They Strike Again: Hate Crimes Should Not Be Tolerated On TFL! Reprimand The Racist Islamophobe!

The Issue

We thank everyone that has signed and shared this petition allowing us to collectively achieve justice. The racist Islamophobe has been held in custody since Friday and waits her hearing tomorrow morning.

Can We Claim Victory?

The following video suggests NOT! This incident highlights the brutality, the vulgarity and the lack of consideration towards a disabled elderly Muslim man. This video personifies the attitudes adopted by some of the public towards Muslims, completely dehumanising them and offering them no respect when commuting via public transport facilities.

Some of the offensive remarks made by this particular vile ignoramus are as follows:
1. ‘I’m going to f**k your daughter and her sister ... while your wife watches...”
2. “Good Muslim init ... I’ll shove a pig’s c**k in your mouth, what’s f*****g Allah going to say?”
3. “Your wife loves this, I put it in her mouth every night while you’re working... you fucking c**t”
4. “Go back to Turkey... Your walker is going to go flying when this bus stops”
5. “Muslim? We’re in Tottenham...”
6. “Sorry folks... just another reason to vote UKIP ... Shut those borders ...Why are you here? You’re probably wanted for fiddling kids; you probably like little boys’ bum holes...” Offender leaves the bus pushing a buggy, yet throws the elderly man’s walker onto the streets and continues walking.

It is of paramount significance to note the following points:
1. This young abuser was:
a. Racially abusive – by insulting the Turkish ethnicity
b. Islamophobic – by insulting the Muslim faith and ‘Allah’
c. Ageist – did not take into consideration the man’s age
d. Had no consideration for the victim’s disability, and this was highlighted when he flung his walker onto the streets.
e. Pushing a buggy – yet again questioning the competence of such parental figures.
f. Dangerous - making endless threats

2. The bus driver did not call the authorities; neither did he remove this passenger off the bus. AGAIN, TFL has failed the public, allowing passengers to be turned into a mockery, allowing their dignities to be stripped and their identities shredded.

3. The debasing of women through the sexual connotation(s).

4. The world stood silent. Some even laughed in the background.

This video is evident of the social regression and a lack of tolerance towards Muslims specifically. This cannot and mustn’t happen again. It is upon the authorities to find this man and reprimand him duly for the profanity that exited his mouth.

TFL must teach and train their staff to not allow such demeaning and degrading behaviour to take place during the operation of their services.

The Decision Makers

Responded
Dear Petitioner Thank you for the petition submitted on the change.org website about incidents on the 206 bus in Brent and the 149 bus in Tottenham in October. The Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) immediately referred these issues to Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Regarding the incident on the 206 bus, a woman was arrested and charged by the MPS in connection with this incident. The individual pleaded guilty to causing racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress, contrary to section 31(1)(b) and (4) of the Crime and Disorder Act on 1998 at Court on Monday 19 October and appeared at Hendon Magistrates’ Court on Friday 13 November for sentencing. The individual was given a suspended custodial sentence of 16 weeks for racially aggravated intentional harassment. Regarding the incident on the 149 bus, a man was also arrested and charged by the MPS in connection with this incident. We understand that the individual pleaded guilty to causing racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress, contrary to section 31(1)(b) and (4) of the Crime and Disorder Act on 1998 at Court on Wednesday 21 October and was sentenced to 16 weeks imprisonment on 5 November at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court. London thrives on diversity and its global reputation as a place where people can live their lives without fear of prejudice and hatred. The Mayor takes hate crime very seriously and, as part of his commitment to driving down all hate crime, the Mayor committed to work with London’s diverse communities to develop an effective strategy. In December 2014, the Mayor’s Hate Crime Reduction Strategy for London was unveiled. The strategy has three clear objectives: to boost confidence and increase the reporting of hate crime; to prevent hate crime and reduce repeat victimisation; and, in improving the authorities’ ability to respond effectively, to ensure swift and secure justice for hate crime victims. MOPAC continues to work with the police, criminal justice partners and community organisations to fulfil these objectives, and it is pleasing to see that the police and courts acted promptly in these specific cases. As part of a broader response to supporting victims of crime, MOPAC has invested over £2.2m to ensure an enhanced response to high priority victims, including those targeted for hate crime, and to also directly support service delivery for the victims of hate crime and capacity building within the VCSE (voluntary, community and social enterprise) sector in London. You can view the Hate Crime Strategy for London, along with information about all our hate crime work, on the MOPAC section of City Hall’s website through the following link https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/mayors-office-policing-and-crime-mopac/mayors-mission/hate-crime.
