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.

i thought she was having a rant on the train about there being too many foreigners in britain,its her point of view
she got shouted down by another english lady and some foriegners,arrested,put on you tube and now we are watching it online
more xenophobic /culture clash than racist but hey i'm probably wrong,she is certainly going to wish she kept her trap shut that is for sure
|
oh rants are completely fine imho..I don't mind if people just vent a bit. but pointing out skin color etc is just plain stupid and racist. she wasn't eactly in the calm mood either you know, she started shouting and got shouting in return. She was addressed in a much nicer fashion before she went F U on everyone right? and wait what is this 'english' lady bit about. The black lady was british too you know. Just because she isn't white doesn't mean she was not a citizen. So like i said the issue was not taking aim at illegal immigrants but all who are not white in general and claiming they are not british.
