Asbo for Nazi pensioner

A goose-stepping 80-year-old woman who hurled anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic abuse at neighbours has been given an Asbo.

Edna Beck subjected neighbours at the East Sussex flats where she lives to "intolerable" anti-social behaviour for seven years, Brighton magistrates heard.

Mike Tyler, prosecuting for Brighton and Hove City Council, said: "She was observed to goose-step behind a visitor to the premises and to perform a Nazi salute at her neighbour."
