I know New Addington too well. My former home is now on the tram route to New Addington.
Even there, there are people who would be offended by her. Her views may be common in some estates, but they are LESS prevalent than they were in my youth, spent in places similar to, and close to New Addington.
What upsets her, and people like her, is that New Addington is no longer an enclave of white former East Enders. It now has immigrants from Eastern Europe and descendants of immigrants from the Commonwealth.
Even the former East End, where some of my family lived, had immigrant populations that were abused and suffered prejudice, and that had been the situation for hundreds of years.
The overall situation, even in New Addington and similar places, is that racial prejudice is less than it was fifty or sixty years ago. I know that it still exists.
Blimey Og, West Wickham and Shirley are right next door but they are so different to NA.they might be on another planet. Incidentally my late wife taught at one of the four junior schools (Rowdown) on the New Addington Estate. She taught there for 4 years and never had a class in which less than 20% of the fathers were either ex or current prisoners.
New Addington has had large numbers of Carribean black people since the sixties. The local council used to concentrate the black tenants in just four particular streets!
New Addington was racist 40 years ago and like the rest of UK hasn't improved one iota. In fact it gets worse with every economic downturn. You're in denial mate.
The UK does not have a written constitution but we do have laws about inciting racial hatred.
I was going to say that myself.
You can't be serious. If a Muslim woman had done that it would have been reposted on every racist blog on the internet as an example of why Muslims should be deported and Islam eradicated.
But when a white English woman does it, she's simply exercising her right to freedom of speech
Personally, I'm not fan of hate laws (as we call them in Canada). However, the way that woman was carrying on- screaming and yelling and being abusive towards other passengers- was NOT acceptable. That sort of disruptive and disorderly behaviour should definitely be punishable.
Once upon a time it would have simply been dealt with as a breach of the peace.
And who incited her hatred of other races?It still can be, but if inciting racial hatred then the penalties are greater.

a LONE person of ZERO IMPORT cannot INCITE
Such is life on Airstrip One.People have been convicted recently for inciting a riot by using Facebook from their bedrooms.
If that's the only recommendation to her defence lawyer, she would be convicted.

that is not the point
WHITES CAN BE OFFENDED, EVERYONE CAN BE OFFENDED AND BEATEN
Only MUSLIMS have rights!
