Britain’s first youth police commissioner Paris Brown has apologised after posting “inappropriate” tweets - and explained one with an apparent reference to drugs.

The 17-year-old issued the apology over a series of tweets posted on a personal Twitter account, which now appears to have been deleted.

The violent, racist and anti-gay comments were posted by the teenager from the ages of 14 to 16 before she became the first youth police and crime commissioner for Kent to represent young people's views on policing - sparking calls for her to resign.

 

Her Tweets:

 

On sex: "Worst part about being single is coming from a party/night out horny as f*** and having to sleep alone."

 

On drugs: "I really wanna make a batch of hash brownies."

 

On violence: "I don't condone violence but im so pleased that my brother thumped the fat little ****."

 

On reality Television show Made In Chelsea: "Everyone on Made in Chelsea looks like a f****** fag."

 

On ordering pizza, two months ago: "F****** hell why are the people from Direct Pizza so difficult to talk too!! IT IS CALLED ENGLISH. LEARN IT."

Or just foolish and needs to be given her chance to prove herself in her new role?


I think her first name says all we need to know about her, Paris...AKA, chav.

 

And her tweets suggest shes a nasty chav.

Kent's new youth police commissioner is being urged to resign today after revelations she posted foul-mouthed messages on Twitter.

Paris Brown, 17, was unveiled as Britain’s first teenage crime tsar to represent young people's views on policing at a ceremony on Wednesday.

The 17-year-old, from Sheerness, is due to work alongside police commissioner Ann Barnes in the £15,000-a-year role after beating off competition from more than 160 other applicants.

On Sunday morning, she issued an apology after some of her expletive-laden messages about her sex life, drugs and alcohol became public.

In one message on Twitter just three weeks ago, Miss Brown  is alleged to have written: "I want to f****** cut everyone around me."

Another message posted on the personal account,  which has since been deleted is said to have suggested she had been drinking while at work.

It read: "Been drinking since half 1 and riding baby walkers down the hall at work oh my god i have the best job ever haha!!"

Miss Brown is also alleged to have described immigrants as "illegals", travellers as "pikeys" and male actors in the reality show Made In Chelsea as "fags".

Other posts are said to have referred to her cravings for sex and cakes laced with marijuana.

Miss Brown is due to take up her taxpayer-funded post in August. Her role will last for a year and pays a salary of £15,000 - including £5,000 from the commissioner's £85,000 pay.

Bet she wishes she never took the job now she's been exposed by our lovely self righteous national press. 

 

The police wanted someone who was a typical teenager - warts and all - they got one, what's the problem?

 

It takes a brass neck for vile rags like the Mail and Sun, whose stock in trade is thinly veiled racism, to get all PC about racism of all things.

I think it would have been just as bad. She should lose the post, simple as.

That's my take on it too. It wouldn't do much good hiring a teenager who had no knowledge of violence, drugs etc.   They wanted someone who could advise from experience surely? 

 

Having said that... I'm sure she's learnt her twitter lesson. It's a lesson a lot of people need to learn.

Surely these tweets were available for those who chose her for the position as well.  Who the hell searches someone's tweets from 2 plus years ago?

Do you honestly think she was vetted to that level before being appointed. In Kent?  Unless you're Paolo de Canio, a leopard rarely changes its spots.

My understanding is that it wasn't the police who hired her - it was the Kent PCC Ann Barnes, fulfilling one of her election pledges (remember the PCC elections last year? The ones that no one voted in?)

 

Apparently £5000 of the girl's salary is coming out of Barnes's own salary as PCC...

Well, quite. I was listening to her being interviewed and she was saying WTTE that it was unfair that her future career could be ruined by things she posted online when 13 or 14, and I was thinking "Well exactly - that's why some of us old 'uns have been warning you young 'uns about the dangers of social media sites for years..."

 

TBF though,  it's not just the "young 'uns"... I recently had to have a quiet word with a friend who'd been posting political videos on his Facebook site. He was jobhunting at the time, and it simply hadn't occurred to him that a potential employer might do a quick, informal social media search on him. If they didn't like what they saw, they could just knock him back without explanation...

But she wasn't that young when she posted those tweets,  plus the real issue here are those posts are her views and opinions on life, thats the real worry about her.

Videostar

She posted from 14-16

Age is irrelvant - its wot she is sayin, her view, A YEAR before she got this job.

Plus ...

At any age would you be posting homophobic and racist slurs of the worst kind?

Newly elected Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes said,

"I absolutely do not condone the content and language of Paris' tweets. I suspect that many young people go through a phase during which they make silly, often offensive comments and show off on Facebook and Twitter.

"I think that if everyone's future was determined by what they wrote on social networking sites between the ages of 14 and 16 we'd live in a very odd world.

 

What she doesn't point out is that Pairs Brown only turned seventeen THREE DAYS AGO!!
