British Man arrested & jailed for "racist" ringtone - PC gone mad

A pandemic  has hit Great Britain (and the Western world) and it's not the bird flu or the swine flu - it is a disease more infectious and vile. A disease that makes the host literally stupid - and that disease is Political Correctness.  Political correctness is a festering boil of mind and thought control with the purpose of ending rational dialog by being particularly adept at shutting down disagreeing critics. The media enables the metastasis of PCism by being complicent and is also guilty of inflicting political correctness on the masses. PC is often coupled with (false) accusations of "racism" or labelling the offender "racist" in order to muzzle any dissent and pave the way for the forced brainwashing of "acceptable" thought via 'sensitivity training'.

No surprise that Political Correctness and Islamisation of Britain & Europe has gone hand and hand. Dhimmified PCers in the British government, law enforcement and judiciary have paved the way for Islamization to fly into Britain and Europe on an Ali Baba magic carpet. Thus muslims are flocking in droves to Great Britain.  And, on a daily basis, Sharia law creeps into everyday British life - and is an alarming harbinger of the decline of Britain.

So along comes the latest politically correct "offense" to be added to the ever growing list of Things that Offend Muslims - a cellphone ringtone:

Ringtone race row lands fan in a cell

Published Date: 07 September 2010

MOVIE fan Martin Smith landed in court on a racism charge after he downloaded part of the soundtrack from the 1980s comedy film Rita, Sue and Bob Too! and installed it as a ringtone on his mobile.

Martin, of Holmewood, north Derbyshire, claims friends and workmates got used to hearing the voice of an Asian actor reciting the words "I can't help being a Paki…".

But a woman from a mixed race family wasn't amused when Martin's Nokia went off as she queued alongside him at a village shop.

Over-hearing the clip from the movie – which chronicles the exploits of two schoolgirls growing up on a rundown estate in Bradford – the woman went home and lodged a formal complaint with the police.

Officers arrested the 36-year-old at home two days later and locked him in the cells at Chesterfield for four hours before charging him with contravening race relation laws.

Angry warehouseman Martin hit out after magistrates fined him £191 with £85 costs for using racially aggravated threatening or insulting words or behaviour.

He said: "Arresting me was a total over-reaction - surely the police have better things to do with their time.

"If Channel 4 can put Rita, Sue and Bob Too! on TV all the time, as it does, then why can't I play a clip from the soundtrack on my phone?

"If it's good enough for prime time Tv then it ought to be good enough for me and my mobile.

"My ringtone wouldn't have suited everybody, but the film's my all time favourite. I've seen it 15 or 20 times and I should be able to download what I want without the police hauling me off to the cells and calling me a racist.

"I've had the ringtone for a year and nobody's ever complained. All my friends and workmates thought it was hilarious.

"I've got a lot of Asian friends, who've seen the film and they thought it was really funny as well.

"I wouldn't have minded if the police had taken me to the station and told me to get it changed.

"I get on really well with Asian people and the last thing I wanted to do was upset anyone. I just did it for a bit of fun because I love the film so much.

"I'll not be taking any chances with the ringtone in future though. I'll be sticking to plinky plonky music like everyone else from now on."

The court was told the unnamed woman, who was from a mixed African-Mediterranean background, overheard the ringtone while she was waiting to be served at the grocery store near Smith's home in Holmewood.

Jon Barber, defending, said his client denied making a racist remark in front of the complainant, but accepted the woman may have been offended by the ringtone.

"He thought it was amusing – but it's a lesson learned."

Shopkeeper Geoff Wallage said the woman had made no complaint to his staff at the time.

"I feel very sorry for Martin, he's a really decent bloke with a great sense of humour and he didn't deserve all this trouble. I feel that it's been a complete waste of public money. They should have told Martin to swap his ringtone and left it at that, instead of dragging him to court.

"I've got a Pakistani accountant and he couldn't believe it when I explained what had happened. It's just ridiculous."

It's all going to end in tears and bucket loads of blood on the streets. Our political elites must be made to pay for their treachery,assets sequestrated,and thrown out the country alongside the muslims they have inflicted upon us.

[Infidel Task Force]

There is a war coming...muslims will die...English will die...
Political correctness is destroying one of the finest civilizations in the world and nothing will stop it now. Muslims play the victim and the Brits say OK Sir!!

I'm afraid its too late.

Here in the USA, the state of Louisiana has outlawed Mad Pig Shariah. In November, the state of Oklahoma will outlaw Mad Pig Shariah if people approve. There are only a few stupid people in Oklahoma. So we can be sure that Mad Pig Shariah will be outlawed in Oklahome in less than two months, November 2, 2010.

Some lawmakers are trying to outlaw Mad Pig Shariah in the whole country. I feel confidant that Mad Pig Shariah will be outlawed in the USA soon.

Remember when it started, huge amount of joking about being folically challenged or vertically challenged. We are not laughing now are we? Time for everyone in Britain to remember what 2 world wars were fought for, freedom of speech, and the enjoyment of our homeland and to object to foreign death cults trying to rule our little Island.

This is all going to end very very badly.
Will the dhimmi class ever be granted special victim hood status in England one day ?

WTF? How did the bint even find him? Did she follow him home?

[NoJizyaTax]

According to Muhammad, "Persecution is worse than slaughter". I believe that the UK is being persecuted by Islam. It is time to destroy it. If not politically, then physically. Political correctness is collective cowardice. It is time for the politicians to fear the people.

[Jerry Myers]

As this story states the COMPLAINENT was UNNAMED!

What happened to the MAGNA CARTA and the right to face your accusers in open court!?!?!?

Well let'em come and arrest me...
PAKI PAKI PAKI PAKI PAKI!!!

[Luna Sangria]

It seems that these Pakis, or Mu-slimes in general, are trying to make us hate them. Well, with me it has succeeded. After seeing and hearing all their rapes, and murders, and child abuse, and every kind of foul terrorism, that they should now claim "victim" status? Yes,if they want us to hate them, they have thoroughly succeeded with me. Let the open war begin.

[supra shoes for boy]
