Since all people are ostensibly equal under British law, police should treat people of all ethnic (and religious) groups in the same way, but this is not what British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy believes. The law is the law. Psychiatry and social work have different functions from those of law enforcement. The murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak represents everything that is wrong with Britain today. Read the devastatingly heartbreaking story HERE, and the attending police officers’ egregious betrayal of their duty (which betrayal was no doubt in accord with their training). Then, Hampshire Police tried to sabotage the trial.
Lammy acknowledges that all are equal under the law, but then he deviates from this principle as he makes the bizarre argument:
I’m afraid in our prisons, ethnic minorities are disproportionately [represented] in the criminal justice system.
Has it occurred to Lammy that the reason for this might be because “ethnic minorities” are disproportionately committing crimes worthy of prison in order to protect the the public?
While one cannot deny the presence of discrimination in any society, to make a case such as the one that the leftist Lammy makes here is preposterous. (And he isn’t the first leftist to make such a case.) Lammy is implying (as ludicrous as it sounds) that the prisons should be proportionately or near proportionately filled with white people as they are with “ethnic minorities,” no matter who commits the crime.
Therefore, it follows that what Lammy appears to mean when he refers to “policing outcomes” is the targeting of white people and a leniency toward “ethnic minorities.”
In such a scary scenario, police and politicians become an enemy of the people, perpetrators of lawlessness, and untrustworthy public servants. Shame on Lammy, and woe be unto Britain.
“UK Deputy PM Says Equality Before Law Doesn’t Mean Treating All Ethnic Groups the ‘Same’ After Nowak Killing,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, June 7, 2026:
British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said that not all ethnic groups should be treated the same by police in the wake of the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who died in police handcuffs after officers refused to believe he had been stabbed by a Sikh man.
Lammy, who also serves as the left-wing Labour Party government’s Justice Secretary, said that while the “starting point” should be equality before the law, it is not always appropriate to be treated “the same”, noting the disproportionate arrest rates of certain ethnic minority groups, such as Roma travellers [Gypsies] and black Britons.
“We are all equal before the law. So that is not the starting point, but it is the case. Recognising that in our country it is still the case that on arrest, prosecution, and conviction, I’m afraid in our prisons, ethnic minorities are disproportionately [represented] in the criminal justice system. So context can matter, but it cannot eclipse violence or the fact that we need our police to act to mitigate and deal with crimes in our communities, whatever the color of your skin or background,” he told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on Saturday.
The BBC presenter put to Lammy the guidance from the National Police Chiefs’ Council on its anti-racism policy, which states: “Our commitment to racial equity means producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups… It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality).”
The leftist government minister denied that this meant that there was not equality before the law, stating that “the complexity is [that] equality does not always necessarily mean the same” and that it is important to “understand that context can be different for different groups.”
Lammy, who has long been at the forefront of pushing racialised politics in Britain, said that now he does not believe that police are institutionally racist in the country, claiming that the UK has “moved on from that period”. He also rejected the notion that there is “two-tier” policing in which ethnic and religious minorities are treated with special dispensation, often at the expense of the native population.
This was rejected by Reform UK Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf, who said on Sunday that he believes the police are institutionally racist against white people, citing the NPCC policy guidance as evidence…
Jeff Laffite Jones says
This is how criminally insane and racist liberals really are. Liberals actually think that by being racist towards white people they are not being racist and more racism will end racism. There’s no fixing these mentally ill Leftists at this point. Just lock-em-all-up so they can’t do anymore harm to society and innocent people. Enough is Enough!
Luchtpint says
He’s just as scared of reality as the police officers (who turned a blind eye to the grooming gangs) were of being called racist. This rethorical drivel has become firmly embedded in left-wing policies.
Like you say, they all need psychiatric treatment. They need to be stuffed to the eyeballs with Haloperidol.
Stop doing it says
“…I’m afraid in our prisons, ethnic minorities are disproportionately [represented] in the criminal justice system…”
Perhaps they should stop breaking the law.

So it sounds like Leftie Lammy wants as many Whites in prison as there are minorities ‘regardless IF they’re guilty Or NOT?
This is what is happening everywhere in the West. The fact is when you begin having a ‘Majority Of Minorities of different cultures let into your Country, they begin to take over mainly because they are Protected.
WPM says
Sounds like he wants a “caste” system with many tiers depending on skin color and religion ? Will there be a quota that for every black ,brown ,or Moslem arrested a white person should also be arrested regardless of evidence of a crime? Should black, brown or Moslems be given lighter sentencing then whites , white Christians ,or Jews because of DEI? In the murder of Henry Nowark the standard police policy seems to be believe all people of color no matter the evidence you see with your eyes and ears .A young man on the ground bleeding out not a threat to anyone you handcuff him refuse to give any medical aid and drag him thru a gavel driveway then read him his rights as he dies right in front of you. This I am sure Leftie Lammy sees this as proper policing because violent felons never lie if they are persons of color no matter the evidence ?
somehistory says
Which weighs more, lammy; a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?
What he’s saying is, White guys don’t count if they are stabbed and bleeding to death and the perp is sikh or muzzie and claims the dying man called the perp a name. And it doesn’t matter whether the claim is true or the perp is lying. The perp will be believed and his supposed hurt feelings count more than the blood of the dying man. In this case, a teenager.
If the prisons have more minority ethnics (soon to be in the majority on the streets) locked up, it’s because those minority creatures are criminals committing and being caught.
Society is being turned upside down by the very ones Isaiah wrote about. “Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and darkness for light.”
King Solomon wrote: “Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.”
Widsom and understanding are sorely lacking in lammy’s world.

‘I’m afraid in our prisons, ethnic minorities are disproportionately [represented] in the criminal justice system.’
Lammy definitely strikes me as a man afraid of reality, plus the fact that it won’t conform to his expectations. And indeed, this clearly implies something more ominous, like Kurt Zindulka mentions. How much more evidence do we need of more two-tier Socialist authoritarianism ? WTF ??
“Ooooooh, look how scared I am”, the faggoty wuss !
What a fucking disingenuous waster !

regarding
‘I’m afraid in our prisons, ethnic minorities are disproportionately [represented] in the criminal justice system.’
here is a clue…
maybe ethnic minorities disproportionately commit more crimes.
Maybe that concept is too difficult for Lammy to grasp.
Luchtpint says
That is, if you really want to assume that Lammy is a genuine naive dumbass, which he isn’t.
An Oxbridge*educated elitist playing by the socialist “turn-the screws-on-anyone-who-disavows-our-social-experimentation” playbook.
That’s what he is.
Homer Bedloe says
The solution is to revoke the citizenship and deport any ethnic minorities who commit a felony. Too bad the U.S. hasn’t learned this.

The truth has been staring Westerners in the face for decades. You can take the African out of sub-Saharan Africa but you cant take sub-Saharan Africa out of the African. On a cognitive scale a majority of sub-Saharan Africans are on a completely different level compared to Westerners. Sub-Saharan countries prove that. Look at Haiti a part of the Western hemisphere (black ruled since 1804) and still a total basket case. The Western left subscribe to the Magic Dirt ethos. It is a prescription for disaster.
ploome says
you don’t have to look that far
tgusa says
The Western left will call themselves progressives when in fact they are regressive. They have embraced cultures and people from civilizations that are not comparable to Western civilization today. The fact is the people of Western civilization in 1901 had a more advanced culture and civilization than the cultures and civilizations the regressive left embraces today. On the left, regress is progress, backward is forward, up is down. If we want a return to the distant past the left is the way forward (or backward in their case).
tgusa says
You could go back to 1701 or 1501 and the fact would remain the same.
