A mixed race girl was subjected to monkey taunts by a gang of racist yobs after she accidentally stumbled into a National Front meeting.
The seven-year-old had gone with her parents to a social club in Wavertree, Liverpool, to book their wedding reception but inadvertently walked into a room where 14 far-right activists were discussing group tactics.
The yobs turned round as the girl walked through the door, and as soon as they saw her began shouting: 'F*** off back to where you come from' and started making monkey noises at her, it has been claimed.
Vile: The little girl was apparently bombarded with foul, racist language and monkey noises by the far-right National Front. Members (unconnected with this case) are pictured here at a protest in London
The bewildered girl’s mother who is white and father who is from Sierra Leone pulled the youngster out of the room and reported the incident to police.
Enquiries revealed the yobs had taped over CCTV cameras at Wavertree Cricketers Club, but some footage has been recovered by police and is now being studied to identify the culprits.

Today the girl’s parents, aged 30 and 31, said no attempt had been made by club officials to turf the racist yobs out of the venue.
They said the room had been decked out with Union flags and banners emblazoned with nationalist slogans.
In an interview with Liverpool Echo, the girl’s mother, of south Liverpool, said their wedding plans were now in disarray because they would not set foot in the venue again.

They insisted there was no doubt the abuse was directed at their daughter.
The mother said: 'They were shouting and telling her to f*** off back to where she came from and making monkey noises.
'Luckily, she did not really know what was going on, but I’ve brought her up to know that although she has different-coloured skin she is the same as everyone else.
'If she had understood what they were saying it could have scarred her for life.'
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: 'This incident has made me sick to the pit of my stomach.
'It’s hard to believe that so-called human beings can stoop to this sort of level. Thankfully the little girl doesn’t seem to have understood what was going on, but these would not have known that, they wouldn’t have given a toss.
