THE British army battalion that used an image of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for target practice is now being accused of “shocking” instances of racism by black military veterans.

Former lance corporal Nkululeko Zulu told an employment tribunal in central London today that he had encountered repeated racist remarks during his decade in the army.

Mr Zulu said he had been preparing to join the special forces but became disillusioned after fellow squaddies called Kenya a “shithole country” while on exercises in east Africa.
