A peer who is advising ministers on their definition of Islamophobia compared the police response to the Manchester Airport attack to the murder of George Floyd.

Baroness Shaista Gohir, CEO of the Muslim Women's Network UK, was quick to accuse officers of 'police brutality' and rashly claimed the incident had 'remnants of the George Floyd murder'.

The women's rights campaigner was only one of a series of high-profile Left-wing figures to seemingly jump to conclusions.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was found guilty on Wednesday of attacking PCs Lydia Ward, breaking her nose, and Ellie Cook, who suffered facial bruising. He was also found guilty of an attack on a plane passenger in a Starbucks cafe.

The assault happened on July 23 last year, when Amaaz and his brother, 26-year-old Muhammed Amaad, went to the airport to collect their mother. Violence broke out when three officers approached Amaaz to arrest him over the Starbucks incident.
