Fuck, I've just seen this and I'm appalled. Absolutely shocking, and with a kid on her lap as well. I'm glad she's been arrested, hopefully she'll get the book thrown at her.
I'm going to vehemently disagree with her as well, in that I believe that multiculturalism IS 'British'. In fact, there is no fixed concept of what 'Britishness' is, society is constantly evolving and the churchillian ideal with pictures of bulldogs in front of a union jack with 'land of hope and glory' is from a bygone age. To put it down to a fixed stereotype is pretty simplistic in my opinion. Different races and cultures have been a part of British culture for decades. Hell, even the Royal Family, that pinnacle of Britishness, is of German descent.
