Woman arrested following racist outburst on tram
The woman, travelling from Croydon to Wimbledon while holding a young boy on her lap, hurls abuse at other passengers, telling them to go back to their own country and saying they are not British because they are black.
Posted by LadyK89 on Sunday evening, the video has attracted hundreds of thousands of views.
British Transport Police said a 34-year-old woman from south London had been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offence, but police are still asking for witnesses to come forward.
The expletive-laden video (entitled “My tram experience”) lasts more than two minutes and shows the woman verbally abuse black, Polish and foreign people with a hate-filled tirade demanding they “go back to their own country” and saying they aren’t British.
She starts: “What has this country come to ... with loads of black people and a load of fucking Polish.
“You ain’t English either, none of you are fucking English. Get back to your own, fucking d’you know what?
“Sort out your own countries, don’t come and do mine. Britain is nothing now. Britain is fuck all. My Britain is fuck all now.”
A black passenger is seen trying to calm the woman down and to tone down her language as there were children present.
But the woman continues: “Go back to where you come from” and seems to say “nigger” but then says “Nicaragua”.
At this point, an angry black passenger leaps up from a seat behind the woman but fellow passengers calm him down.
As the tirade continued, a white female passenger becomes irate. “Now you’re fucking waking my baby up so do you want to shut your mouth,” she says.
“I’m English. What have you got to say to me? Fuck all, so shut your mouth.”
The video ends abruptly and it is unclear what happened next.
LadyK89 posted the video which she says shows a “British woman on London transport complaining Britain is nothing now ethnic minorities are in her country”.
