It was a shocking moment that encapsulated the rising tension across Britain amid the country's small boat crisis.
A Muslim businessman was being interviewed on Sky News about the troubles in Nuneaton, when a white woman carrying a pint of lager staggered across the street, her children in tow, and screamed vile abuse at him.
'Dirty monkey,' she yelled at him before her female friend joined in, telling the interviewee to 'go back to his own country' - oblivious to the fact that the Midlands town has been his home for more than 26 years.
In that moment, caught on Sky's cameras, the two women provided a grim and uncomfortable insight into the tension that is gripping towns and cities across the UK where those arriving on small boats are being accommodated - at the tax payers' expense.
And nowhere is that rising tension more evident than in the market town of Nuneaton where this shameful clash took place - and where the numbers of temporarily housed asylum seekers has risen steeply in a short amount of time.
