This video has been doing the rounds on Facebook and Youtube today. Shocking. Police last night arrested a woman after a passenger allegedly burst into a vile racist rant on a tram while holding a child on her knee. The video, posted on YouTube, shows a woman hurling abuse at other passengers on the South London tram and baiting them with xenophobic insults.
Officers said a 34-year-old woman from New Addington has been arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and is being questioned by police. The arrest follows an appeal by the British Transport officers who asked the media to publicise the video to help identify her. The footage appears to have been discreetly captured by a passenger as the tram travelled from Croydon to Wimbledon.
Throughout the shocking two minutes of footage the woman's little boy sits nervously as his mother begins the heated confrontation. At one point the woman declares other passengers should go back to their own country, saying they're not British because they are black. Horrified onlookers appear to be uncertain whether the women is drunk while she is making the comments.
The woman says: 'None of you are ****ing English. Get back to your own country. Sort your own countries, don't come and do mine. 'It's nothing now. Britain is nothing now. Britain is **** all. My Britain is **** all.' At one point she claims passengers in the carriage are '****ing burnt people.' Already 10,000 members of the public have watched the film, after it was posted on Youtube, on Sunday, by LadyK89. Comments by one viewer called The Specialscrew, read: 'As a white British male, I feel disgusted to even be associated with this woman by my race and nationality.'
