Jess Phillips, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the
Labour Party and Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Home Office–responsible for homeland security–is making excuses for Muslim mobs who
harassed journalists in Birmingham on Monday and pressuring other politicians not to share footage of them.
Phillips, whose remit is “Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls,” was responding to Richard Tice MP, deputy leader of Nigel Farage’s
Reform Party, on X, formerly Twitter. He had shared footage of masked Muslims mobbing a
Sky News crew making gun signs, forcing their female reporter off-air.
“[Prime Minister Sir Keir] Starmer and Labour no doubt think these pro-Gaza masked folk are far-right too,” commented Tice, in reference to Starmer’s efforts to blame all of the
violence currently engulfing Britain on “far-right thugs.”
“
Two-tier policing must stop,” Tice added.
Phillips
defended the Muslim mob, claiming they “came to this location because it ha[d] been spread that racists were coming to
attack them.”
“This
misinformation was spread entirely to create this content. Don’t spread it MR Tice!” she demanded, apparently in an effort to suppress footage of Muslim mobs engaging in criminal actions.
Previously, the chief correspondent for state-owned Channel 4 News
deleted footage of Muslim mobs attacking “lone white individuals” in the town of Middlesbrough without explanation.
GROWING DISORDER.
In another
incident in Birmingham, which Phillips represents in Parliament, Sky News filmed a Muslim man repeatedly stabbing the wheels of their van. An LBC journalist also described being driven from the area he was covering “for miles,” with Muslims pursuing him with weapons and circling him in cars.
The LBC reporter noted the apparent lack of any meaningful police presence. In contrast, police have aggressively confronted alleged “far-right”
protestors wherever they have appeared, striking them with batons and setting
dogs on them.
Prime Minister
Starmer denies there is two-tier policing in relation to the protests and counter-protests sparked by the mass stabbing of multiple young girls by the
son of two Rwandan migrants.
