A woman tells it like it is, and because she is white she is charged with a crime. She is also receiving death threats from a bunch of "tolerant" leftists and non-whites, but no word of any charges being filed against any of those people. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4552679...n-draws-death-threats-over-racist-train-rant/
Unfortunately, the majority of the Brits have become sissies. What a shame, that a once great society of folks with real mettle have now all become as noodle spines and limp wrists. Much of Europe is just as wussified. Canada is quickly becoming just as lame.
If Americans were smart --- OK , I am being silly --- they would keep their big mouths firmly shut and so start the haul back to tolerance and decency . First , this woman clearly has mental health problems . Don't demean yourself my using such a person to underwrite your scum bag beliefs . Second , in the UK it is an imprisonable belief to spout racially inspired trash . The British are far from being Cissies , as one of the idiots remarked here . Rather , they have re- evaluated their identity and choose to become racially tolerant and compassionate . People from around the world visit this sight , most just reading and not contributing . No wonder you are treated like second class citizens when people read your appalling "Hilly Billy " type garbage and when there are no guns to save you . You make people who were happy to know your parent's generation ashamed to be in your company , albeit only in the Virtual world .
Like I said, Brits are turning into candy-ass panty-waste. Hypocritical jerks as well. Its all they got left.
It's true, and the few that aren't candy-asses are mostly drunkards that spend all of their time in pubs and brawling at soccer games.
The woman clearly had had enough, and decided to unload. But that she then ends up charged with a crime is indicative of the surrender that has become Britain. And Europe. It is only going to get worse for the Brits. They will be conquered by the wombs of the Muslim, oft referred to as "the Jihad of the Womb".
I think you miss the point here. The police ARRESTED this woman for exercising her right to free speech. Only in a police state are the authorities able to get away with that.
Governments that can jail you for offensive opinions, also have the power to determine what is offensive. Sadly, American progressives look to the Eurozone for architectual guidance in constructing their utilitarian dysto....er...utopia.
I like the part of the video: "I am english what you have to say to me? Now just the (*)(*)(*)(*) up"
Are people really defending someone who literally says 'you ain't british, you're black'. She's been charged for racially aggravated public order offences, she hasn't been jailed. There are questions over freedom of speech that can be legitimately discussed, personally I think there probably should be some form of punishment for racial abuse.
Sure, why not? Freedom of speech in a free society depends on being able to say things that others may not like.
We are defending her right to say it. We are bashing the notion that you espouse above, which I bolded. We Yanks are known to fight to the death over such notions and rights. Our track record begins in earnest in 1775 ...... and you know the rest of the story
The woman's an idiot, but over here, she would have the free speech to speak her mind without getting jailed. Granted, she might get her ass kicked, depending on where she said this stuff.
Plenty of white men do that too. As much as right wingers complain about race baiting, many of them do it just the same.
"Libs" here are pretty moderate compared to liberals over there. Considering how impotent the Democratic Party was in attempting to pass a socialized healthcare system, I don't think you have much to worry about them trying to restrict freedom of speech.
Not really. They just aren't as numerous here yet. We still have a conservative majority to keep them in check.
I'm pretty sure that Americans will always be more conservative than Europeans. Our individualism and religiousness ensures that. Now, we might become more liberal socially as compared to Europe if Europe becomes heavily Islamic in the future, but that's another discussion.
I'd have to agree if this results in Islamism running things there. I don't think it's going to happen though. Over time, most Muslims in the West tend to become more moderate and less religious. It's like the difference between the average Turk vs. the average Saudi.
