After Henry Nowak: taking on two-tier policing

Paul Birch and Luke Gittos at the spiked summit.

Topics Politics UK

The killing of Henry Nowak has exposed a deep injustice. As the teenager lay dying on the floor from stab wounds, the police handcuffed him, seemingly because his attacker had accused Nowak of racism. This has reignited a debate about so-called two-tier policing, and fuelled concerns that official ‘anti-racism’, some would even say ‘anti-white’ prejudice, is corroding equality before the law. Is justice no longer blind?

Discussing all this and more at the inaugural spiked summit were former police officer Paul Birch and lawyer Luke Gittos, chaired by Fraser Myers.
