Met Police Boss Sir Mark Rowley Grabs Microphone and Throws it On Ground When Grilled About “Two-Tier Policing”
A visibly angry Met Police boss Sir Mark Rowley grabbed a reporter’s microphone and chucked it on the ground this morning when he was grilled about “two-tier policing”. The Mail has more.
As he exited the Cabinet Office, the visibly angry Scotland Yard chief was filmed being asked by a Sky News journalist: “Are we going to end two-tier policing sir?”
In the astonishing footage, Sir Mark was shown taking part of the microphone before throwing it to the floor as he headed towards a waiting car.
The bizarre incident came amid intense pressure on police chiefs to get a grip on the violent disorder causing chaos on U.K. streets, in the wake of last week’s Southport stabbing attack.
Sir Keir Starmer is also scrambling to put a lid on tensions and end the rioting in the first big test of his premiership since entering Downing Street a month ago.
After chairing an emergency Cobra meeting this morning, the Prime Minister pledged a “standing army” of specialist police officers to tackle what he has condemned as “far-Right thuggery”.
He and other senior ministers met with police chiefs and prison bosses in response to the continuing violence being waged by far-Right thugs.
They updated on efforts to deploy officers to trouble hotspots, boost court capacity and tackle online criminality and misinformation as social media is used to whip up rioters.
“Two-tier policing” is a phrase used to described an impression that some protests and demonstrations are dealt with more harshly than others.
Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage earlier claimed the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 had left feelings of “two-tier policing”, although his remarks were dismissed by Tory former Home Secretary Dame Priti Patel.
A narrative of ‘politicised’ or ‘two-tier policing’ has also been pushed by far-Right figures, including England Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.
The PM’s official spokesman said Sir Keir “wouldn’t recognise that characterisation of policing”.
“The job of the police is to keep everyone safe, to tackle violence and disorder no matter the origination,” the spokesman added.
“There is no justification at all for the scenes we have seen. There is no justification for any sorts of criminal activity.
“The police will always will always carry out their job without fear or favour.”
Worth reading in full.
Erm, isn’t grabbing a microphone and throwing it on the floor criminal damage?
You just had to answer the question, Mark. No need to have a temper tantrum.

“Starmer attacks Musk over claim that UK civil war ‘is inevitable’Sir Keir Starmer says there is ‘no justification’ for billionaire’s comments, stressing that rioters ‘do not speak for Britain’”
Thing is old Starmergeddon… They do!
Well done Elon supporting the silent majority
Will Starmer’s Army ‘fight them on the beaches’?
Starmer’s Army is here to stay.
“Two tier policing” being a talking point of the Far Right, Sir Mark was merely making an example of the clearly fake journalist from the EDL who was starting a violent confrontation with his weapon, concealed in a microphone-cover. He had no time to arrest and de-arrest him, so this was just the equivalent of sticking a riot shield up a pensioner’s nose outside Downing Street.
Nothing to see here, folks.
😂
Just heard on the BBC ( I know, I know. Huz was watching the Netherlands beat GB in the women’s hockey. Everyone did look like legit females too, so that’s a bonus ) that there’s been 378 people arrested over these riots. No idea how many of them are Muslims, but then there was no mention of the Muslim, weapon-wielding, violent thugs, period. Usual biased BBC bilge, in other words. ”In The Strange Death of Europe, Douglas Murray clarified the debate over immigration by drawing an instructive distinction between “primary” and “secondary” problems. His wise counsel has not been heeded. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper, the Labour home secretary, would rather obsess over the regrettable riots in Southport—and elsewhere—after Axel Rudakubana’s murder of three girls at a Taylor Swift dance class than grapple with the entirely justified grievances of a people who have had enough. To put it in simple terms, we never voted to be demographically replaced—least of all by groups with a higher propensity for committing acts of violence. In just the last week or so, we have seen a British soldier nearly stabbed to death by a Nigerian called Anthony Esan, a policewoman punched in the face by Pakistani youths in Manchester, and machete… Read more »
“The bizarre incident came amid intense pressure on police chiefs to get a grip on the violent disorder causing chaos on U.K. streets, in the wake of last week’s Southport stabbing attack.”
So the Mail has now downgraded the murders of three white, British girls to a “stabbing attack.”
Give it another couple of weeks and the whole incident will have been reduced to a “propoganda story pushed by Tommy Robinson and the Far Right.”
I don’t know how these people sleep at night.
He was in a hurry. So that’s OK then.
Doesn’t sound much of a defence to me.
Perrhaps he should have a flashing blue light on his cap to warn people of his approach.

Got to destroy our history.
Every facet of anything English/British has to go!
Exactly.
We dared to defy them and chose Brexit, we must be punished and made an example of, so next time we obey.
“we must be punished and made an example of”
Nope. What is British must be eradicated with immigration until less than 50% of the population is British and the rest are migrants.
Currently only 20% are migrants so at over a million a year – which the gross migration figure is – it will take only another couple of decades or so unless accelerated after the whites have been subjugated by the iron heel of the State or have moved to another country or some combination of both.
Starmführer won’t care. By then he will be the President of the EU Commission after he has gerrymandered the vote to force the rest of us back to the dreadful, strategically insecure and politically dangerous EU.
That, sadly, is how the man from Whitehall’s mind works and Labour, the Tories and now Labour again are denying with their lips what they are quietly doing with their hands.
Any white British person voting for any establishment party is voting for their own replacement its as simple as that.
Can’t remember if this has already been shared or not, but this sadistic joker seems to think bringing lockdowns back due to the riots is a good idea and that the British public would back such a decision. Seriously, what planet are these dangerous nutcases operating on?
”Breaking: Multicultural Lockdowns Are Coming
Left-wing Lord Walney, the UK’s Independent Adviser on “Political Violence and Disruption”, calls for a COVID-style lockdown response to Islamic migrants hunting non-Muslim peaceful Brits protesting the slaughter of three innocent children.
This is all part of the elites’ plan to seize more power. Their Great Replacement Scheme is going according to plan…”

This Guardian reading lefty muppet doesn’t even know himself what he’s supposed to be saying… 🤣
I know. That’s what I thought. Prat.
Sneer has cocked up big time, trying to go for the silent majority and then going on holiday when it all kicks off.
Please spread the news that not only are they going for the pensioners but they are also cancelling the savings limit for social care which means everyone will have to pay for this care, be you young and disabled or old with dementia.
Wake up folk and join the protests.
There’s a trend on Twitter ( #FarRightThugsUnite ) where you have to post a pic of yourself and declare that you’re a ‘far right thug’. They’re the most ‘non-far right’ people you could think of; retired and serving military personnel, retired teachers, grandparents, mothers with small kids..just ordinary citizens with traditional conservative views. ‘Far right’ seems to have become the new ‘Islamophobic’. A slur designed to shut people down and discredit their legitimate concerns. ”In the current political climate, the term ‘far right’ has morphed into a weaponized label, brandished not to identify genuine extremists, but to suppress debate and silence the working class. This pernicious trend is not only intellectually lazy, but it also undermines the very principles of free speech and democratic engagement. Let’s start with the facts. According to a 2023 study by the University of Cambridge, 65% of individuals labeled as ‘far right’ hold views that align more closely with classical liberalism and traditional conservatism than with extremist ideologies. These individuals often advocate for controlled immigration, national sovereignty, and the preservation of cultural heritage—positions that, not too long ago, were considered mainstream. Yet today, these views are summarily dismissed as ‘far right’, a tactic designed to… Read more »
When you get a reaction like that you know you’re over the target
The tap is still turned on full but Starmlins response is to get more mops!
Starmer is cut from the same denialist cloth as Khant, who continues to deny the dreadful and worsening Met police crime stats, delivered straight from the horse’s mouth. They cannot contradict the facts and the evidence of their own eyes so they just deny them again and again instead. How divorced from reality do they have to be? They’re like cultists that don’t operate in the real world;
”‘There’s no two tier policing and there is policing without fear or favour’ – Two Tier Keir.
This man is either extremely delusional or lying. He has dismissed our concerns as a ‘non issue’.
He has only been PM for a month and already one of the worst I’ve seen.”

”Watch this video and tell me with a straight face that all white people are the right-wing extremist agressors and all muslims are innocent victims

Mogs!, the belligerence of this..this..man
Will lead to civil war!
That video is of real multiculturalism!
Britain is infected with the fatal disease of integration! It’s shit or bullets from here!
Sadly it’s all over, Dings. But to be honest, I’m seeing vids of white yobs putting in windows, trashing cars, starting fires etc. It’s like one side does something then the other comes out and feels justified in retaliating, like ”an eye for an eye” type thing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen England so divided. Yes, you can’t force multiculturalism on people and just expect them to accept it and adapt, that much is very evident;
”Muslim Defence League goons – some armed with bats – target another man simply because he is British.
Guaranteed the police won’t arrest any of these thugs.”

Seriously!
‘The’ head of a professional police force? In Britain? Behaving like a rebellious, entitled teenager?
This country needs a rout!
Remove the elitest!
Before it’s too late
While ever Britain’s rise up, there is hope!
So a Sky ‘journalist’ asked him about two tier policing, that’s a good sign as they’ve been ignoring that up till now. Good to get it into the mainstream then hopefully it’ll catch on and they won’t be able to ignore it much longer.
Speaking of Sky News, it’s always handy when the narrative gets debunked yet again on live TV. Starmer will have seen this but will continue to demonize and scapegoat the phantom menace ‘far right’. Well Tommy Robinson’s on holiday abroad with his family and he’s getting blamed for all the riots, LOL;

Now Nigeria, Australia and Malaysia are giving their citizens warnings about coming here because of the rioting.
I’m not surprised. It’s just ongoing. Birmingham kicking off today, basically anarchy and mob rule. They’re going round hunting in packs;

”The radical far leftist UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has sent a clear signal to his Islamic foot soldiers.
By repeated referring to regular British people, concerned about the safety of their children, as “far-right” and also claiming that Muslims are “threatened and vulnerable” … this is an announcement to the Muslims to attack. It is also a signal to local police forces to not interfere with Muslim attacks on the British natives.”

Stuttering Starmer seems more like hostage that a prime minister.
Good to see Mr Ed Cooper interviewing his wife Ms Yvette Cooper on Good Morning Britain. Fair and Balanced.
I’m sure they had a good chuckle about it over the breakfast cornflakes.
😀 😀 😀
Tonight in Birmingham white people are getting targeted, whether in their cars or on foot. No police in sight. Prof Norman Fenton shared this from a journalist reporting there. It’s safe to say the ‘far right’ narrative’s been busted. It’ll be interesting to see how they spin this in the MSM tomorrow. Footage viral, the truth is out; ”What is happening on the streets of Britain is causing real tensions among communities. As a reporter, I’ve just been chased out of an area of east Birmingham by groups of Asian men who had come out to ‘protect their community’ against a planned far-right demonstration. The security guard with me decided immediately it wasn’t safe for us – it was clear we weren’t welcome – but there wasn’t a safe place for us to go for miles. Cars followed us, we had abuse shouted at us and at one point a group of around 6 men ran after us down a road with what looked like a weapon. We were forced to run. The far right didn’t appear to show up but the community here was on edge waiting and ready for them. They were on all corners of a roundabout… Read more »
We’ve all seen the Police in action and standing around doing nothing. We’ve all seen the Police wade in and take the knee. We know what we see and it is not even handed, one-size fits all Policing. They can lie and have as many tantrums as they like, none of it changes the fact that if you are part of a leftie favoured group noting will happen to you.
Incidentally, is the fact that this childish man was not arrested on the spot evidence of two-tiered Policing? When will Starmer announce he is up in Court in the middle of the night?
I presume Rowley will be arresting and charging himself with Criminal Damage.
I wonder how the police will react when they are told to enforce the new anti-free speech laws put into place by the WEF, I mean parliament. Can they live with the ongoing loss of freedoms in the country?
The hypocrisy in the Mail over supposed right wing agitator Tommy Robinson taking a family holiday in Cyprus in the midst of UK riots whilst failing to comment on Starmer’s decision not to recall Parliament to allow them to go on theirs was amusing.
The journo was lucky Rowley did not do a Manchester Airport kick to the head.
Mind you, in mitigation for Sir Mark clearly someone at the Cobra meeting infuriated him.
I wonder who? Surely not our Starmführer?
“Whilst your boys and girls can crack down on anyone white, go easy on the Muslims Sir Mark. I need their votes and don’t want them round my house on a Friday night beating up my wife.”
PS, why were the synagogues in North London not protected when targetted by From the River to the Sea Palestine thugs?
I also thought it was ‘criminal damage’. I liked Andrew Lawrence’s video / impression of Starmer as a rabid Marxist, though his latest one of a ‘far right’ organiser sunning himself on holiday whilst organising riots smacks of ‘trying to save his arse’ by putting out something disingenuous. Interesting on You Tube – ‘An open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer (Southport)’. A tadge aggressive, but packed with interesting points.
“wouldn’t recognise” means Starmführer cannot deny it.
So we have official confirmation policing is two-tier.
Thanks PM’s official spokesman.
