Nedusa drama

lol

Leave her alone :nono:

She watches Farscape. That makes her ok in my book.

Tbh,As bad as it is,This happens to people every day.It's only mentioned because she has some 'celebrity' status.Don't like the woman but she does'nt deserve that tbf.

Australian sci-fi?


That is disgusting :nono:

:joker: that smilie

no-one deserves to be racially abused and spat on.

I would actually rather be hit than spat on :/

Number 9 bus? woahh,why do bad things always happen on the number 9 bus?

I would love to know just what she's said that was so objectionable... Never heard of her saying anything offensive.

Ugh. I remember one time when i was a kid, i poked my tongue out at a boy from across the playground and he walked up to me and gobbed right in my face. I stood in shock at first, then i burst out crying. Not a pleasant experience i must say. Since then i absolutely HATE the act of spitting.
I don't know the woman, never heard of her but idc what she's said, she didn't deserve being spat on, that's assault (or worse than) imo.

:joker:

Synchronicity.:hehe:

I'm saddened that some people here think it's fine that this happened to her.

I detest spitting, even people spitting in the street, so I find this incident reprehensible - if it did happen. Personally, I am not convinced that it did. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a highly intelligent woman, no 'shrinking violet, and an adept media manipulator, and I do not believe that she would not have whipped out her phone and recorded the incident - if not the actual incident itself, then at least the aftermath and most certainly the perpetrator - to be used to capitalise on at later times.

I know that incidents of racial abuse do occasionally occur, because videos do sometimes appear on YouTube, but they are not as prevalent as suggested, and I don't believe they are on the increase in general.

Alibhai-Brown has made herself a target for some degree of reactionary abuse because of all the thinly-veiled dogmatic views she broadcasts at every opportunity, and it is a fact that when someone so desires and secures the 'limelight', then they must accept the 'brickbats' as well as the 'bouquets'. Moderation is a sword which cuts both ways.

As for the underlying subject of 'integration' - it is a fallacy in general. Yes, there are different race families living in harmony in predominately 'white English' neighbourhoods, but these tend to be in middle to upper class areas and these 'different race' families in question tend to be white collar professionals.

Elsewhere in the UK, there are 'Ghettos'. This is a fact, and though there are diverse reasons for it, the main reason is that incoming immigrants gravitate towards their own kind who are already here.

This leads to 'states within a state' not genuine integration, and nowhere is it as crystalised as in Asian ghettos, where any non-Asian 'visitors' are viewed through chinks in curtains with deep suspicion, or by gangs of Asian youths outside corner shops with open hostility.

So, Mrs Alibhai-Brown remember when your spouting your camouflaged propagandist rhetoric, that like 'Moderation', 'Racial Intolerance' is also a 'sword which cuts both ways'. In addition, remember that if you can't stand the heat, don't keep fanning the flames.

Post of the thread, Kirk.

"Alibhai-Brown has made herself a target for some degree of reactionary abuse"

Sure
so use a Taxi
not Public Transport

I agree with your post.......of course I do not want people "spat" on because of their beliefs, I was being a bit ironical in that she got her come uppance as I personally find the woman extremely offensive and quite dangerous.

That she is given a public platform incl chat shows and topical news programmes to air those views , is quite shocking.

But spitting on the woman is I agree totally unacceptable.
