Traffic warden gets a kicking in Birmingham

Does issuing a ticket incorrectly (if that was the case) warrant being kicked by multiple people like that?
Unbelievable really. I have long heard that traffic wardens and the like avoid issuing tickets in the areas of Birmingham dominated by Asians of Pakistani descent due to fear of something like this happening.
I wonder what happens if they’re Pakistani electricians?Unbelievable really. I have long heard that traffic wardens and the like avoid issuing tickets in the areas of Birmingham dominated by Asians of Pakistani descent due to fear of something like this happening.
Is it like crossing the proton streams in Ghostbusters?

found a traffic warden staning in traffic streetside trying to surreptitiously photograph a used voucher that was on the seat. Pointed him to the voucher displayed correctly pavement side. He said it was a mistake and he'd void it. Received double fine in post for non payment.
Was unloading van, b
h stops and starts tapping on machine. Asked her six times what she was doing and if van was legally parked. She rips ticket out, slaps on window, and smarmily says to me "you didn't scratch the year off" ( the voucher had the year cleverly included in the month silver scratch off block, so it went 29,30,31,04,05,06, specifically designed to trip people up) That one...I was shaking with rage, I dunno if I've ever been so close to doing exactly what the video above depicts.
Justify those tickets. Or be quiet.
In fairness to HairyBen, the “civil enforcement officers” don’t do themselves any favours. Outside our factory there are double yellow lines so we have access to the main roller-shutter doors. They were painted at a time when enforcement was sensible, and it was obviously for factory access and loading/unloading of vehicles. Traffic warden has slapped tickets on our trucks several times while they’re loading Was unloading van, b

we had contacted the council about changing it to a loading bay but they won’t help, probably because they’re on a nice little earner with all the other factory units nearby suffering the same crap. One of our neighbours was ticketed a couple of years ago, so they took thecwarden’s moped and chucked in their van
I don’t condone the violence towards the warden in Alum Rock, but I can see why people lose their rag.

Criminal scumbags, great to see them get comeuppance.
I do hope you're not trying to be a smartarse?? This is a despicable act, they could have killed the poor guy with head kicks like that.
No difference between them and someone who threatens you with a knife for your watch.
The last bit is a corker. No difference between a parking attendant and a knife attacker. Ok then!

I wouldn't say Britain is racist at all.k me it's depressing how racist Britain seems to have become. I'd say certain people know they can get away with anything as everyone will excuse them as they're scared s
tless of being labelled a racist.People are too concerned about being 120% that they turn a blind eye to actual problems.

Yes, these muslim gang-led attacks on white people really need to stop!
It's a video of some asian aholes beating up a traffic warden. If I showed you a video of some white aholes beating up a traffic warden I imagine they wouldn't be assumed to speak for the whole of white christendom. In fact I doubt you'd think their race was a factor at all. The problem is being an ahole and I don't think any ethnic group has a monopoly on that character trait.Evolved said:

Maybe we just see it more because of the internet but I would say it's growing. It's pitifully easy to play to that crowd...just show a handful of incidents of race X being aholes and that's enough to label all of race X aholes. Of course their logic doesn't work the other way or a similar handful of incidents of race X being saints (pulling people from burning buildings or doing CPR on some little old lady) would leave them in a real quandry
They might even come to the shocking realisation that people can share a skin colour but still have quite different personalities.rscott said:
I guess this means next time an electrician tries to rip me off for a simple job, it's perfectly okay for me to beat him to a pulp.
Or better still, be pleased when another electrician you've never even met gets electrocuted. After all, he had it coming.f
king electricians....at least Dick Turpin wore a mask. T0MMY said:

No, I'd be highlighting the fact that the white underclass is an equally disgusting problem - which it is.
So to clarify, if you watched, say, this video...https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/shirtless-bu...
...you'd have said something like "these white christian led assaults need to stop"?
