Spit in my face would yeh!!!

That fracas made me laugh, it was so cartoonish.
The BNP guy taunted the youths, got spat on, then lost it.
All as bad as each other whatevr their race, the chav classes, I find.

Overall I'd say that the BNP guy was the one in the wrong here. The youths could reasonably argue provocation for the spitting and the BNP chap's response was certainly not proportional.

If any of the anti-bnp groups get their act together and get a decent lawyer involved they could certainly make a case against the BNP guy for Assault and possibly Actual Bodily Harm.

Dont be such a bedwetter! Of course it's proportional.

Someone spat in my face I'd be doing the Cha Cha on their head!

The problem with kids today is they think they can go around and do whatever they please with no consequences, complete disregard! Lads deserved to get smacked in the mouth.

Where's the poll?

Why? Do these dirty Eastern Europeans want some as well!!

Do you really mean condone??

I think it was a little joke, a play on words (condone sounds a bit like condemn, but has the opposite meaning in this case).

Not in the eyes of the law it isn't.

Spitting is technically assault ( or battery ) but causes no physical harm. Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm is a different, and more serious offense, with more serious penalties.

If you did beat someone up for spitting at you, espicially if you had previously provoked them as in this case, you'd be far more likely to end up facing serious charges than they would.

How would you respond if someone taunted you in the street and then started shoving you around when you confronted them about it?

Well I wouldnt spit in their face to start with. I'd probably beat a hasty retreat if there was loads of them, get my car, drive back round and knock one of them over and then drive off!

But I wouldnt spit.
