    Brexit Vote Triggers Increase in Racist Attacks

    Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron reached out Monday to reassure Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo about the safety of Polish migrants in the UK following a wave of reports of verbal abuse and racist intimidation against them.

    Workers at the Polish Social and Cultural Association in Hammersmith, West London, arrived at work last week to find obscene graffiti on the building's front door.

    Residents of the Polish community in Huntingdon, near Cambridge, found racist messages in their mailboxes and on doorsteps.



    The Polish embassy has expressed shock and concern, and it has urged migrants who experience or witness acts of xenophobia to contact authorities. Meanwhile, London's Mayor Sadiq Khan has asked Scotland Yard to be "extra vigilant."

    Islamic and other religious and ethnic groups also are reporting an alarming increase in verbal abuse since Britain last week voted to leave the European Union.

    Some observers link that decision to racist and nationalist sentiment they say has been encouraged and exploited by politicians — particularly U.K. Independence Party head Nigel Farage and former London mayor Boris Johnson.

    British citizens came out in force on Twitter and in other social media outlets, however, to distance themselves from racist sentiment and denounce acts of anti-migrant intimidation.

    No surprise there - that the leave campaign was based on nothing more than xenophobia and racism was clear from the start. I suppose it comes as a shock for those who don't know England to see the poisonous racism that half the English population espouses. Sometimes it's hard to see as many of the English don't have the courage to be honest or open about their beliefs, at least not unless they're in a position to gang up on a lone foreign woman or child. It's not a coincidence that the English are famed for hypocrisy. Those of us who know the country are not particularly surprised. Still, I suppose it's something that approximately 50% of them are not particularly racist, that puts them on a par with the rest of Western Europe circa 1990.

    Serious question:

    Are Polish people a different race than Britons?

    Are poles a specific race or the member of a racial group?

    When I read this OP and article from the media, I knew it was a lie.

    But I even googled.

    So now, Polish people are actually a specific race?

    Are the Lithuanians are separate race also? Estonian? Latvian? How about Czechs? Slovaks? Are the Danes a different and specific race?

    Somebody please explain the Poles being a race.

    "Polish ctr in my Hammersmith neighbrhd smeared w graffiti overnight. First attack in its 50 yr history. Depressing"

    So apparently the headline "increase in racist attacks" manages to cite one such alleged attack? The Voice of America is about as credible as any other shit from the US Government. For more fictional reading try the 9-11 report, the Warren Report or anything Obama says.

    You forgot, some of us went to college when it still taught us how to think.

    Thankfully here on TD we have some English members who are rather instructive in such matters.

    They post and remove any doubt, basically.

    The bigoted scumbags who voted leave actually saw the result as an endorsement of their hatred and discrimination.

    When I clicked the link I went to the source --> the VOA (Voice of America).

    Cameron made the first statement and in the VOA article it regurgitated the term "racist."


    Utter shite.

    Minorities are urged to leave, since this is what the numbskulls believe they voted for.

    And that in a nation with a long tradition of welcoming people from various backgrounds and giving shelter to the persecuted from the progroms.

    the actions of a few dozen shaven headed right wing british nazis hardly defines a nation of 60 million stroller.

    nobody will be asked to leave, all europeans living legally in the uk will be given the right to remain, of that i am sure (a few unemployed, unemployable rumanian pickpockets and latvian murderers may be shown the door though), no matter what the rest of the eu decrees for uk citizens residing on the mainland.

    It's also visible in the streets. As I walk around I'm hearing words people haven't dared to say in public since the 70s. The hateful and the small-minded feel like they've now been given a licence to sta anything they like. Thankfully there are still many people not like that.

    Half the problem is the Polish are as racist as us Brits.
    So when we move out of London , Birmingham etc to small towns to get away from the darkies, muslims etc , we find the the Poles are starting to do the same .

    Trouble is, the Poles we have taken are mostly chavs replete with:
    a loud mouth , neck tattoo , drink problem , smoke problem, hygiene issues
    a puppy dog attitude to working rights, etc
    so despite being the same race people are sick of them .

    There are 170 plus countries in the world, So I say to any non Brits here having a whinge and don't like the way things are going , might I suggest you pack your bags and self entitlement and piss off .

    Blown out of all proportion by the dummy spitter's and BBC similar to the Jo Cox murder before the vote.

    A few random acts probably committed by a left wing loonie to bolster support for a second referendum which will never happen.

    The BBC, dummy spitting remainers and the media are doing their utmost to stir up the hornets nest...

    Britain needs calm people and a positive attitude now..
