    Modern life mate. Just spent a long relaxing weekend in Devon. Got back to Paddington and within minutes of being jostled and barged out the way on the Bakerloo line to CX, I was ready to take a flame thrower to the whole tube train.
    Sorry that's inciting and planning a terrorist act.

    Old bill on their way...

    Queuing for public transport has nothing whatsoever to do with race or creed - it's just not done because it's not clear how to queue. I stand in queues every day with the very same types of people. I don't see Tesco being overrun with foreigners ignoring the system. I don't see it at ice cream vans, by cashpoints and I don't see it outside the Valley.

    I think this is more about psychology - if there isn't a clear queue at the bus stop, perhaps some people don't believe it's the accepted thing to stand behind someone else. I know that's the case with the trains. If there was a metal bar runnning alongside the bus stop, I'd wager people would stand along it in a queueing formation.

    I wish people would queue, but it simply doesn't APPEAR to work like that, so those who turn up at the last minute will try and get on before me. Age and nationality have no bearing on who might do it.

    i'd like to see a better queueing system at mcdonalds, it does seem to be a bit of a free for all when it's busy and a little bit stressful

    They discussed this on the Moral Maze on Radio 4 tonight.

    They all agreed that there was a fine balance to be struck between free speech and not giving scumbag trolls like Stacey the attention they crave.

    My view is that by locking him up they've shot themselves in the foot. Firstly he's had attention he doesn't deserve ironically meaning that his disgusting remarks have reached a far wider audience than they otherwise would have done.

    Secondly resentment is fostered as people will, with complete justification, raise the kind of question Goonerhater has.

    Do we then leave him unpunished so as not to give him publicity? I believe he got what he deserves and hope it serves as a warning to others to stop making abusive remarks over the internet, whether it be racist or otherwise.

    We're going to need a bigger boat jail. A lot of bigger jails.

    That's certainly how the Daily Mail reported it. I didn't read any genuine, bone fide evidence that race played a part in the incident, although that doesn't stop the subs from writing the headlines accordingly...
  • Speaking as a brother I think it's pretty wack how we can't all get along whatever our colour or creed.

    Testify.

    The Telegraph reported it in a similar way.

    Strangely, the Guardian didn't report it at all...

    ^^ This is what annoys me. I have no problem with people getting banged up for spouting foul racist trash but why oh why do certain specific incidents get treated totally out of proportion to others?

    So are we basically saying that sitting on twitter being racist is worse then actual violence/stealing etc.
    Because we all know stories of people who have done actual physical crimes and not had anything done to them, it annoys the crap out of me.

    Also on a complete sidenote, what happened to freedom of speech? If we can't say anything anymore then why are we not banging up all these protestors shouting abuse/filth about the soldiers abroad in conflicts?

    Hypocritical to the max.

    I thought agrivated race hate crimes including assaults carried tougher sentences, so could they appeal? Problem is sentencing seems to be inconsistent, need a balance between judges discretion and consistency, but I think this applies to most crimes not just race related ones, so not sure its a black and white issue (pun intended)

    Just because the three girls got away with a crime doesn't mean everyone else should be too... or am I missing the point? Race really doesn't make a difference, crime is crime.

    Steady on old chap......You hadn't put a quote in, so it could have been to a number of posters....including Mickey Bennett, so it was slightly confusing.

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that people should be getting away with a crime. The point is that the black girls get away with causing actual, physical harm to someone whilst the white guy gets banged up for typing.

    And race does make a difference in this legal system. Tag on the "Racially aggravated" prefix to a crime and the sentence is supposed to be more severe.
