Following the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, the aftermath, like those of other recent terrorist atrocities, was marked by what later revealed to be a coordinated British government policy of “controlled spontaneity”. Pre-planned vigils and inter-faith events were rolled out, and people handed out flowers “in apparently unprompted gestures of love and support” as part of an information operation “to shape public responses, encouraging individuals to focus on empathy for the victims and a sense of unity with strangers, rather than reacting with violence and anger”. The aim was to present an image of depoliticised community solidarity within the state’s benevolent, if not adequately protective, embrace.
Two tier policing in plain view they are not even trying to hide it anymore. If thats the fair right everyone of them would of been arrested.They also let mdl do what they wanted in stoke ended up with two getting axed and smashed with hammers. #starmersbritain #TwoTierPolicing https://t.co/35cFOFZxHS

A mob of visibly heavily armed Muslims in Stoke roam the streets with police making no efforts to stop them.
This is exactly why patriots are protesting as we have all had enough.
End two-tier policing. pic.twitter.com/GdQmW2Gb2f
