Hopefully it's made her think about what was happening that day.

"No-one should endure an extended period under arrest, just because they're an innocent bystander."

She seems dangerously close to getting the point.

 EE cancelled my contract and charged me £298 after I complained about listening to foreign music while on hold - have I been treated unfairly?

Quote

I took out a phone contract with EE in March. 

When I phoned up to discuss the contract a few weeks later, I was frustrated at being left on hold and I asked the woman in customer services why I had to listen to Indian music.

She took offence and EE cut off my phone line. I am 88 and have health issues and am worried that the hospital and my family won’t be able to contact me.

EE also says I have to pay an early termination fee of £298.

At first that might look like simply a confused old person being picked on for, naturally, having old fashioned attitudes but if you do the sums...

She was 32 when George Harrison's Indian Classical/Western rock fusion "Within you and Without you" appeared on Sgt Pepper's lonely hearts club band (the UK's best selling studio album) and 34 when Ravi Shankar played Woodstock.

Just good ol' racism. From the reply:

"EE says that when you spoke to its staff member, you queried why ‘as a white Englishman’ you were being forced to listen to ‘Indian music’.

You went on to use language and make comments that were discriminatory against a specific race....

I have also seen your correspondence with EE. Some of the comments you made may have seemed to you like honest feedback, but I’m afraid you come across as someone who holds racially prejudiced views they cannot hide."

Depends on the language used tbh, but unless they've been abusive I don't see why they would be charged and have their contract cancelled.

Perhaps more to it that we're seeing.

It's the Daily Mail flagging this up, not some so-called "Woke leftie" paper. 

Must have been bad.
