Reply to: Can we deport the racists please?

Parliament asked because the Wail and other media outlets were claiming it had increased. Oddly enough politicians react to the media.

The police statistics would be able to prove whether the media was making a fuss based on nothing or not. In this case there is evidence to suggest the media were right.

It's true.

Ever stopped to ask yourself why a "Parliament" overstocked with Pro-Remainers should go asking the Police for such statistics? More Project Fear propaganda. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Nothing more.
Pounced upon, of course, by the gullible liberals. Honestly, I bet you could wring your hands before you could walk.

brand UK

What PR bollox. It is and has been Great Britain PLC for a long time (and GB Ltd before that).

[CretinWatcher]

The damage caused to brand UK by all this will be lasting.
You'd think twice if you were a foreign investor, wouldn't you, even apart from the poor economic outlook.

I'm not defending these things but don't confuse cause with effect. The referendum campaign did not create these tensions from nowhere, merely released legitimised pent up anger...

FTFY.

Bracist.

[BrilloPad]

I guess Brexiters don't like facts....

Bracist.

We are all in this together. Or the 48% who voted stay can f00k off and get their own country. Why not move to Syria?

I made my post 5 days ago on the day parliament asked for figures which the police had to compile and cross check.

London riots being a recent, prime example.

yeah what are you to do when the 50 execute an innocent drug dealer and you need new treads?

Look at history, this has happened over and over again. Tensions are suppressed for decades and finally, when some event triggers the reaction, things go over the top. In the Ottoman empire Christians and Muslims had co-existed reasonably well for centuries until events following the first world war triggered massacres.

If our governments don't want conflicts they need to listen a bit more to citizens' concerns and address them while they are still minor.

And then they may win referendum....

Oh well if there are "loads of people" then that clinches it!
Honestly, anyone would think that racism only started on the 24th June.
FWIW, most of the abusive stuff has come from overly-miffed Bremainers still refusing to accept that the nation's democratic choice went against them.
Petulant, churlish, and pathetic in equal measure.
Get over it and move on.

Slowly going up I see: Three race hate crimes every hour since EU referendum, say Met Police | Crime | News | The Independent

New figures show 599 incidents of race hate crime were reported to Scotland Yard between 24 June - the day the result was announced - and 2 July.

It means the Metropolitan Police was receiving an average of 67 allegations a day in the wake of the poll. This was a rise of more than 50 per cent compared to the average daily number of 44 prior to 24 June.

Come on then, where is this Bremainer racism? We need facts not more made up bollocks...

[shaunbhoy]

Loads of people are reporting of being verbally abused including those with Irish surnames and those who have an Indian heritage.
