Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accused the Crown Prosecution Service of “doubling down” on “its regime of two-tier justice”, after its chief announced plans for prosecutors to consider “unconscious bias” before charging ethnic-minority suspects.
Stephen Parkinson, the head of the CPS, is set to introduce a new requirement in the code for prosecutors, telling them to be “mindful” of potential bias in their decision-making. He told MPs that many CPS staff had felt “affronted” by the suggestion that bias could exist in their work, but said he was “sure” unconscious bias was present and needed to be kept “in the forefront of people’s minds”.
“The Crown Prosecution Service is set to double down further on its regime of two-tier justice”, Farage said. “The head of CPS is to introduce a new requirement for all prosecutors to ‘consider unconscious bias’ before charging ethnic minorities. Let’s call this what it is: anti-White discrimination.”
Farage said the policy would only exacerbate the existing problem of two-tier justice.
“The CPS will effectively require prosecutors to think about ethnic minorities differently when considering charges”, he said. “This is the very definition of racism.”
The announcement comes amid growing public concern and outrage about two-tier policing and justice following the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was handcuffed as he lay fatally stabbed after his killer falsely accused him of racial abuse. Farage said he had hoped the tragedy would force the country to confront what has gone wrong.
Nowak’s murder was just one awful example of what has become standard practice - even official guidance - in policing. Forces have been pushed towards race-based guidance and diversity training, with the National Police Chiefs’ Council telling officers that “racial equity” does not mean “treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’”. In other words, the police are encouraged to treat ethnic-minority suspects differently.
“I called for an end to two-tier policing for good” in the aftermath of the Nowak case, Farage said. “This response tells us all we need to know.”
He accused Britain’s political and legal establishment of refusing to abandon racialised decision-making, warning that it risks tearing British society apart.
“That is why a Reform government will root out all traces of two-tier policing from our justice system. We will bring an end to anti-White racism within our institutions.”
