Luxury department store Selfridges has said that it will not take any further action after one of its employees was suspended for refusing to serve a man who was shopping with the leader of the English Defence League.

The employee refused to help the man who was with Tommy Robinson and was suspended for “violating company policy”.

A spokesman said: "If something happens against company policy you need to investigate it.
"The assistant has worked for Selfridges for seven years with an unblemished record and he accepts what he did was wrong."

However, the spokesperson added that the staff member was expected to return to the shop floor this week.
