I don't think it's irresponsible to reproduce this here, inasmuch as reputable news agencies are noting both that there are reports of this and that it remains unconfirmed. For what it's worth, the political group has released a statement noting that it's not certain he did yell that, and completely disclaiming the attack and the fellow.
Britain first is racist and that MP was of their preferred racial group BUT a prominent member of Remain. This implies (If true he said that) that it's Vote Leave related, they certainly think that as Vote Leave have just suspended activity.
This must sound like gobbledegook to the colonials.
Actually no, given the context and current national events over there I found it pretty easy to decipher.
P.S. we aren't colonials any longer.
