Woman in the tram The clip shows a woman swearing at passengers on the tram


A woman has been arrested after an online video apparently showed a woman abusing ethnic minority passengers on a packed south London tram.

The clip, viewed more than 10,600 times since being uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, shows a woman sitting with a child, shouting at fellow passengers.

British Transport Police said a woman, 34, had been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offence.

---------------------------

In the online clip, the woman confronts several passengers, saying: "You are not British". She then starts swearing.

5. what a messed up individual she is.... her problem isn't color or others
Edited on Mon Nov-28-11 04:50 PM by fascisthunter
it's her inability to live with others, and not having the know-how to improve her own life. She is using others to blame for her own misery.

What a nice psychological wall she has built for herself... it's everyone else's fault.

6. Well, if she doesn't like the ways things are in Britain . . .
. . . she can go back to Saxony, where her ancestors came from.

14. What's wrong with her mouth, or at least her bottom lip?
She keeps biting her bottom lip or trying to scrape it with her teeth.

She appears very drunk.

18. But ya know..,
when I'm tipsy, I'm not overcome by the need to hurl ethnic slurs.

Booze may have loosened her tongue, but the nasty attitude was there just waiting to be unleashed before she had a drop to drink.
