Two-Tier Justice From The 1990s

In my previous article, I debunked the ludicrous claim of the far left that two-tier policing/two-tier justice is something that affects them detrimentally rather than the so-called far right. This is arrant nonsense. Two-tier justice is something that goes back a long way, and below is just one example from the 1990s.

This is a photocopy of the front page of the Class War newspaper for February/March 1995. It contains a clear incitement to murder a number of senior judges. When I sent this to the Metropolitan Police, David Veness commented that “there was no direct threat to any named person and, therefore it was not actionable”.

At that time, Veness was an Assistant Commissioner; he went on to work for the United Nations.

Read that passage again: “there was no direct threat to any named person and, therefore it was not actionable”.

Was he serious? This newspaper and other left wing rags were full of similar attacks on the rich and famous; one contained what can only be described as a direct incitement to murder Michael Portillo, then a senior Conservative MP. He appeared totally unconcerned, and so did the police.

By contrast, many members of far right organisations have been dragged into court and even jailed for publishing at times totally innocuous material including cartoons. This is something that pre-dated the 1990s.

Here is another, somewhat milder example from the 1970s.

This is the rhetoric of the extreme left and always has been; they want to smash institutions, smash property and smash people. Often they have done so, with little in the way of retribution from the state. One can argue why this should be the case, but no reasonable person can dispute that it is so.
