All she said was 'I used to live in England and now I live in the United Nations'

Which is very true. She is being being persecuted for stating the bleedingly obvious but uncomfortable truth . She is the taunted and teased by two Pakistanis next to her.

That is really funny. This kind of behaviour makes me laugh more than anything.

The UK is quite a strict country at this regard. Why do people risk jail time for such non-crime?

The question should be the other way around, why are people being persecuted and jailed for having un-pc views?

All she said was that the man wasn't British, which is true and that she used to live in England and now she lives in the UN, what's so facist or neo-nazi about what she said?

How is this the other way around? You just asked almost the same.

We all know that the UK has gone truly mad concerning their political correctness, which is more or less a modern form of censorship in a way. Dumbing down the human mind and programming people at how they should think. It helps of course that the woman behaved indecently. Neither that, however, should have been persecuted in a normal world.

I'm saying that the state should not prosecute people for tweeting a racist comment, your saying people should give in to PCness.

My not saying that at all. WTF?

[arerrurrY]

would she be prosecuted in your country?

[epPtsDno]

In Belgium she wouldn't I think. If she were some local celebrity, she would hit the tabloid media though. Recently there was some prosecution for something similar, but she didn't get punished and the prosecutor (a Black woman) dropped the charge.
In the Netherlands a cartoonist was once lifted off his bed by some police officers, had his computer confiscated, etc... for 'stirring up hatred'. Some imam reported him to some anti-racist organisation. Why? He drew cartoons mocking Islam. However, he immediately got the support of most political parties (also the leftists) and the public opinion was outraged for this. It are mainly the Christian Democrat CDA that is against freedom of speech in the Netherlands.

You're Belgian right?

Yep. The problem is European I think (especially Germanic Europe), but the UK has been advanced closest to the Kafkaesque level.
