A POLICE investigation is underway after ‘Gorgeous’ George Galloway claimed his daughter was told to “get back to England” at a supermarket.
The alleged incident is said to have occurred at Tesco in Dumfries.
Galloway, a former Labour MP who failed to win a selection contest to run for Westminster against Lord McFall in Dumbarton 1997, is now leader of the Workers Party of Britain, said his Dundee-born daughter, Lucy, was verbally abused by a “young well-dressed woman” after she “drove 500 miles to spend time and money in Scotland”.
He tweeted: “My daughter – carrying her baby! – was told to ‘get back to England, you English c***’ in your Dumfries store @Tesco at 12.50pm today.
“I have a picture of her racial abuser. I will not let this drop. I’m not that sort of father. @PoliceScotland @DumfriesGPolice @scotgov”
Police Scotland said it was aware of the incident and that inquiries are ongoing.
A Tesco spokesperson added: “We were very sorry to hear about this incident and will support inquiries in any way we can.”
