The Latest: Video shows post-Brexit abuse of immigrant

LONDON (AP) — The Latest on Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (all times local):

1:35 p.m.

As videos, photos and written accounts of intolerant abuse percolate across the internet in the wake of Britain’s referendum to leave the European Union, Juan Jasso has become one of the country’s best-known victims.

The U.S. Army veteran is seen deflecting abuse as a British-sounding youth in a baseball cap, clutching a bottle of beer, screams expletives and demands that the immigrant get off the tram running through the northern city of Manchester.

The youth shouts: “Go back to Africa!”

“How old are you?” Jasso shouts back at one point. “I’ve been here longer than you have.”

The video, carrying nakedly aggressive racial abuse against a veteran, became among the most widely shared accounts of intolerance which have emerged since Thursday’s vote.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of lasting fallout from Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

Putin previously deflected the allegations that it’s in Russia’s interests to have Britain, one of its fiercest critics, out of the EU.

Addressing Russian diplomats in Moscow on Thursday, Putin said the world will feel the “traumatic effect” from the out vote for a long time.

Putin would not say directly whether Russia would want Britain to follow through and leave the EU but added that “we shall see how they actually carry out democratic principles over there.”

A survey shows that Poland remains enthusiastic for European Union membership with 81 percent of those polled saying the nation should remain in the bloc.

The TNS polling center held the telephone survey of 1,000 adults on Monday and Tuesday, a few days after Britons voted to leave the group. Poland’s conservative government is stressing the nation wants to remain an EU member.

Britain’s decision may have direct consequences to the hundreds of thousands of Poles who live and work in Britain, and to their families in Poland.

Thirteen percent of respondents in the poll published Thursday said Poland should leave the EU and six percent had no opinion. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

France’s foreign minister says the EU should not negotiate eventual membership with Scotland while it is a member of the United Kingdom.

Ayrault said Thursday on France-2 television that “Europe should in no case contribute to the dismantling of nations.”

Voters in Scotland strongly backed remaining in the EU in last week’s British referendum, but were outvoted by a majority nationwide. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who has suggested a new referendum on Scottish independence, met with European Parliament and EU Commission officials in Brussels on Wednesday on the sidelines of an EU summit.

Ayrault insisted that “you have to respect the history” of each of the 28 EU member states and let the nations themselves decide on their futures, instead of holding negotiations with one region such as Scotland.

British authorities say a London man has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred by detectives investigating extreme right-wing, anti-Islam and anti-Semitic postings on social media.

Scotland Yard said the 44-year-old was taken into custody Wednesday morning and later bailed.

Hate crimes and other intolerant acts have gained increasing prominence following Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.
