"IM DISGUSTED AT THIS COUNTRY!! In May 2010, Tohseef Shah spray painted a British War Memorial with "islam will dominate osama is coming" he was fined £50 & walked free from court. In November 2010, Emdadur Choudhury burned a Poppy during the 2mins silence. He too was given a £50 fine and walked free from court Today, 2 men have been sentenced to 12 months in prison for spray painting a Poppy on a mosque. Welcome to the Great British justice system. Disgusting.... Who's brave enough to Copy & Paste this!"

I can tell from my personal experience that the police in this country is fucked up, something happened within my family that is considerably more drastic than burning a fucking flower and they got away with it - on the account that they were native British.

What happened?

@ Bolded

I'm sure that's not the case.

Trust me, it really was.

I don't even want to start talking about it, because I know I'll get severely pissed off again.

I lol'd, big time!

You would find that there are a LOT of people in the UK who share the same thoughts as her, it's just she actually had the balls to speak her mind...

The Government doesn't like you having your own thoughts or making your own decisions though, so that gets stopped straight away. I think it's shitty what she said, I think it's shitty that she did it in front of her child like that, I think it's shit she isn't allowed to speak her mind.

And TadpoleJackson, so to you, racism isn't an offence worth dealing with?


Not by the police, no

it was racist and disrupting public peace.

If you read the tweet it specifically mentions the "law" she broke. Disturbing the peace is another law in the UK.

Did you watch the video? I hope she stays in prison for a long time - but our court system is so soft, she'll probably only get a few months

Yes, I did. A few months is way too long for being a jackass. A few hours is way too long.

well so she was arrested on racial outburst charges alone it seems..still deserves it imho BUT I do agree few months is way way too harsh. A day or so would have done just fine. Didn't know about that tid bit before so thanks for telling me.

@zuvuyeay: no one is saying it won't happen anywhere else tho, I mean I for example said it outright at the very start that I see it over here as well. But she was being racist. at least the way she came off was racist. She wasn't saying illegal immigrants should gtfo or something..she was specifically targeting people with different skin colors. Blacks..browns..etc. How is that not being a racist? It's not being foul mouthed that got her in hot waters.

Not true! She was not specifically targeting people with different skin colors. Only blacks or browns. Listen again. She was targeting polish people too. Polish are white if you don't know and there is a lot of polish immigrants in UK. So what she is targeting is exactly immigrants, no matter their color.

ugh she told that lady who told her that she is british that she aint cuz she is black >_> and blacks and browns can be citizens of Britain too yeah? I don't think the polish bit (which is mentioned just once mind you, rest of it were a rant of blacks and browns) is what got her in deep shit.

A lot of people have a lot of views. I don't think air shows are a good thing, they have caused numerous deaths and injuries over the years and I speak vocally about this, it's my freedom to do so but in speaking about this view I am not harming anyone. Being racist is something else entirely. This woman as suggested by others in this thread wasn't using immigrants as an example, she was racist, using black community as an example mainly, many (most) of whom were born, lived and worked here for longer then she has.

She got arrested because she was racist, not because she spoke her mind.



Hmm, pie.

Don't think that a prison sentence was necessary, but she shouldn't have the chance to raise her child until she made some kind of therapy
