From the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16051120
A woman accused of racially abusing fellow passengers on a busy tram watched a film of her alleged rant when she appeared in the dock.Emma West, 34, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.She cried as the three magistrates watched the footage, which has now been seen more than 11 million times online.Ms West pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody.The hearing was adjourned until later to give time for the defendant to prepare reasons for her not guilty plea.Ms West was arrested after the footage, filmed on a Croydon to Wimbledon tram, was posted on YouTube.
After watching the video on - http://liamobrien-wherediditallgowrong.blogspot.com/2011/12/racist-remarks-on-tram.html - I would love to know how this woman can plead not guilty. It is quite plain and simple - she has committed the crime of a racially aggravated public order offence. I think the 11 million people that have also seen this video would also agree with me - On this issue i would also like to say how appalling this woman's behaviour is. I would like to think that we are beyond this kind of behaviour in modern society but this is clearly a dream, honestly, i think this behaviour is disgusting.
