Richard Barklie, ex-cop in Northern Ireland and currently a director of the World Human Right Forum, recently filmed inciting young football hooligans to hate speech and hate crimes on a metro in Paris.
The Metropolitan Police (MPS) launched an investigation to hunt down the "racist thugs" who prevented a black male from boarding a Paris Metro train while chanting, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it."
The incident occurred after Chelsea's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
Richard Barklie, 50, a former police officer from Northern Ireland, was one of three Chelsea fans whose profiles were released by Scotland Yard during their investigation.
The suspect is currently a director for the human rights organization, World Human Rights Forum.
Comment: ...whose mission is "To unite the human rights activists and organizations around the globe to protect and to promote human rights, values and global well being necessary for the creation of a better world order."
In his role, Barklie took part in a conference two years ago where he quoted Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi during a talk on fighting racial discrimination.
The Sunday World newspaper in Ireland confirmed the former officer was on the train at the time of the incident.
The ex-Royal Ulster Constabulary officer, who has been suspended by the Wave Trauma Centre in Belfast where he helped victims of the Troubles, denies singing any racist songs.
However, he issued a statement through his lawyer admitting his involvement in an "incident," which resulted in the victim being "unable to enter part of the train."
The statement issued by Belfast solicitor Kevin Winters said: "We act on behalf of Mr Barklie identified as one of the people sought by authorities investigating an incident on the Paris Metro on 16/2/15."
Comment: So Barklie is an 'ex-cop' in the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary), which was so notorious for its collusion with far-right terrorists in Northern Ireland that it had to be disbanded; he's currently the director of an international human rights charity; he hangs out with Chelsea hooligans with links to the English Defence League and other far-right thugs like Combat-18; and he is represented by the prestigious Northern Irish human rights law firm, Kevin R Winters & Co, Solicitors, which primarily deals with defending Catholic Nationalists' rights against the British Security State.
He is quite the chameleon.
"We contacted London Metropolitan Police today to advise that our client is happy to assist with inquiries."
"Pending formal engagement with police, our client is anxious to put on record his total abhorrence for racism and any activity associated with it."
His previous experiences working with disadvantaged communities in Africa and India "undermines any suggestion that he is racist," it adds.
Comment: Barklie appears to have been the ringleader of the football hooligans hurling racist abuse at black people in the Paris metro. What this undermines is the 'good works' this 'charity' is up to in India and Africa, or at the very least, what Barklie's role in it is:

Barklie is a Chelsea season ticket-holder and has travelled to matches "for over 20 years now without an incident," the statement reads.
Comment: This means he would have been working with the RUC - effectively the paramilitary wing of the British Security State in Ireland - while being involved with the far-right at English football matches.
It claims he "travelled alone" and has "no knowledge" of the other "thugs" depicted in the YouTube video.
Barklie denies being a part of any "group or faction" of Chelsea supporters, the statement says.
The suspect has an account to give to police, which will "explain the context and circumstances" as they prevailed at that particular time.
Comment: All very unlikely, given how Chelsea's hooligans - the 'Headhunters' - travel in packs and are very organized:

He expresses his "sincerest apologies" for the trauma suffered by the victim, known only as Souleymane S.
None of the Chelsea suspects sought by Scotland Yard have been arrested.
A police spokesman said: "The force cannot arrest people for offences which happen outside the UK."
If a trial were to commence in France, the suspects could face three-year prison sentences.
Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinjo says the club is "appalled" by racial abuse by its fans.
Five people have been suspended from Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground following investigations into the incident.
