  • something moderately luke warming to free speech

    A teenage schoolgirl was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English. Codie Stott's family claim she was forced to spend three-and-a-half hours in a police cell


    "Only one could speak English, so she had to tell that one what to do so she could explain in their language. Then she sat me with them and said 'Discuss'."

    According to Codie, the five - four boys and a girl - then began talking in a language she didn't understand, thought to be Urdu, so she went to speak to the teacher.

    "I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?' But she started shouting and screaming, saying 'It's racist, you're going to get done by the police'."

    Codie said she went outside to calm down where another teacher found her and, after speaking to her class teacher, put her in isolation for the rest of the day.

    A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school, and more than a week after the incident on September 26 she was taken to Swinton police station and placed under arrest.

    "They told me to take my laces out of my shoes and remove my jewellery, and I had my fingerprints and photograph taken," said Codie. "It was awful."

    After questioning on suspicion of committing a section five racial public order offence, her mother Nicola says she was placed in a bare cell for three-and-a-half hours then released without charge.
    So, can any GBer explain the whole section X racial public order offence cited here? how many are there, what do they apply to?

    Section 10? Doesn't the article, even the very portion you bolded, say "section five" ? Or are you confusing the roman numeral X for V?

          Proof GB has gone to ****. If the other dumb asses can't speak English then they should be put into a special class to learn English. This girls parents should sue since her child has been branded a criminal and denied access to proper education.

              Wonder why they went to school for in the first place. They'd hardly be paying attention if they couldn't understand the teacher.

                Maybe the teachers should be required to speak English in class unless they're teaching an ESL class.

                    I wouldn't take anything you see from the Daily Mail at face value either...if true then it is bad but what they portray has rarely been the whole story.

                            I'm claiming I won't believe it without a valid source. It's the Daily ****ing Mail.

                              It just doesn't sound like the complete story...I would need to find out more about these - but it only seems to be the Daily Mail who can find these stories...you never hear anything else about it from anyone.
