Staff at a village shop have been threatened, abused and attacked by thugs refusing to wear masks.
Bosses from Bridgeway Stores in Bridge, near Canterbury, say employees have had obscenities and grocery items hurled their way after refusing to serve people who ignored pleas to cover their faces.

Owner Ranjit Dhaliwal has also been told by louts that they would burn the shop down and even kill him following disputes over social-distancing and mask-wearing.
He estimates that since lockdown was first imposed in March last year, there have been as many as 20 incidents inside the store â six of which have taken place in the past month.
