( Cinnamon Heathcote-Drury ) was waiting to pay at the checkout when she noticed a man with two small children also queuing. They were joined by a woman wearing a hijab and a long black tunic who began unloading an overflowing trolley, one item at a time.
She says: ‘I glanced over and thought, “This poor woman’s going to be there for hours.” Her husband was standing closest to me, so I said to him, “Will you help her?”
‘He said, “I’ve got the children.” I said, “Well, I can help her” and he replied, “What’s it to you?” I said, “This is what feminism’s about – women helping women.”
He said, “Oh, get lost.” I looked at the woman and said, “We live in a society in Britain where rights are equal – if you need help you can ask for it.”
‘The husband came up behind me and said in my ear, “You f*** off,” ‘I wanted to get out of the shop as quickly as possible, but he approached me again.’
She called for a security guard and when one arrived, he began speaking to the man. Meanwhile, Miss Heathcote-Drury, who had paid for her shopping, was making her escape down the aisle when she claims she felt a sharp pain in her left shin and stumbled.
‘The woman was standing with her hand on her hip and smirking. She wanted to humiliate me. Then she hit me on the left cheek.’
Today the elegant 41-year-old is exhausted, but grateful finally to have her chance to explain the truth about this strange and disturbing case.
'Before this, I believed that if you were innocent and told the truth, you would be protected by the system, but I've learned some very hard lessons.

Definitely not minding her own business. I believe this reflects not poorly on the Muslim family shopping, but Ms Cinnamon Bun-Heathbar,who chose to interject with an impromptu lesson in feminism.
We have our own clear division of labor in the check out line, I watch carefully the prices rung up, to prevent the inevitable overcharging at the register (I have an uncanny ability to remember the shelf price of everything which goes into the cart) while Mrs. Mate unloads the cart.
I load all the groceries into the car, and unload them at home.
What impression this makes on bystanders, I care for very little.
I think the pain she's feeling is neither from being slapped nor called a racist. It's the pain of realizing that everyone else is not a fellow condescending shytehead.
Nope...kinda like the camels and goats they sometimes own (or steal) but never like the people I know, or want to know..
I hope she gets arrested for a hate crime.
Stupid feminist left wing nutjob should have minded her own business.
She was just being a Western liberal celebrating diversity by thinking she was helping out a Muslim woman and wearing her liberalism on her sleeve in a public place. All she knows of Islamic culture is her own caricature. She had no idea of the actual culture she was interfering with. Frankly, I don’t feel sorry for her.
You should all go to the link and read the article. This woman was attacked, then falsely accused, went through a court ordeal. It’s not as simple as the tiny amount excerpted here implies! Frealin’ muzzies made false charges against her!
Looks like the “elegant” 41 year old learned two important lessons: one, loudmouth feminists need to keep their crap to themselves, and two: any “help” offered to Muslims by infidels will be thrown right back, often violently.
A face like that is worth slapping twice.
I guess “elegant” is British slang for “dog faced.”
LOL. She should be kicked in her sanctimonious ass just for that. This is a parable of liberalism. Arrogant people forcing themselves on those they think need help, whether the people being helped want it or not.
Liberals are ignorant of Islam whose missions in evangelism include domination through force of the society they wish to inhabit. Oh...and they lie, lie, lie. Their whole belief system is based on lies. If Ms. Famous Photographer wanted to really help society, she should have sued their pants off for defamation of character and assault...demonstrated true feminism by defending herself and not hiding in the corner taking a Valium.
But her keen Euroweenie Fabianist programming wouldn't let her be honest and forthright about it (Like, "GTFO of Britain. Please.") and instead she figured she could channel it through feminism. And of course the Muzwoman, on her own brand of f'd-up programming, beat her up and down.
Which is why many people are herded into accepting the label "liberal". They are afraid of Stalinists smearing them as imperialist-homophobic-xenophobic-greedy-racists.
There was no inteview with the Muzzies? The Daily Mail didn’t even mention trying to contact them. If I were her, I would file a lawsuit against them and take them for every dime they’re worth. Why the nobility? They were willing to totally destroy her when they were at fault. It’s clear the Muzzies know how to play the system in Britain.
Big-boned busybody bitch-slapped by barbarians bemoans backlash
Yes Virginia, there really is evil in the world.
What an idiot. No one likes to be lectured to. She should have simply smiled and asked the woman directly, “May I give you a hand?” I would have been annoyed by her snarky quip about feminism too, and I consider myself a (sane) feminist.
That said, it did NOT give the Muslim woman license to kick or hit her. I hope that goes without saying!
