The woman in the middle of her racist rant on a London tram

A woman has been arrested after she was filmed verbally abusing other passengers on a tram in London and the clip was uploaded to YouTube.

The video, entitled My Tram Experience, has been viewed over 350,000 times since it was uploaded on Sunday. It captures the woman voicing racist opinions about her fellow passengers while her young son sits on her lap.

One passenger in the video tells the woman to watch her language as there are children on board and to show respect to fellow passengers.

"Yeah, it's fine. I have got a little kid here. Have respect? I have a little boy here. F*** you. I dare you, I f***ing dare you," she replied.

"Don't watch my language. Go back to where you come from, go back to f***ing Nicaragua or wherever you come from. Just f***ing go back.

"You ain't British, you're black. Where do you come from? 'No, someone's got to talk up for these lot."

British Transport Police said the woman, 34, has now been arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offence, the BBC reported.

Is it not ironic that for 200 plus years the British sent their troops and prisoners all around the world, capturing Africans and Indians for slave labour (as well as Aboriginals and Maori), and then this sheila has the cheek to hate on immigrants for 'ruining HER Britain'. I wonder how she feels about the Africans, Indians, Aboriginals, Maori etc. who have had THEIR countries ruined by IMMIGRANTS - namely BRITISH ones 200 years ago??? Selective memories some people have.

It's interesting and almost amusing for me to see what has become of the once great and powerful British Empire. Is this view shared by your typical white English citizen as the woman in the video claims? If so, then it's only a matter of time before the country goes completely down the drain. I only hope that people like her are never allowed to spread their poison to Australia...I've met a few here...all they do is whinge and moan, the only difference is their choice of immigrant and amusingly, they have a work ethic to match. So instead of teaching your kids how to destroy their own country, get off your arse, get a job and stop blaming immigrants for your own laziness.

I agree with Frank, Poor kid. I hope society will become a more healthy place so that it will make up for his mother's hate, unfortunately society as it is now will not do that job.

foriegn people should not be encouraged to come here at the expense of our own and their own contries - their governments suffer - no one to support them - therefore corrupt government, and their economy suffers - the land is ued to grow drugs instead of food - becouse their is nobody to feed - drugs of course buys guns

It is so sad to see that people think they have the right to just go off at others with their hateful words, that they and their hateful words are more important than anyone else. And what makes it worse is that the child that she is holding doesn't get upset by this. Poor kid must be used to her disgusting language and outbursts.

Very FUNNY, but she should have not have said that in a place where she is surrounded by them. I'm not racist, I just think it's funny.
