  1. Tim, I'm British, white, and live in the UK. Profile pic is genuinely me, years ago. So called "two-tier policing" is nothing new. I was a teenager when I walked up the road in Bradford as rioting happened. I wasn't part of the rioting, I was just walking up to my then girlfriends house. I guess it must be that I was in the area often, people knew my face, and I wasn't trying to get myself involved in the rioting, so I was left alone. I walked straight up to the line of police horses, since they were in my way, and with a "alright boss?" to one rider, they just shimmied out of the way, and let me pass. Genuinely pretty surreal. There's plenty of other things I could cite for people getting a "lucky break" or "favourable treatment" from the police. I just pulled the statistics for West Yorkshire, 2021 - 23% were minorities. 2011 it was 18%. In the 80's where I grew up, it honestly felt like some areas were more 50/50. IMO, those that want to come, and contribute to society (regardless of intelligence/education), and not try to enforce their culture on me & my family, then hell, yes, they're welcome. I've helped a dude from Ukraine (before 2014) move with his wife. I remember they had to pay £3000 on a skilled migrant visa, just to be allowed to use the NHS. Anyone that just wants to freeload, or bring their ideologies with them, can go on an all expenses paid holiday to Rwanda for all I care. Talking about people being thrown in jail for rioting, there were 297 arrests for the Bradford riots in 2001 - 200 of those resulted in jail sentences. It's not only white folks that get arrested/jailed. The last sentence to be handed down from those riots was 6 & 1/2 years after the event. I'll stand up & be counted when the time is right, but protesting / rioting has never actually solved anything. I was taught back in junior school not to jump on bandwagons.
