1. A person with a backpack on the Underground etc;

2. That person being bearded and evidently Pakistani, Arabic or some other Muslim affiliated origin;

3 That person mumbling something that might be in Arabic or Urdu.

Everyone else in this thread will have understood the minimum words I used to describe the issue. To remind, I said:



You were specifically responding to a question - your response was inaccurate, and now you’re trying to move the goalposts by stating that anyone on the underground with dusky skin reading a book, wearing a backpack, and mumbling, is a potential terrorist?

Pointing out glaring inaccuracies in your statement is not "catching you out"…
