A ‘shabby racist’ who repeatedly kicked a pregnant Somali woman, resulting in her losing her unborn baby, has been jailed for almost four years. David Gallacher attacked Samsam Haji-Ali and her husband outside a Co-op in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, in August. BBC News reports that he admitted actual bodily harm, assault by beating and two counts of racially or religiously aggravated assault. Judge Francis Sheridan said: ‘She told him she was pregnant and he continued to kick her.'
