Great that the tribunal found in his favour but pretty horrifying that it had to come to that.
You have to hand it to the left they are masters at making racial and sexual discrimination sound like a positive idea.Why in the sweet fuck would you want an officer with a disability?

Call me crazy but this sort of thing frightens me. Bacon, Butter, Eggs and Jam classified as too dangerous to appear on tfl advertising in London.
edt. My mistake the Eggs are fine everything else is problematic
At first glance, it makes you go "what". But meh, do you really care what gets advertised on the underground? So yes, definitely crazy to be frightened. You chose the wrong simpsons gif.

Hilarious that there is still beer and wine on the ad though.

Ignore the hyperbolic tweet description but the content is disturbing. Police admit he didn't commit a crime but they have been sent around to advise him that he is being watched with what he says online.
I'm all for people being held accountable for what they say on social networks, but sending cops around to peoples houses to say you've done nothing wrong but be careful, seems like a frankly ridiculous waste of resources!!

Waitrose doing their part to fix racism!

I wonder if the outrage would have happened if it was the 'white' one that was called ugly...why no offence to the brown one that is crispy?
Crispy = bacon
Bacon = offensive (see post above) -
@taniwharugby From what I understand it stemmed from one twitter complaint from someone with 100 followers...at some point politicians, media and corporations have to work out that the extremist hysterical folk on twitter aren't representative of the general populace.

It alone deserves a follow up from the police.

For those who are interested it looks like we have a conclusion to the Nazi pug story.
Markus Meecham (aka Count Dankula) who was arrested for teaching his girlfriend's pug dog Nazi tricks in order to piss her off, will not be going to jail.
Although he refused to pay the £800.00 fine and was fully prepared to go to jail, the deadline passed and he even rang the police to remind them to arrest him. He was advised that he hadn't come up on their 'system' yet. Next thing you know £800.00 mysteriously disappears from his account thereby denying him his protest at the absolute absurdity of this whole situation.
Along with Sargon of Akkad He is now running as an MEP for UKIP in the upcoming European elections.

@Kirwan Yep that's his strategy. No matter what they say or do mainstream media is going to lie and misrepresent them so the best thing to do is abuse the crap outta them knowing it will get reported and rely that genuine people will do their own research.
