You do know that English isn't the only native language in the UK, right? Of course the government isn't going to outlaw the speaking of other languages, how would they even police that?

On the other hand, the less pleasant members of any society will always seize a chance to air their vile, bigoted opinions and that's what has happened here. Assuming that anything happened at all.

A friend shared it on FB this morning as an example of awful things happening post Brexit. She lives in the West Country and said it had happened near her so I'm.not sure if it it is real or faked.
I'm sure there are some racists out there who are thinking this though

Yeah but apparently no other language counts. Welsh speakers being told off for speaking Welsh is one example.

It’s not stirring to state that there has been more racism since we voted out of Europe, police and government statistics are agreed on that. Incidences such as this, whether this was true or not have increased.

Whatever your opinion is on Brexit it is undeniable that some of the campaigning and the eventual result has meant that racism has risen.

ChickLitLover · 01/02/2020 16:07

Yes it’s true that there are many twats in the world.

TeddyIsaHe · 01/02/2020 16:07

It is genuine. It was put up in a Norwich tower block. The police are investigating it.

Far-right groups in Europe are now applauding England as an ally, according to my sibling who lives in Spain.

So although that photograph is just awful, it doesn't surprise me that much.

Teresajune · 01/02/2020 16:16

That actually makes me want to be sick.

DeDoRonRon · 01/02/2020 16:21

Depressing that some people's immediate and instinctive response is to deny, or to minimise debate. "Stop stirring" indeed. Shall we just pretend it didn't happen?

DivisionBelles · 01/02/2020 16:21

It's genuine apparently. Sadly Brexit seems to have allowed opinions that people may otherwise not have voiced openly, to do just that. Too scared to put their name to it though.

iheartislesofwight · 01/02/2020 16:22

there are some sick people out there who need reining in and dealing with, with the full force of the law behind it.

iheartislesofwight · 01/02/2020 16:23

total cowards who give no name and will cover their faces.

WrongKindOfFace · 01/02/2020 16:24

Even if it isn’t genuine there are plenty of people out there who think along those lines.

GreenishMe · 01/02/2020 16:28

Whether that notice was written by a racist or concocted by someone with an agenda, it's plainly not a true statement.

I agree with PP - OP's pretence of genuinely needing to ask if it's true is fucking stirring it.

iheartislesofwight · 01/02/2020 16:33

it's out there onsocial media, ophas merely bought to attention of mners, how is it stirring in rl ? Confusedop might be a bit naive but she's not agreeing this shit is a good thing [

TeddyIsaHe · 01/02/2020 16:36

It’s not shit stirring to bring attention to the absolutely vile and horrific things people think they can get away with now.

Downplaying it is disgusting.

acatcalledjohn · 01/02/2020 16:37

it's plainly not a true statement.

Given that you seem to have more information, perhaps you want to contact Northampton Police to halt their investigation in to the matter. Can't waste tax payers money on hoaxes now, can we.

bellinisurge · 01/02/2020 16:40

Twats gonna twat.
Hope the police do something about it.

SpamChaudFroid · 01/02/2020 16:43

Holy moly, I live not far from Norwich. This has always been a racist area, and I've noticed more and more that my opinions are earning me dirty looks from people.

acatcalledjohn · 01/02/2020 16:44

(I did mean Norwich.)

GreenishMe · 01/02/2020 16:48

Are you all claiming that you believe the twaddle in that notice about the government banning non-English? Deporting people who speak a different language? None of you read it and immediately saw it was absolute crap? Is that what you're all pretending??

BULL SHIT - and shame on you. Liars all.

ItWillBeBetterinAugust · 01/02/2020 16:48

acatcalledjohn I think Greenish probably meant that the wild statements about what the government is going to do on and about the council's alleged language rules for their housing are not true.

ItWillBeBetterinAugust · 01/02/2020 16:50

GreenishMe I think you're arguing at cross purposes and others are wondering whether it's true that a racist hung the paper up in a block of council flats or whether it's an internet hoax.
