Quite agree, the feelings and concerns of the indigenous population of these isles are either ignored or prosecuted against, in this crazy quest for a multicultural, multiracial society.

Instead of banning far-right groups, the government of this country would be better to listen to the people's concerns, without being frighten of being accused racist, then I am sure that if they did, these Far-Right groups would disappear from the political spectrum.

Taking the incident in isolation (rather than extrapolating it across the country as a whole) the man is a fool.
Making any sort of derogatory comments about your customers, whilst wearing identifiable, corporate work clothing, is the height of foolishness and he got his just desserts.

She realized it wasn't those sort of pads but this behaviour is typical.

it's typical that your daughter knows what a customer wants but refuses to help her, Clarion? I hope she never serves me, and for her sake you'd better hope her empoyers don't find out

The silly boy is just a lightweight ... here's a proper rant.

Talbot - Hopefully, that blokes employers (if they exist) will take similar action against him.......as should the Police.

[murraymints]

EEK !! he's bonkers !

I continue to be saddened but not surprised, at the soft support that racists like this charmer get from a small section of our membership. Shame on you.

[naomi24]

Mikey, what do you think of the man in Talbot's video?

[mikey4444]

Naomi....about the same as you did at 10:20.

He is clearly making racists remarks, otherwise he wouldn't have been arrested. It looks as if Sainsburys are none too pleased.

I don’t think that you should be arrested for racist abuse, unless it’s directed at an individual, because in that instance it may cause alarm and/or distress.

If someone is making racist comments (eg. “I hate Asians / white people / black people”) then I don’t think that should be an arrestable offence.

However, in this case, I think Sainsbury’s really has to sack the fella. They don’t need to do much investigation (video evidence), and they don’t need to wait for the outcome of the police investigation. He was wearing his uniform so he’s bringing the company into disrepute.

[sp1814]

I think the bloke on the tube should be arrested for causing harm/distress (thinking about context).

Some on here might be in a difficult position - thinking back to the white woman from last year who did the same (re: Asians), we had comments on here along the lines of, “But we don’t know what prompted her. We don’t know the full story”.

I remember that quite clearly.

[-Talbot-]

This one?

Great shame for Sainsbury's though, that man could have had a fine career in their P R department.

[cassa333]

The law should be blind and treat all the same.

But because of appeasement it isn't and doesn't.
