Brit Denies Racist Outburst At Heathrow Passport Control

Bust Up: Heathrow Airport

A Rickmansworth chartered engineer, accused of racially abusing Border Force staff at Heathrow Airport during problems scanning his UK passport, appeared at Ealing Magistrates Court for the first time today.

Timothy Wynne-Jones, 53, of Beechcroft Avenue, Croxley Green indicated not guilty pleas and elected trial at Isleworth Crown Court, where he was bailed to appear on May 13.

He is accused of telling one female officer: “You're going to let all the terrorists into the country. I know your kind,” and telling fellow-passengers: “You're not British, you've got a Mickey Mouse passport. You're all terrorists.”

Wynne-Jones pleaded not guilty to two counts of racially aggravated harassment towards Border Force officers Raja and Yaqub at the airport on January 22.

Wynne-Jones is then said to attempt to push through the gate, but is prevented by Border Force staff.

They wanted to ensure his passport was not a forgery, but the defendant is accused of continuing: “Look. Terrorists protecting our border.

“There are far too many Indians protecting the border.”

Wynne-Jones is then accused of telling staff: It's not a border. You wouldn't know what one was.”
