Pointless debating something with these guys when the goalposts move to suit their agenda for the day. Whites v Asians. Whites v Blacks. Palestinians v Jews. Muslims v Right wing thugs. Carnival goers v Football fans.

Tomorrow’s two tier agenda will be two tier broadcasting (BBC / Jenas v ITV / Schofield).

There’s no moving goal posts, it’s always been the case. 
 

The phrase is used to describe the impression that some protests and demonstrations are dealt with more harshly than others.

Aye

For a while the eco protesters were using non violent direct action. It was highly disruptive and had never been done on that scale before. The police had to adapt and the government had to change protest laws before stricter sentencing and policing could be brought in. Expecting change immediately was never possible. 

Using it as an argument for two tier policing is just daft. But I guess if your looking to Twitter rather than making any effort to understand policing and protest laws, then it's to be expected that you'd jump to that conclusion. 

Fwiw I understand why some folk believe in two tier policing after events like the grooming scandals. I personally think the vast majority of policing follows the law regardless of who you are and that folk are blowing the whole thing out of proportion. But I get there are a minority of occasions when this isn't the case due to historical tensions. Most of the time when folk argue 'well what about when these people did this', it's because it just wasn't as bad as the incident we're all talking about. Pro Palestine protests for example, were not descending on mass to torch a synagogue, so of course they're not going to be opening up night time courts for them.  

Anyone could go find a video of a person of a certain race or class being policed too soft, or policed too harsh, or whatever you want to suit an agenda. It doesn't prove two tier policing.

Really isn't difficult. 

I find it strange that those who chose not to believe it (which is fair enough), insist on a narrow definition that suits them, and ignore the observations of others, and dismiss them as moving goal posts.

It doesn't actually matter if there are different levels of policing or not- it's the perception that there is.

When such perceptions are shared by former police officers and other senior figures, then maybe they shouldn't be dismissed in the usual trite manner. 

The very attitudes that got us here and will continue to raise tensions.

If that perception is being pushed by the Daily Mail I'll dismiss it in any manner I see fit.

Twitter was awash last week with all.the usual racist grifters and the headline "boy sent to prison for waving an England flag outside a mosque"

Reality was he'd pleaded guilty to threats, harassment and intent to arson.

No

Around the ground, outside the pubs. 10 people spark up a joint. Police aren’t turning a blind eye 

They don’t seem to be too bothered by the massive queues for the cubicles at each match tbf

That really does work both ways in this case 

The whole recent use of the term is based upon the treatment of protestors of differing racial backgrounds 

It started with BLM, continued with Palestine, and more recently with anti islam 

For every protest there is a counter protest and a differing point of view

Inconsistent policing definitely 

But not two tier based on race

Because for all the white folk who think the police pussy foot around minorites for fear of being deemed racist, you'll find loads of non whites who think they are targeted specifically because of their race

And this whole tangent is about Notting hill carnival

Where lots of folk have been arrested for drugs offences 

Whilst even more are able to enjoy a spliff without reproach 

That's not two tier, is it?

Ah, so it’s protests and demonstrations. So why are you talking about football games and carnivals?

Moving the goalposts or whataboutery?

Because it can be applied to a whole manner of subjects. Even simpletons like your good self can grasp this. It’s not just black v whites. 
 

Basically the big clue is “policing” 

 

Have a think

👍

Simpleton. Made me chuckle.

Zico questioned whether it was two tier policing, or just shit policing across various things. That was rejected.

I asserted that you’re saying it’s about more than it’s black v white (eg football v carnival) and you posted above it’s always been clear what it’s about - protests and demonstrations (ie not football and carnival).

Now you say it’s about something more than black v white (eg football and carnival) which is exactly what I said to you and which you challenged. And therefore shit policing across multiple areas, which is what Zico said originally.

You’re arguing with yourself… 🤣

I should have left it when I said “it’s always been the case” referring to the numerous examples you gave. I chose to give one.

 Bonkers that people want an event cancelled that every year sees people stabbed, police officers assaulted, sexual assaults, hundreds of arrests, people carrying guns etc. I mean what’s going through their minds?

We talk about toasters on here all day your next adverts on the Bolton Evening News page will be for toasters.

I don't follow a single GB News account or connected account but because we spent 3 weeks solid talking about that shit on here my YouTube shorts feed was littered with the stuff.

I'm getting Oasis vids today yet don't follow a single Oasis theme.

Watched a few metal drumming vids last week and was then blasted with videos of Korn and Slipknot because I posted a vid on here.

It's not algorithms.

Basically every paid for digital campaign has two parts, firstly you need to find interested parties which how you put your targeting in, then those interested parties ie if you Google something or speak near a linked appliance you get put into a pot which builds up. Then you start retargeting that pot for conversions which is why you get overserved campaigns.
