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. |
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.

She's a nasty, angry, xenophobic bitch, but she could be acquitted of racism charges and even compensated for unjust arrest and detention. It could even be a planned show, didn't anybody notice that for all that rage she had a suspiciously careful choice of words? She said "Blacks ain't English, ain't British", but a good lawyer could claim she was simply referring to the ethnicities being distinct, and the only proper insult she uttered is "f*ing", that's rude but very generic, not racial, while she never implied badness or inferiority of Africans or Polish, just "f*ing" (I'm quite sure for whole decennia after the end of WWII Germans were commonly referred to by Brits with far worse epithets than "f*ing").

1. I don't mind is she is aquited as the statement has already been made, be a 'xenophobic bitch' in public and get arrested. I, as a white British citizen, do not want people like her in my country.
2. The WWII reference was a bit weird btw, not in context at all in this instant and completely different situation.

1. My point was that it could be a rant staged on purpose to stir a public controversy.
2. About this, I just wanted to point out that, not only in UK, it happens here in Italy too, and I suppose also in the rest of the world, it looks like you are supposed to be more politically correct towards some ethnic and religious groups than others. For example nobody cares about offending Christians or Buddhists, while almost everybody is careful to avoid offending Muslims. Jews can be offended only if they are from Israel, and in that case Italian lefties find it almost mandatory to offend them. Everybody finds acceptable to hate China due to large scale death penalty, outsourcing and loss of workplaces in the West. Only blacks can call "n*" another black or themselves. I find all this in the best case ridiculous, in the worst hypocritical and in some cases cowardly too.
