Anyone else seen this [NSFW] video? TL;DR version is some woman starts insulting people for being black, black people get pissed, another white woman starts yelling at the belligerent woman to stfu. Obviously very rare, but purdy shocking stuff to see such blatant racism on the London Underground.

There is no tram in the London underground.

That video was awful. Glad to see something's been done.

The most interesting thing about this is that her English speaking skills are inferior to the majority of immigrants in this country.

I assume she's drunk.

That's true - she was on Tramlink, which is operated by Transport for London, the same publicly-owned company that runs the Tube.

Yeah, my bad, stupid foreigner mistake. I just associate the British Transport Police with the underground since every time I rode it there was a "If you see suspicious activity, please contact the British Transport Police" PA like every ten minutes

The BTP cover all the railways, not just London Underground.

There's freedom of expression and then there's breach of the peace.

Then you better call the magistrate in charge of the case and tell him he's wrong...
