    i can't believe how many of you are justifying the actions of this bnp scum. they were out on the streets clearly trying to get a response.

    can you not hear the audio at the beginning of the clip !!!!!!? the bnp is asking "how many of you are robbers"

    they are all nasty characters, both sides
    goading like that is totally wrong, but spitting in someones face is way way low down in my books, ntg to do with race:cool:

    No he says how many is there of us.

    I dont want to blow the BNP trumpet, but this is typical lefty spin.

    Anyone should have the right to free speach without being spat at.

    Its disgusting.

    my pleasure, but you really ought to thank me......

    An oversight I have now rectified! (twice). I just hope you retain them once this thread has been deleted....

    the bnp man has a bit of a heavy accent. whichever way it's still blatant goading. and it's not just this incident - the bnp (or national front as we know they really are) have been whipping up hatred in this area for years.

    spitting might be gross but it's hardly the same as throwing a punch. although really disrespectful it's not going to physically hurt you.

    i was spat on (more than once) at school for being gay. i didn't hit anyone.

    and although i support free speech a lot of the bnp stuff is incitement to racial hatred.

    You mean like this lot?

    Whats the difference?

    The BNP didnt spit on this shower of sh*t.

    irrelevent. this lot have no connection to the asian youths in question. it is racist to draw a comparison. i am white but in no way support the bnp just as being asian (or even muslim) in no way makes you support this lot.

    and did these demonstrators deliberately goad bnp members in their home streets?

    Maybe if you did, then you wouldn't have been bullied again? Bullies pick on the weak, not the strong.

    Does that not depend on your background/religion?
    I would not be that offended if someone threw shoes at me but for some religions that is worse than punch.

    I am not a supporter of any of this but spitting in someones face I class would be worse than a punch.
    Not to mention any diseases you can pick up from human saliva. (so physical harm is possible)

    If someone spat at me I would punch them not spit back TBH regardless of race religion etc.

    Spitting is an assault, that is why the youth has been charged.

    Q145: Is spitting an assault?

    In most cases, spitting if done deliberately will be an assault. However, if it is accidental then it will not be an assault.
  • What if someone spat at you in the face, then punched you in the face ?

    wouldn't that just be funny, cos its just like they spat on their own fist ?????

    in that case you could count sneezing or coughing on the tube as ABH! you've just as much chance of catching something from a handshake.
