At least she was publicly defended by her Party Leader. Half an hour after the Prime Minister got there first.
What is more depressing is the number of people - including Tory MPs - who were accusing her of faking it, reversing the video, had a white driver etc etc.Last edited by Snake Plissken; 10-08-2020, 15:59.

This is why defunding the police is more effective than burning down police stations.

Maybe they were inspired by this.

The Metropolitan Police has decided not to routinely release bodycam video footage after internal reviews showed officers displaying "poor communication, a lack of patience, a lack of de-escalation before use of force is introduced"https://twitter.com/netpol/status/1318145357159727106?s=20

[Content warning - the link is to a Guardian piece that describes some really hideous racist and misogynist abuse, which I've not copied here]
That's when they know they are being recorded. Of course, when they don't know:
Members of a “toxic” specialist police unit were recorded by a bugging device making “abhorrent” racist, sexist and homophobic comments and other inappropriate remarks, a disciplinary hearing has been told.
Beer said the officers were also recorded using derogatory terms for disabled, gay and transgender people and they had also suggested that Albanian nationals “should be shot or even killed with a nerve agent”.
Other comments recorded included one that “illegal immigrants deserve the death penalty”, Beer said.
