Racist Tweeter Arrested

The tweet read: "I confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said 'Nothing to do with me'. A mealy mouthed reply."


A man has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after allegedly posting a tweet in response to the Brussels attacks.

Do not trust someone who says they are anti-racist. They are completely unscrupulous like the nazis and communists were.

Are muslims a race now then?

anti-racism is becoming the last refuge of the scoundrel

Is plain old bog-standard racism the first refuge?

Yes possibly, but then maybe that is because they are generally more honest..and in the main nicer and less dangerous people.

You almost got an 'lol' out of me, lfc.

Let's all hope the Chief Constable is brought before Parliament or a Home Office Committee to explain why his/her officers have made such a catastrophic failure of policing, as exemplified by this ridiculous arrest.

I actually found his tweet amusing, if I'm allowed to say such a thing as a confirmed supporter of jihad.

It's staggering to think what can get you arrested. All the tools are in place for a police state. Good job we are a free society and are defending those values against those who wish to destroy them.

it is important for people in Britain (and most of Europe) to remember one thing. You must no longer consider yourself British or to have any responsibility or obligation to Britain or to the idea of being part of the millions of people who live here....you must withdraw from the nation state as much as possible and treat the vast majority of the people that you meet with suspicion and caution, even fear.
Say something that many thousands find offensive and they may not just shrug their shoulders..this is the mentality, its a new world and a dangerous one.

This ludicrous arrest means that any TV Politics broadcaster who asks a Muslim guest to 'explain' the latest atrocity committed by Peace-Loving Men will also have to be arrested.

....you must withdraw from the nation state as much as possible and

Not entirely true, but you must never, ever court a 'bad prejudice' running counter to the nation state's (and their media) agenda.

he should have just said it behind closed doors like they do at the mosque.

Pity Plod weren't so quick to arrest those ***** in Rotherham.

Mind you, this of course is a heinous crime..

yes roger,

once there was a city and the people there were all puppets. But they walked and talked. And there were no poets.

Yes!

Do not despise the snake for having no horns - for who is to say he will not one day become a dragon? So may one just man become an army

He deserves 20 years hard labour according to the Quran.
Worse if he'd been a female, stoned first in that case.

burton...........there was a programme on bbc2 about islam..........a business conference in the midlands made up of mostly middle aged  businessmen and women all of parkistani origin...........In a questionnaire mostly about business but some question were on other topics......one question was...........did they believe the 7\7 bombers to be guilty.......probably thinking they could be honest.....cant remember the exact figure but I think 8 out over 200 thought they WERE GUILTY......they were mostly older people.......not youngsters

The arrest is one thing but why the f was he (and is he) held in custody?

He got destroyed on Twitter tbf.  He should come on Chit Chat, would feel right at home!

tbf, he does seem a bit of an arse, and has probably destroyed his business.

How dare he question a Muslim over yet another atrocity..

The apologists clearly include the Old Bill (no surprise there) and the Twatter nutjobs.

Can't see how this is any anyway racist. Sounds more like a crap joke than anything. If he did genuinely approach a random muslim and ask this then he sounds a complete idiot for doing so and then posting about it on twitter given he is in public relations don't see what he thought this would achieve.

According to that they can arrest you for anything you might say or ask about Muslims on the grounds of inciting racial hatred.
Even after they've bombed a city.

The woman was white according to the report.

So it makes his arrest even more baffling.

Reported he has been taken to hospital.
This country is totally fkd.

"I confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels."

Confronted - come face to face with (someone) with hostile or argumentative intent. Legally, he's got a problem - you can't go around confronting people on the street!


Now if he had tweeted " I had a conversation with a passerby about Brussels. I was interested in her thoughts. She looked as though she may have been a muslim". Now he's just making innocent small talk to pass the time of day. No problemo

He should claim that's what he meant and he was just paraphrasing on twitter.

Microsoft unveiled Tay — a Twitter bot that the company described as an experiment in "conversational understanding." The more you chat with Tay, said Microsoft, the smarter it gets, learning to engage people through "casual and playful conversation."

Unfortunately, the conversations didn't stay playful for long. Pretty soon after Tay launched, people starting tweeting the bot with all sorts of misogynistic, racist

This happened on here with the cmat bot .

& stretch

it's not just our country that's barking. Over in the US a 12 year old girl has been arrested for pinching a boy's arse at school.

A GIRL of 12 has been charged with battery because she pinched a boy's bum at school.

Breana Evans was arrested and taken to a juvenile detention centre near Orlando, Florida after allegedly touching the boy during a playground game at school.

Initially Breana was suspended from school and the victim told the school he didn't want to press charges.

But police reported that his mother called and said she wanted to prosecute.

You'd think that the police would have better things to do than investigate pretendy-crime, not least since Croydon has become synonymous with gang-related crime.

The police are obviously over staffed if they've got time to waste on petty stuff like this.

That's why the Tories have been cutting their numbers.

The Long Arm of the Law has form as long as your arm for these sorts of ludicrous interventions.

Take this excruciating and pernicious investigation, where an elderly woman was basically arrested just for possession of a G*lliw*g toy. This non-crime made its way all the way to court before the case collapsed. The CPS offering no evidence after something called a 'High Level Review". Heads should have rolled across the police and CPS. None did.

And then there's this trifling non-issue which also required a police investigation. The person being investigated for 'race-hate' in this example below btw is a TV glove puppet called BASIL BRUSH.

It's almost beyond parody, but these things actually HAPPENED, and in OUR country, and WE paid for it.

Why hasn't this fella been arrested???

The religious leader at Scotland's biggest mosque has praised an extremist who was executed for committing murder in Pakistan, the BBC can reveal.

The crime was carried out because of apparent blasphemy against Islam.

We see the true nature of Islam lower down in the article. 30000 people attended the killer's funeral.

Perhaps the BBC ought to stop Muslims on the streets of Croydon and ask them about that..

Because not having equal rules for everyone would cause islamophobia, riots and world war 3

Croydon tweeter held in custody till tomorrow.
unbelievable.

Easy meat for our modern day Police force.Try getting them to confront real criminality. ..not a chance!

Now released without charge.

Incredibly, not content with trying to trample over free speech, plod doesn't even know the law:-

"Police may not make charging decisions on offences under Section 19 of the Public Order Act. There will be further consultation with CPS"

Morons.

This is deliberate.
Its to kowtow the British people.

The same happened to Emma West.
She was the lady that had a foul mouthed rant on a tram that was put up on youtube,most of what she said was absolutely correct.
She was not alone arrested but remanded in custody over Christmas,no bail.
Bail is given to lads with hundreds of previous,given to violent thugs,given to foreigners.

It worked in that case because after they threatened to take her children she emerged all contrite.

The message is out there,don't say anything about immigration.

The forumites Room0182 and WildmanfromBorneo are completely correct, and not for the first time.

Everyone on this thread (and to be fair probably 99.99% of the UK) knew this was an utterly absurd arrest.

Given the release without charge (after several days in police custody) many will conclude that the actions against Mr Doyle were quite deliberate and politically-motivated. Actions intended to intimidate others from speaking their minds freely on Terror.

Several days ago I suggested that the relevant Chief Constable should be summoned to speak before a Parliamentary Committee to explain why the ludicrous arrest was made, A root and branch investigation should also examine why the actions of individual officers.

Both processes should be addressed with the same merciless fast-track speed that was applied to Mr Doyle. As a concerned taxpayer I would expect anyone who acted with obviously poor judgement to be dismissed from their jobs. 

WildmanfromBorneo also makes the point that while all manner of thugs, wannabe terrorists and repeat offenders are routinely given bail, curiously it was never offered to Mr Doyle.

Here's an example of a person CONVICTED for terror offences who was inexplicably and REPEATEDLY bailed throughout the investigation process, leaving him free to pursue whatever activities he liked before his inevitable conviction.
