Police called in after poster tells residents of flats to speak English ‘Happy Brexit Day’ sign in Norwich block said foreign tongues would not be tolerated
A poster telling residents of a block of flats “we do not tolerate” people speaking languages other than English in the building has been reported to police. The typewritten poster, bearing the title “Happy Brexit Day”, was reportedly found stuck to fire doors in Winchester Tower in Norwich on Friday morning. The discovery came hours before the UK officially left the European Union at 11pm later that day. A photo of the poster shared in news reports and on social media revealed that it declared: “We finally have our great country back.”
“Norwich has a proud history of being a welcoming city, and we will not tolerate this behaviour. As soon as we became aware of this incident, we reported it to Norfolk police and they are investigating.
Just for the sake of awareness I'd like to mention that English isn't the only language native to the British Isles and also the fact the English has only been spoken here for 5 minutes anyhow.
All this person has done is to induce a flood of support for these residents so their vitriol is just a shot in their own foot.
THE first episode of series 4 of 999: What's Your Emergency? on Monday night highlighted the growing number of race hate crimes that are being dealt with by Wiltshire Police but did little for the image of Swindon.
Many viewers took to social media during and after the 9pm show on Channel 4, which focussed on Swindon, to express embarrassment about the way their home town or county was featured and others were left aghast at what they saw.
One of the most tweeted about remarks was when one suspect was questioned by police for being racist said: "No my dog is black."

We are foolish to think anything has changed. I have posted these before, and still feel sick watching them. They are nearly 50 years old.

Brexit day poster: Residents stage anti-racism protest over notice at flats telling tenants to speak English or leave
Residents of a council housing block where a poster telling tenants to “speak only English” was erected on Brexit day have responded with messages of welcome for foreigners. People living in Winchester Tower in Norwich staged an anti-racism demonstration and erected notices condemning the original message of intolerance. One notice, signed by several residents, read: “Everyone is welcome here – except bigots.” Another addressed “to our European friends” and was also signed by residents. Police are treating the original poster, which was headed “Happy Brexit Day”, as a “racially aggravated public order incident”.

"the the Queens English is the spoken tongue here"
Obviously not the written
It's a grammatical catastrophe from someone who complains that Johnny Foreigner cannot speak good English. Oh the irony.
Here's one of the numerous Twitter feeds about it that are currently trending.
A large number will also have a better grasp of English, than the average racist.
I find it really difficult to comprehend how people think in this way.
This is not just a nasty letter, it is a way of life for many of them.

Love it.
I came across a guy with similar beliefs at work last year. I just shook my head and walked away as it was either that or chin him.
