A woman has been arrested after an online video apparently showed a woman abusing ethnic minority passengers on a packed south London tram.
The clip, viewed more than 10,600 times since being uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, shows a woman sitting with a child, shouting at fellow passengers. British Transport Police said a woman, 34, had been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offence.
The incident happened on the Croydon to Wimbledon Tramlink route. Police are yet to clarify exactly where or when the incident happened.
In the online clip, the woman confronts several passengers, saying: "You are not British". She then starts swearing. When one passenger asks her to mind her language, saying "there are little kids on the tram", the woman points to the child on her lap and says "I've got a little kid here".
The woman then says: "Go back to where you come from".
In the video she then starts shouting at the woman who asked her not to swear, before another passenger intervenes, saying: "I am English, what have you got to say to me?"
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "The video posted on YouTube and Twitter has been brought to our attention and our officers have launched an investigation. At present it is not entirely clear which tram stops the offence took place between and when it occurred. As a result, we need anyone who witnessed this incident, or with any information that could assist our investigation - including the identity of the woman - to contact us.
"We will not tolerate racism in any form on the rail network and will do everything in our power to locate the person responsible."

Pissed as a fart (and with that poor kid holding a Burberry). She HAS to be EDL.
ReplyDeleteShe HAS to be EDL
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Croydon BNP....Remember Charlotte Lewis ?
Who would want to be stuck on a train with someone like her?!?
ReplyDeleteRemember Charlotte Lewis ?
ReplyDeleteCan't be her, she has never had a baby or a job!
I would suggest that the woman is given a Train Asbo, stopping her allowing to travel on all trains and underground trains for five years, the thick racist moron.
ReplyDeleteHe's obvioulsly an EDLer.
You cam just tell. It's in the ways she doesn't even have the mental capacity to say something more in keeping with the BNP's more organised modus oprandi of racism.
That poor bloody child.

ReplyDelete"She's not he's..." Typing on a blackberry about such stupid racists gets cumbersome, and my fingers get intensely numb through overtyping.
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to rave on about how braindead these EDLers are.
For fuck sake, give that someone give that stupid racist woman a brain transplant.
No wander britain doesn't have elected fascists in parliament. They are all thick as two fuckin' short planks.
Thanks for putting up this video Ketlan. Do you think you could please republish this "ATTACK OF THE EDL ZOMBIES" (caption) picture as it encapsulates everything intesely moronic, pug ugly, cheap and nasty about these drunken neo-nazi scum!

Can you imagine what kind of adult that child would turn into :-(
"The Telegraph newspaper are trying to stitch up a woman who dared express her opinion"
ReplyDeleteThat's an opinion? I didn't hear anything throughout the whole video that could be classed as a legitimate "opinion", it was just an abusive racist rant.
I wonder if her and Barnes are related?
What the hell!!!!! all that swearing with her kid and all the other kids!!!! its discusting!!! stupid cow tho couldnt even name a country she is a discrace to the british public people like her are what are ruining this country not blacks!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot watch this. Why is the sixty four thousand dollar question. Is this happening in TWENTY ELEVEN?
ReplyDeleteQuestions need to be asked in Parliament over certain newspapers failure to root out racial hatred from their online comments. What is happening is that after reading the most vicious racist (and otherwise) bigotry and hate speech at the foot of online news stories, racists think its okay to use that same hate speech in public. This is totally unacceptable in modern Britain and I would advise antifascists to write to their (non-Tory) MPs on this matter before the problem of racist rants upon innocent people becomes widespread and uncontrollable.
At least the Morning Star disables its online comments for each story, disagree with what you read leave the website sort of thing...
And here's Lee Barnes, the BNP's former 'legal advisor':

No. They (Daily Telegraph) would rather pay Dr David Starkey to express his racist opinion instead.

That would greatly increase the risk of him procreating. Very bad idea.
I am not a lover iof social workers but this id a case for WSocial Services to intervene. A pissed up violent (presumably ) mother- obviously this child is at risk and should be taken into care if he is not already on the at risk register. Perhaps a disk of thisvideo shold be sent to LB Croydon social services. I regret I have not got the euipment to do so myself,

ReplyDeleteThere may be a BNP link to this woman. The person arrested is called Emma West, 34 of New Addington.
ReplyDeleteOn facebook an "Emma West" is liking loads of BNP themed pages including this one
"Make Luke North Mayor of Tilbury - BNP"
I just read in the local newspaper that this woman suffers from depression and has been remanded in custody for psychiatric evaluation. She was said to be crying throughout the court appearance. She is obviously a vulnerable woman who needs help and treatment, not hatred and ridicule.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly this video has reached 3,438,078 hits (so far). Viral or what.

I did indeed pluck up the courage to watch it, as sickening as it was. I really felt sorry for her child - it could well have been me. I had a very racist mother and grandmother and I really hope young master West questions the racist bullshit mummy will undoubtedly spoonfeed him throughout his school years.
Apparently, she's a dental nurse.
She WAS a dental nurse, one can now safely say.
Does she make you proud to be British?? She makes me wish I was Australian in actual fact.
ReplyDeleteAgain, there's still much ignorance and bigotry on the comments section of her channel (ladyk89), much much more so than the rantings of Emma West herself it seems. The fascists are trying to hijack it.

ReplyDeleteReally? She didn't seem all that 'vunerable' when she was abusing people.
Maybe she was crying because she got found out and realises that actions have consequences and that society is less accepting on open racism that it once was.
No sympathy.
