Both.
I like an easy question to start the day.

[spathiphyllum]

It's men like this we need to watch out for. Anyone who has the confidence to give 5 min hate speech on a public train is a loony.

[spathiphyllum]

If i was on that train i would have reported him to the police as a potential far right terrorist. Promoting gunning down of over 40 people.

[Old_Geezer]

Racist is a word applied in many inappropriate situations.
Words tend to lose meaning by overuse these days.
But no, I've no idea which it is.

At least in this case I don't think that they can pin it on a Far-Right White Supremacist.

[vetuste_ennemi]

It doesn't matter.

So what?

All Tories are scum.

Sticks and stones blah blah.

Let's hope PC (PC - geddit?) Plod doesn't waste his time hunting own the "hater".

If everybody who got drunk, or just got angry and frustrated, got charged for saying "I'm going to f*g well kill you"...

Need I say more? (In today's distorted moral priorities I suppose the answer is yes)

[spathiphyllum]

"Let's hope PC (PC - geddit?) Plod doesn't waste his time hunting own the "hater". "

So if this mans goes and attacks a mosque, or maybe civilians on the street for wearing burkas, then what?

Now imagine if this was a Muslim man, condoning the death of 40 non Muslims. You would absolutely flip out.

I personally don't see the difference.

[ladybirder]

There were muslims celebrating in the streets after the 9/11 attack.

[spathiphyllum]

Well they were Palestinians you'd have to ask them why on earth they did that. Certainly no Muslim world leaders were in favour of the attacks, they condemned them.

[anotheoldgit]

/// He started his rant by addressing fears about taking public transport in the capital. He said: 'I can't even get a train to work without even worrying if a Muslim is going to blow me up. ///

Perhaps in this case he does have a point.

Free Speech is a wonderful concept, but like all hard-won and cherished freedoms, it has its downsides.

This is one of them.

[youngmafbog]

Quite AH, we have hate preachers from all walks of life. Best ignored unless it is continual, otherwise you give them the oxygen of publicity.

As for this fella, he was just wasted, as for Spaths usual OTT assertion he is now going to murder a load of people I would imagine once his hangover has passed he will be regretting his actions, as many of us do the next day.
