Nigel Farage: Nothing is being done by the police to get rid of the two-tier perception

It's not stopping. It could even be accelerating. Intelligence says there are up to 100 protests planned tonight across the country, and up to 30 counter protests.
And whilst we all hope and pray we don't get the scenes of violence that we've seen over the course of the last week, none of us at all can be confident that that is the case.
I wonder, because I fear that we may be in a perilous position. Why do I say that?
Well, the bedrock of how we settle disputes and how we govern ourselves is we vote.
Nigel Farage has called on the police to do more to tackle the 'two-tier' perception

We go and we argue against each other, and we have a government that is elected.
And we might not like that government, but we accept that the majority have voted for somebody other than ourselves, and we say, ‘You know what, we're going to work hard over the course of the next five years so that our team win next time around’.
Protestors stand off with police in Southport GettyThat is parliamentary democracy.
That is what works. That is what maintains the peace.
You don't need to go out and riot and protest and set fire to things all the while you've got confidence in your parliamentary system.
My fear, and I'm certainly seeing this, from people that write to me and email me, is we're beginning to see, particularly in the younger generation, a growing number of people who just don't think democracy functions, just don't think it works for them, just don't think the promises that get made at elections are actually carried out.
And that concerns me.
One of the other things that has led to such ill feeling in the country is two-tier policing. There is a very widespread perception that it does."
The point I'm making is nothing is being done by the police or other government to get rid of this perception of two tier policing.
And none of that is helpful in any way at all.
