These two women are political activists, steeped in third-wave feminism and high on the fumes of the extremely dangerous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/8186\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">narrative<\/a> that women can go head-to-head with men and come out on top. They were on this bus when they encountered a bunch of feral thugs of the sort who plague British cities but remain untouchable thanks to the efforts of the same lefty do-gooders who encourage open displays of homosexual affection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I expect these women, being foreign, didn\u2019t sense the danger. Maybe they believed Sadiq Khan\u2019s tweets about London being a welcoming utopia where diversity is celebrated by all? So when these thugs first noticed them instead of getting up and leaving or moving closer to other passengers, they engaged, perhaps with some sassy feminist boilerplate while thinking feral British youths have some sort of code about smacking women around. Big mistake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbushPredator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julia<\/a>, here&#8217;s a video of the incident:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NoPlaceForHate?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NoPlaceForHate<\/a> | &#8220;No one should be victimised because of their sexuality&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Three teens have pleaded guilty after a violent homophobic incident on a bus.

Note that it appears it was one of the women who started the physical altercation, something the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.met.police.uk\/news\/three-males-plead-guilty-after-homophobic-incident-on-bus-388548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a> is careful to conceal but it explains why they&#8217;ve been charged with public order offences and not assault:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At approximately 0230hrs on Thursday, 30 May, two women, both aged in their 20s, boarded the bus in West Hampstead.<\/p>\n<p>As they sat on the top deck, they were approached by a group of males who began to make lewd and homophobic comments and gestures to them.<\/p>\n<p>A fight ensued which left both victims with wounds to their faces after being punched several times by the suspects and a phone and bag were stolen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you or I were to punch a feral scumbag on a bus for making lewd gestures, we&#8217;d either be nicked for assault or beaten up in return with the police showing no interest whatsoever. But as I&#8217;m fond of saying, the term protected classes means just that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The investigating officer, Detective Constable Darren Barlow, from the Met\u2019s Roads and Transport Command (RTPC), said:\u00a0\u201cNo one should ever be victimised because of their sexuality and I hope that this result brings some form of closure to both victims and they can put this ordeal behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Detective Superintendent Andy Cox, from the Met\u2019s Roads and Transport Command, said:\u00a0\u201cAny Hate Crime on London\u2019s transport network, or anywhere else in London, will absolutely not be tolerated. The Met\u2019s RTPC officers will always fully investigate crimes that are committed on the bus network and we would urge anyone who has been a victim of crime to contact us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe transport network in London is, and remains, extremely safe and occurrences of this nature are few-and-far between.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mandy McGregor, Head of Transport Policing and Community Safety at TfL, said:\u00a0&#8220;This sickening incident was utterly unacceptable. Homophobic abuse is a hate crime and won\u2019t be tolerated on our network. All of our customers have the right to travel without fear of verbal or physical abuse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The police have wheeled out three people in succession to remind us they will not tolerate protected classes being assaulted by violent, teenage thugs as if they were just ordinary members of the public. Nor will the protected classes be punished for throwing the first punch. I wouldn&#8217;t mind them protecting only their preferred demographics if they&#8217;d let the rest of us drown feral scumbags in the Thames, but if we tried to do that we&#8217;d find Plod suddenly on <em>their<\/em> side. I&#8217;ll say this for our ruling classes, they let us ordinary plebs know where we stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember my post about the two lesbians being attacked on the upper deck of a London bus?
