The owner of a shop in north London named 'Really British' has hit back at claims that his store, which stocks "quintessentially British items,” is racist.

The shop, in Muswell Hill, opened to the public November 26 - and since then owner Chris Ostwald says he's received a barrage of complaints.

He told local newspaper the Ham&High: “The shop is in no way meant to be ‘political’ or ‘pro Brexit’, but we have had a lot of complaints saying it is or we are ‘racist!”

“A guy came in the other day and said, ‘what’s this, a charity shop?’ and we said, ‘no, not at all’, and he said, ‘well it’s racist’, and stormed out.”

“People have been coming in and just tutting and walking out.”
