A US Army veteran was racially abused on a tram in Manchester by three teenagers on Tuesday morning as reports talked about rising racism in Britain after Brexit.

Jasso has been living in the UK for 18 years now. One of the assailants, who was carrying a bottle of beer, even flicked alcohol from the bottle at Jasso in the tram. However, other people in the tram eventually stood by Jasso and the three teenagers had to leave the tram. One of the other commuters even told the three teenagers, “You are an absolute disgrace to England.”
According to CNN, police in Manchester arrested two young men and a teenager in connection with the incident. Over 100 incidents of racial abuse and hate crimes have been reported since the UK voted to leave the EU, PTI had reported. “We should be absolutely clear that this government will not tolerate intolerance… intimidating migrants, telling them they need to go home,” outgoing British PM David Cameron’s Downing Street spokesperson had said. To combat the rising number of hate crimes post-Brexit, a Twitter user came up with the idea that people should wear a safety pin to show solidarity and support for the immigrants living in the UK.
The idea being that anyone against the sort of nationalistic, racist violence we've been seeing could identify themselves as a "safe" ally.

I'd like to come up with something that can be made by anybody anywhere to pin on their jacket or coat to signify that they are an ally.

I quite like the idea of just putting a safety pin, empty of anything else, on your coat. A literal SAFETY pin!

People soon started tweeting with #safetypin with images of them wearing a safety pin.
