Polish woman captures ‘Brexit-inspired’ racist abuse against her family

A Polish woman captured the shocking moment a man started racially abusing her and her children for no reason in a local Aldi supermarket.

After hearing her speaking in Polish, the man started to repeat xenophobic slogans such as,‘Just go back.’

The woman, who gave the name, ‘Marta’, pulled out her mobile in Aldi in Stevenage to capture the abuse directed at her and her children, aged three and nine.

She told The Comet, ‘‘This man passed by us and suddenly said: ‘Start speaking English’. He then swore at me twice and told me to go back to my country, making an offensive comment about me being Polish.

‘I called for the manager and told them what was happening and my husband came over, and then he stopped shouting at us, but he carried on saying things under his breath.

‘He said, “Just go back.”

‘Maybe he’s quite scared and upset with everything happening with Brexit, making it easier for small-minded people to think such things.’

Marta reported the incident to Hertfordshire police.
