Vile rant at tram passengers with kid on lap
Shocking ... film of tram mum with toddler on lap |
A YOUNG mum has been filmed unleashing a torrent of foul-mouthed racist abuse at black and foreign passengers on a packed tram.
The woman's toddler son sat on her lap as she ranted and swore at stunned fellow travellers.
When a black woman told her to shut up because there were children on the tram, she let fly with another disgusting tirade of abuse.
Film of the outburst was uploaded to YouTube and had 125,000 viewers last night. The woman started by yelling: "What's this country come to? A load of black people and a load of ****ing Polish."
She looked round the tram on South London's Croydon to Wimbledon service and shouted: "You ain't English. None of you are ****ing English."

PASSENGERS stunned as vile diatribe is spewed out in front of kids
The black women then intervened — but the mum ignored her, yelling: "Go back to where you come from."
Foul mouth ... racist carries on rant |
When the woman protested that she was British, the racist yelled back: "You ain't ****ing British. You're black." A white woman then told the racist to "shut your mouth".
YouTube users said the outburst was appalling. One said: "People like her make me ashamed to be British."
Targeted ... black woman passenger |
Communities Minister Andrew Stunell praised passengers for confronting the woman, adding: "This language is completely unacceptable."
Last night British Transport Police said a 34-year-old woman from New Addington has been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence.
