We've told you a bit about the horrible two-tier justice system in the U.K. Child abusers and rioters who are, um, not of U.K. origin often get minimal sentences (if any) for their crimes. This writer covered it back in August.
Nigel Farage is an MP in the U.K. reform party. He's been an outspoken critic of Labour and unfettered immigration to the U.K. The Left -- in the U.K. and the U.S. -- are not fans.
Back in June, a woman named Victoria Thomas-Bowen threw a milkshake at Farage. In a country where memes that hurt feels can land you in prison, you'd think assaulting a politician would warrant punishment, right?
Wrong.
The man who threw an egg at Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 was found guilty of assault by beating. He went to prison.

Victoria Thomas-Bowen was convicted of the very same crime against me today but was spared jail time.
This is an undeniable example of two-tier justice in our country.
Just amazing.
The man who threw a milkshake at you on 2019 received Community Service

In addition Corbyn was an MP and Leader of the Opposition
You were an unelected candidate for a minor Party
Ah. So some people are more equal than others.
Good to know.
It's because it's you, Nigel. The establishment was mostly likely laughing at you.

Show them who's boss in 2025. A GE will come be ready. The people will not stand by and watch Labour turn this country into 2 tiers for any longer

Of course it's because of who the victim is.
To be fair, nobody should be in prison for egging another person.

That's a slap on the wrist offence at best.
We don't disagree.
The problem is the different treatment based on who the perpetrator(s) and victim(s) is.
Any two-tier justice system is scandalous especially if it's politically motivated. Biden's US justice system was weaponised against Donald Trump. https://t.co/f34MvDJIVZ

And that's the issue here.
The person who egged Corbyn should have been knighted https://t.co/qPU40Q7l8I

Heh.
It’s scary to think that whether you’re jailed or not could all depend on which side of the political spectrum you’re on https://t.co/foeunkknAR

Or that your attacker could get a lighter sentenced based on which side of the political spectrum they're on.
