In the wake of some tragic high-profile stabbings in the UK it has become obvious that it is not two-tier policing that is the real problem in the UK but two-tier thinking.
The hallmarks of two-tier thinking are false-privileging and smearing and there's a lot of it about these days.
It's OK when there are riots in places like Brixton, Notting Hill or Tottenham against 'systemic' racism in the police but when predominantly white people protest aganist immigration or 'reverse' systemic racism in the police it's not.
Apparently people protesting immigration or reverse racism are 'right wing thugs' according to two-tier thinking.
It's OK for the UK to be supplying weapons to prosecute the proxy war in Ukraine where Nazis are revered but not to have 'antisemitic' proxies operating in the UK.
The people questioning the war in Ukraine are Putin-puppets spreading Kremlin talking-points according to two-tier thinking and not anti-fascists against platforming neo-Nazis.
It's OK to spend billions on accommodation for illegal immigrants but not to spend money on more scanners at schools, railway stations or major tourist sites to help prevent knife crime.
The people questioning illegal immigration and its exhorbitant cost to the UK are racists according to two-tier thinking.
It's OK to have metal detectors in 'totalitarian' regimes like Russia or China (where they are much more common) but not in 'democratic' Britain (when was the last time anyone was stabbed in a Heathrow departure lounge?)
The call for more scanners in schools is countered by 'who is going to pay for them?'

The priority seems to be free breakfasts and lunches rather than pupil safety.
It's OK to have children transitioning and men in women's spaces and women's sports because this supports minority rights.
The people protesting against this erosion of childrens and womens rights are branded transphobes or TERFs.
If there is anything we need to 'get a grip of' in the UK, it's two-tier thinking.
