She and the man, who were amongst a foul-mouthed group of troublemakers, turned on a Brazilian man who tried to intervene and they both assaulted him during an “ugly” confrontation, Grimsby magistrates heard.
Rebecca Swan, 38, and Christopher Drury, 23, admitted a racially aggravated assault on July 4 and Swan admitted using racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour.
The prosecutor said that Swan and others were repeatedly chanting “EDL” and pointing towards people inside the shop.
The group turned on one staff member and wrongly thought he was Polish. Swan said: “Where are you from? You shouldn’t be here… you are in England. You should live by my laws.”
Swan slapped the worker across his neck and Drury hit him in the chest with the palm of his hand, causing him to fall to the ground.
Mother-of-two Swan, a cleaner at a medical centre, was given a four-week, 9pm to 7am, curfew and was ordered to pay £85 costs and a Government-imposed £60 victims’ surcharge.
Unemployed Drury was given a one-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 surcharge.
