As long as someone is in their own property or in a public place (which I assume the bus she was on was indeed publicly owned and a public service) I believe they should be welcome to voice their opinions even if I disagree with what they have to say. To arrest someone for voicing a opinion no matter how much is differs is wrong in any case and will only fuel their hatred.

That's either the most stupid racial slur or the most awesome band name I've ever heard.
I'm sure someone, somewhere, is playing the smallest violin for you.scw55 said:Wales is considerably less racist than England. We're too busy hating the English due to the hundreds of years of suppression of our language and culture in our own country! I think the same would be of any Celtic British nation.Arkaniack said:"A load of f'in' Polish"? ahahaha... me not like them too (political reasons, screwed and still tries to screw Lithuania). Sadly I am thinking of immigrating to Great Britain...
LOL this guy is hilarious!!! now i don't feel so bad every time someone says america is dumbass of the world. but then again there's still westboro baptist church, or just kansas for that matter.Daystar Clarion said:From what I can gather, my generation is split into two groups.mega48man said:ugh....really? i thought the common british person didn't give a shit about trivial stuff like race, gender, and nationality, especially a young(ish) woman. was she drunk? i didn't see anything like that in the reports, but in america, people go on tangents like that in public when they're drunk (and i have mel gibson to use as prime evidence).
and i just LOVE how useful youtube and the internet has become. first we were using it to catch abusive cops from occupy demonstrations, and now we're catching idiots who make fools out of themselves! (well we've caught bill o'riley time and time again, but we haven't arrested/killed that idiot yet)
The people who see the world around them, the culture, the issues, and form an opinion based on fairness and objectivity.
And then there's people like the woman in the video.
People who inherited their ignorant, racist and bigotted opinions from their equally ignorant, racist and bigotted parents, who have never formed their own opinion and can barely construct a sentence without sounding like they've only just learned the damn language.
These kind of people.

Its just sad but.. welcome to police state UK. Don't say anything out of line or you'll be seeing bars.

She's probably got a weekly pass and a membership card.hazabaza1 said:So how many times do you think she's been on the Jeremy Kyle show?
Firstly, don't be a dick bro. Secondly, she is of a very tiny minority of assholes in England. We're actually generally nice, queue-loving people.Supascoot said:I love England...

I think it was because she seemed to be intentionally inciting violence. She was surrounded by black people and started shouting "FUCKING BLACK PEOPLE GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!" to incite some violence, which she nearly DID until that guy behind her was calmed down in a rather quiet manner.LilithSlave said:I don't know whether Escapist is lagging again, whether there's several threads on this topic and I'm confusing them all together as the same, or whether I had an error in my last post and it'll never go through.
But I would like to ask again, just our of curiosity, since I don't know if I want to give such a video a view, ... how is this different from internet trolling and trolling in general? Is trolling a crime now?
The father is most likely not with them and, if my short time learning the rather pointless subject of sociology is anything to go by, means that the kid will solely rely on its mother for opinions, guidance ect...-KC- said:I feel sorry for the kid who's being raised by such a *****. I hope that she won't influence him at least.
She stood up on a train full of black people and shouted "FUCK ALL THESE BLACK PEOPLE" for about six minutes. She wanted them to hear the bullshit she was saying to cause violence, and she very nearly did just that.Octogunspunk said:Exactly, but since the draconian Race Relations Act even those comments can be interpreted as inciting violence. It's warped beyond belief.this isnt my name said:Tell me wherehe incited violence, I didnt read anything along the lines of "these people should be shot if they dont leave" she didnt say anything violent, she was hostile, but thats not inciting violene.

Why shouldn't it be? Do you not have a right not to be attacked for your genetics just because some prick can't exercise self-restraint? You can't honestly say you'd ever verbally abuse someone for something like that in public, right?MaxwellEdison said:And here we come.Vanguard_Ex said:Edit: And before they crawl out the woodwork, no, she is not protected by freedom of speech.

She's massively fucking stupid, but that shouldn't be a crime. *I recognize that it is in that country*, but it shouldn't be. I'd rather have crazy assholes on my tram than a government that can arrest me for being a dick.

It can also just mean someone who is uneducated/ignorant.
Actually, completely disregard what I said after quoting you. I realise on re-reading your post that I had completely missed your point.Vanguard_Ex said:Why shouldn't it be?
