I’m utter delighted to see that Spiked magazine has weighed into the issue of Britain’s increasingly politically bent police. In an article written by Paddy Hannam parallels are drawn between the politicised way that police handled the Miners Strike of the mid-1980’s and how they are policing demonstrations that are either not considered as politically correct or which challenge the UK Government’s current lockdown madness.
It can be proven now, I believe almost to the criminal standard of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ that Britain’s police, not just the Metropolitan Police but all of them, are bent. They are not bent financially as some were in the 1970’s when there were persistent rumours and some truths that major criminals were paying off police officers for protection. What we have now is political corruption.
We can see and have seen with our own eyes this politicisation and bias by British police forces. We’ve seen the police take the knee to the BLM/Marxist thugs, allow the middle class leftists of Extinction Rebellion to run around unhindered and of course a senior police officer come out in support of those vandals who toppled the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol. We’ve also seen how the police have no problem with dishing out violence and oppression to groups either the Left or the Government dislike. We’ve seen anti-lockdown demonstrations broken up with levels of violence that the police would not dare to use on the BLM/Marxists, along with the very heavy handed arrest of a British military veteran during a demonstration against illegal immigration in Dover. Also as I have seen for myself in person, the aggressive policing of demonstrations by Britons of all races against the disgraceful and ongoing scandal of Islamic Rape Gangs and against Islamic terror.
I would most certainly recommend going and reading the entire Spiked article about how Britain’s police are now woefully and dangerously politicised. However, these two paragraphs from the Spiked article should whet your appetite for it.
Spiked said:
It is clear that British police are no longer impartial. Much like the BBC, the British Library or our universities, the police force is yet another public institution which is meant to be objective, but has clearly visible political biases. The police have shown this year that they will not apply the law equally to all. Instead, they will treat some more harshly than others for the same absurd non-offences.
One of the fundamental principles underlying any healthy democracy is the idea of equality before the law. Legal systems fail when they treat individuals differently because of the groups from which they originate, whether they be ethnic, religious or political. They fail morally, but also practically, because they encourage disrespect for the law. Why take the law seriously if you know it will not treat you fairly?

I find very little to disagree with in this article. We now no longer have police forces that will police equitably but instead base how Britons and especially demonstrations are policed on the colour of a demonstrators skin, their religion, their adherence to PC dogma and political viewpoint. This is the sort of policing of selective causes differently is the type of policing that used to be confined to the more politically controlled police forces of Continental Europe or those of the great dictatorships of the 20th century, not Britain with its tradition of police being ‘citizens in uniform’ rather than a paramilitary force. Sadly the sort of crappy, bent and biased policing that we used to thank our lucky stars that we didn’t have, is now here and it’s hell bent on cracking the heads of those who either the Left or the Government disagree with.
I used to be a respecter of the police, even when my own personal experience of it had at times, not been exactly optimal. Now I have little respect for Britain’s police. Instead I loathe, despise and fear in equal measure, their capricious, authoritarian, politicised and biased way of policing.
Because of the police’s bias, which is shown at demonstrations but also in how they’ve handled issues such as Covid and the Islamic Rape Gangs, they are rapidly losing the respect of the public. This loss of public confidence has been brought about by the police themselves and their decision to be a political rather than a crime prevention and investigation force. Unless the police change, this loss of public confidence and in turn the public’s willingness to support the police, with most likely get much worse.
