A racist Glasgow woman kicked off at a worker at a supported accommodation shortly after 9am.

Jacqueline Boyle had been a resident at Aspire Housing & Personal Development Services Ltd in Crosshill for three months on March 26 last year, when staff carrying out welfare checks knocked on her room door.

Boyle did not answer, so workers unlocked the door.

They noted that the 38-year-old was awake, conscious and breathing, so they headed to the next room.

But before they could leave, Boyle started shouting at Erica Malakia, an employee.

She said: “You f*****g black b***h, you f*****g black c**t, it’s not going to change, you’re a black cow. All youse f*****g black people are the same.”

During the racist rant, she was asked to calm down but she refused.

Staff members warned they would call the police but Boyle ignored this and continued her conduct, unwilling to desist.

At 10.30am, Police Scotland was alerted. When they arrived, they took Boyle to Cathcart police station.

The woman, whose address is listed as the same supported accommodation, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday after she pleaded guilty to acting in a racially aggravated manner, which caused or intended to cause Ms Malakia alarm or distress.

Boyle's lawyer said: "She has been in a couple of accommodations since then. She is getting on better and engaging better with the staff. She knows she needs to be on good behaviour."

Sheriff Mary Shields reiterated: "This behaviour is completely unacceptable but given your personal circumstances, I consider that the most appropriate disposal is a community payback order.

“It would be a good thing if you accepted the help that’s there.”

Boyle was sentenced to one year of supervision.
