// If the black woman who got "beeped" at found it racist / offensive, then it was exactly that. // Spath appears to be saying something ridiculous here, and indeed he is, but in actual fact he's just stating the position of the law.

The problem is, ludwig, that when the lunatics run the asylum (as with this and the gender recognition issue which I commented on in another thread) logic goes out of the window.
My Lord McPherson was probably trying to be helpful with his recommendations. But this particular one states that an incident must be logged as racist if any individual deems it so. More than that, the individual need not be an alleged victim (though the recommendation did not include the word "alleged") or even present at the scene. This is clearly, as you say, utter nonsense. In any sane forum the recipients of the report would have simply said "Thanks for your time, My Lord, but this particular recommendation is utter tosh and we won't be accepting it thanks". But of course this is a matter of race and so enthralled are the authorities with the race lobby that such a response would be unthinkable.
