Twisting this bigot into some sort of victim is disgusting. get a grip. The only reason anyone is defending her is because of the fact that it's the right wing that called her out.

If this girl was a Tory, you'd be taking the exact opposite side.

It'[s disgusting how some people on the left will defend racist bigots just because they are on their same political side. As if bigotry is only wrong when it's the oppossite political party that does it, if it's someone from the same party, well it's just a misunderstanding, it's a witch hunt!

Think for yourselves for once. seriously.

Police are now having to look into what she tweeted
after Public told them.

I believe she was between 14 and 16 when she made those posts anyway, and I think it's reasonable that she wouldn't go rummaging through her her status history, some of which started three years ago.

I'd go on all day but Jack's done a fine job of expanding on what I was going to say. I refer you to the rest of them.

If you are associated with public services your online conduct is open to scrutiny.. It's a sad fact, if you are 17 or 67 that is the case.

If this girl was a Tory? What does politics have to do with any of this?

I know what she said was wrong, and losing her job wouldn't be totally unreasonable. What I'm against is the public humiliation of her and the fact that the media would actually post pictures of her from her Twitter account, etc?

What she said was inexcusable, but so's Daily Mail's part in this.

Ms Brown turned 17 only a WEEK ago - before that, obviously, she was 16, so the tweets may well have been from only a few weeks ago .....

Glad to hear it - it seemed that the impression was that she'd been 17 for a while and that the tweets were in her past .....

How does that account for her posts aged 14 and 15?

The Daily Mail didn't post private pictures of her, She posted the pictures HERSELF. They just re-printed them.

It's not like the Daily Mail hacked into her phone and stole personal pictures that she never put into the public sphere. She posted all of this stuff HERSELF and she was PROUD of it all.

The former Kent youth police and crime commissioner has been interviewed under caution by a Special Branch officer over comments she made on Twitter.

Paris Brown, 17, who quit the Ł15,000-a-year post on 9 April, is being investigated over tweets which could be considered racist and homophobic.

A spokesman said police had received more than 50 complaints from members of the public and the force was trying to establish whether any criminal offences had been committed.

Miss Brown's lawyers Olswang said she was visited at home by two officers, one from Kent Special Branch, on 11 April when she surrendered her mobile phone for examination.

She was interviewed under caution at a Kent police station on 14 April and her phone was returned three days later.

Kent Police said in a statement: "Officers must first determine the extent of the misuse of social media so that the Crown Prosecution Service can then determine whether or not any potential evidence meets the set criteria for a prosecution.

"We will investigate all complaints thoroughly but cannot comment further on the progress of a live investigation."

Girl gotta record now ..... shrug::

The former Kent youth police and crime commissioner will not face prosecution over comments she made on Twitter, police have said.

Paris Brown, 17, who quit the Ł15,000-a-year post on 9 April, was interviewed under caution on 14 April over comments she posted before her appointment.

In a statement, Kent Police said: "We have spoken to the CPS about our findings and given them our view that this case does not pass the evidential threshold for prosecution.

"We will make no recommendations to them for charges and will take no further police action having discharged our duty to investigate."

The statement said that while some language used by Miss Brown was offensive, particularly derogatory comments about particular social groups, it did not believe they were grossly offensive.

Endof .....

Lucky Her

Hope she can put this behind her now. Learn from her mistakes and it doesn't affect her future.

Bit of a bump to this thread but she was mentioned on Big Fat Quiz of the Year and my cousin told me tonight that she is from our town and that she was in the same class as her at school.

Considering how far reaching this story is, I had never heard of it and I live on a pretty small island where this fine upstanding moron lives

Weird how small the world can be; one of my uni friends went to school with one of the Peru drug girls
