Anyone seen this? Is it true?

Well i strongly doubt that there is any such legislation in the pipeline, or ever will be, but i can certainly believe that racists would like to think it’s true. And would like to spread their malicious lies about it too.

But it’s bollocks, nasty bollocks but bollocks all the same.
If not, will my weekly French conversation class be banned? 😂🤣😂. (Mixed French and English members so French nationals won’t be allowed to converse in their own language, much less infect us Brits with it ....)

ODFOD. There are plenty of backwards, uneducated cunts spouting this sort of racist, bigoted nonsense. The fact that factually is isn't true about deportation, the bigots use it to intimidate non English people.

Racists think that freedom of speech allows them to be racist, intimidating cunts.

Choose not to see it if you want, but that makes you wilfully ignorant.

acatcalledjohn · 01/02/2020 16:54

The issue is not whether the contents are true. It is that there are too many bigots out there who think spouting this shite and intimidating foreigners is acceptable.

It's not. Calling this behaviour out is not shit stirring. Sharing it because "obviously it's not true" is ignoring the actual point of what is wrong with the message in the first place.

acatcalledjohn · 01/02/2020 16:56

*saying

Not sharing it.

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

Well there are actually 3 options:

  1. A fascist thug put that up
  2. It's an internet hoax (likely not if police/Norwich council are involved)
  3. .?? I'll leave you all to ponder on that one.

We will have to wait for the police investigation to be completed.

DogInATent · 01/02/2020 17:12

Yes, it's real and shit like this has been going on for several years. Police are investigating.

The only slight surprise is that it's Norwich. Norwich is pro-Remain and slightly more tolerant than the rest of Norfolk - which is pretty well riddled with casual racism, xenophobia and intolerance.

This sort of thing needs to be called it, it needs to be made public, and anyone that doesn't find it abhorrent called out as what they are - racist, xenophobic, small-minded bullies.

GreenishMe · 01/02/2020 17:13

I'm not arguing at cross purposes. I responded to the OP's actual question "Is it true?" Well, no, it isn't true. It happened, yes - some obnoxious twat put an offensive sign up but it's an untrue statement.

But we all knew there were racist dickheads out there before this thread was started so it hasn't told us anything new. What it has done, is exactly what it was meant to do.... perpetuate the theme that all leavers are racists.

It's a divisary post and it's clearly worked and it's clearly served its purpose.

Sorry, thought I'd done the link properly.

Does that not make you even slightly question an alternative motive? Not everything is black and white but as Greenish says it’s certainly had the desired effect.

Chersfrozenface · 01/02/2020 17:26

Norwich didn't vote unanimously for Remain. 29,040 people voted for Leave - that's 43.8% of the city's population. There's every chance that one or more of those 29,040 holds these views.

SpecLosers · 01/02/2020 17:36

Racism. So rare in UK isn't it? Brexit has given those people a voice now.

Whether this notice is true or not... and I am not doubting its veracity, the racist Brexiteers may now feel they can voice their innate contempt towards Foreigners.

Not nice at all. But there we are.

VenusTiger · 01/02/2020 17:41

Oh the tar brush is out, yippee Hmm

time4chocolate · 01/02/2020 17:42

Yes, one of those could hold that type of view doesn’t mean it definitely is one of those though.

Oulu · 01/02/2020 18:01

Interesting that so many Brexiters are so anxious to make out that it's fake. You do need to own the consequences of your actions.

time4chocolate · 01/02/2020 18:10

I’m not saying it’s fake at all, it obviously exists as a document and I would hope said document is with the police. I was merely raising the possibility of a 3rd option.

countrygirl99 · 01/02/2020 18:17

Doesn't surprise me in the least. DS2s girlfriend was out running when her mum called. Usually she would have left it and called back when she got home, but as her grandad was very poorly, she stopped and answered. Next thing she knew a bloke was in her face screaming "we speak English here you Polish bitch". She said at least she could comfort himself as he was clearly too stupid to realise she wasn't speaking Polish. She has been abused several times by people thinking she is Polish, always Polish for some reason. Funnily enough always when she is alone/ with another woman, never when with a male.

itsgettingweird · 01/02/2020 18:18

I suspect it's real that some arsehat put it there.

I've lived and worked in the EU. People do say those sorts of things abroad too.

Be it is t the reason for ignorance. Ignorant people are the reason for ignorance.

I went abroad, registered to work in that country and become a resident. Spoke both my mother tongue and as much as that language as I could as I learnt it.

DeDoRonRon · 01/02/2020 18:22

"desired effect"..."third option"...goodness the deflection and minimising on this thread is really quite awful.

DarkDarkNight · 01/02/2020 18:23

Unfortunately I can believe this is the kind of drivel people think up. I’m not sure what some people were expecting when they voted to leave, but they’re going to be pretty disappointed aren’t they?

I really hope Brexit doesn’t lead to an increase in racist and xenophobic attacks Sad.

TeddyIsaHe · 01/02/2020 18:24

I live in Norwich and know the area extremely well.

I’d put money on it being real.

Mockers2020Vision · 01/02/2020 18:25

the queens english

Thought she was German?

ItWillBeBetterinAugust · 01/02/2020 18:33

Mockers2020Vision lots of German derived words in English, perhaps that's what they meant Grin

PostNotInHaste · 01/02/2020 18:39

I have no idea if it’s true or not but wouldn’t surprise me one bit. My local FB page has someone gloating about having beaten the Germans again.

If people happy to put their names to things like that am sure feeling safe in anonymity they will say much worse.

Chersfrozenface · 01/02/2020 18:45

Well, English would have lots of German derived words, being originally a Germanic language brought to the island of Britain by immigrants from Europe, the Anglo-Saxons. 'Saxon' means 'of Saxony', and Saxony is 'Sachsen' in German, as in Haus Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, our very own House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha AKA the Windsors.
