(Jewish News) A Metropolitan Police officer has apologised for posting offensive tweets about Jewish people and non-Muslims, but denied they warranted her dismissal.
Pc Ruby Begum, 29, admitted during a police misconduct hearing on Monday that she used offensive language such as “dirty Zionists. Hell is waiting” while serving as a special constable.
She also admitted using the term “kuffar” to refer to non-believers, saying: “Kuffar lips have been all over my mug, there is no way I’m using that thing again.”
Around 25,000 posts were made between 2013 and 2019 under the Twitter username @ruby_beee and Ms Begum has been accused of failing to disclose this handle twice during vetting processes in 2014 and 2016.
