Using the word "immigrant" can justify treating an assault as racially aggravated, the Court of Appeal ruled yesterday.
The court decided that a judge should not have thrown out a charge of racially aggravated assault against a woman who attacked a GP after referring to him as "an immigrant doctor".
Under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, an offence is racially aggravated if the offender demonstrates hostility based on the victim's membership of a racial group.

The case was referred to the Court of Appeal on a point of law by the Attorney General.

If the left TELLS THE TRUTH about what it is, it won't survive. The left is a living lie -- it is how they survive.
Oh for God's Sake!!!! Is there any doubt whatsoever that the inmates are running the asylum??
It is impossible to believe that many of the laws we have in the US originated in England. I hope this one is denied entrance when it shows up at JFK.
Was he an "an immigrant doctor"? If so, how can the truth be cause for court action or any reason to formulate any other opinion than to be considered a fact. When is truth considered wrong. The doctor should be proud to be an immigrant and established himself as a doctor. That's accomplishment.
