Free Speech Heroine says "Not Guilty"

Tram race rant accused Emma West pleads not guilty

Emma West is due to stand trial on 11 June 2012

A YOUNG MOTHER of two has pleaded not guilty over an alleged "racist rant" on a tram in South London, which has been seen online 11 million times.

Emma West, 34, of New Addington, South London, appeared at Croydon Crown Court this morning charged with two counts of a racially-aggravated public order offence, one with intent to cause fear.

She was arrested in November after footage, filmed on a Croydon-to-Wimbledon tram, was posted on YouTube.

She is due to stand trial on 11 June.
