can you protect me from any…issues? That is where we are at. Own it Pfizer, that’s all we ask!
when there is the very real risk that it is going to be mandated for people who actively DO NOT WANT to have it the contention that you make is nowhere near good enough.
…… comments on the Daily Sceptic are all that keeps me vaguely sane. Just wondering if we should think about some kind alternative contact arrangement…… I don’t believe I am even having to write this but since dark forces are on the rampage, we have no idea as to what assaults on our lives will come next.
They have looked at their balance sheets, and no doubt the accountants have told them what to do. They must know the financial risks involved.
I got to wondering why David Malpass, head of the World Bank, would be talking about vaccines. It’s hardly banking and spreadsheets, is it? So, lo and behold, he is hand in hand with the Bill and Melinda Killya Roadshow. Quelle surprise, Rodney, petis pois.
The reason why Pfizer won’t release the documentation is exactly the same as why Fauci cut the trial short at 6 months: it kills people. Read Kennedy’s book, he talks about how Pfizer hid 5 heart attacks in the small print and removed them from the data.
Fauci had used the same tactic before. Cut disastrous trials short and strong-arm the killer drug through the FDA. He did it with AIDS and he did it with Ebola.
Remdisiver is commonly known by American Nurses as “Run Death Is Near” with good reason. Fauci cut the trials short because over 50 people died. He then proclaimed it to be a miracle drug. The first independent tests of it were by the Chinese who concluded that it had no discernible positive effect and was dangerous. Remdisiver is still one of only two recommended treatments for Covid in the USA.
Something to bear in mind: OfCom still has a gag on the press, after nearly two years, which means they cannot criticise Government Covid “policy”. Do ask your MP why.
https://www.writetothem.com/
Two more pieces of the puzzle: the head of the World Bank is hand in hand with Big Bills Wild West Killing Show. Guess who is the paymaster for Eurosurviallance, the company which passed the testing for Covid using PCR? Yep. The test that every country has relied on and doesn’t work. Everywhere I look there are three names: Gates, Fauci and Soros. I am struggling to find anything they are not influencing – sorry – assisting, out of kindness to mankind. Murdering bastards.
