Manchester airport attack: victim-framing, Labour’s muslim problem & a police force in peril

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, have been at the centre of a high‑profile case after Amaaz was found guilty of violently assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport last July. Dr Rakib Ehsan joins Spectator TV to discuss the trial and systemic rush to judgment by some Labour politicians and the media. He critiques how politicians and media figures leapt to conclusions before all facts were verified, and discusses the wider issues around policing in multicultural Britain, identity politics, and whether frontline officers are physically and institutionally equipped to face modern threats.
