Some of the kids from our youth club (mostly Romanians) have been told by their schoolteachers that they'll be 'going home soon' 
Some of the kids are young enough that the UK is the only home they know. Can you imagine the kind of person who would fuck with a seven-year-old child's head like that? Now imagine that person teaches in a primary school. Sickening.

The schools round here have form for cunting off Polish and Romanian kids unfortunately. All the secondary schools are academies which basically means there's no gurarantee of a kid getting a place anywhere, because the schools can expel any kid they can't be bothered with (particularly kids with English as a second language who they fear may drag down the test results) and the local authority is powerless to do anything. Kids roaming the streets during school hours is such a common sight in this neighbourhood that I sometimes forget school is even a thing.

because they don't have a job any more...
If that's not gross misconduct, I'm not sure what is.
Bloody hell, that's shocking. So schools can just refuse to take kids and then the kids don't get to go to school? Then does school Attendance Office/Truant Person/Whateveriscalled go to the parents and say "why doesn't kid go to school?" and parents say "why doesn't school take kid?". Wow.

The big school near me has a shiny new branded 'attendance officer' 4x4. An all terrain vehicle is vital in a terraced inner city area of course. But the attendance officer works for the school, and so is only interested in rounding up the kids who are on the school's books. There's no local authority attendance officer as far as I know, nor anyone whose job it is to make sure every kid has a school to go to.

Kids falling off school records altogether is a thing. It is trueThat's all pretty worrying.

Name and shame them. They don't deserve to be teachers.

It's not 'officially sanctioned' anywhere but academisation does seem to allow this sort of thing to happen much more easily than it would have done in the days of LEA's. I doubt that's an accident.

back on the other side
when put alongside this
"In the latest incident to emerge, Avon and Somerset Police appealed for witnesses after a Polish man suffered ”significant injuries“ following a racially aggravated assault by two men on the day the referendum result was announced.
The victim, in his 30s, was walking along St Michael's Avenue in Yeovil, Somerset, at about 6pm on 24 June.Two men approached him and asked if he spoke English, before repeatedly punching and kicking him. The attack continued as he lay on the floor.
He required hospital treatment for a potentially life-changing eye injury, a fractured cheekbone and substantial bruising to his body. The incident was not reported to the force until 27 June."
Its a matter of time before someone dies I feel....
On which note I heard about the Farage quote "and if people feel that voting doesnt change anything then violence is the next step" (from here The far right are coming: Brexit has helped them along – video ) - he is making a threat, but its one I totally agree with him on. It now looks like the UK wont deport those EU citizens already here. I then predict that there will be very little change to the amount of people allowed to migrate to the UK (based on current laws). Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I really fear that this will activate a wave of extremist xenophobic violence amongst those who thought that voting leave allowed for expulsion and closing borders, and they will take a position along the lines of 'if the government wont do it, we'll do it ourselves'. There should be zero surprise about this.

It's a pretty good opening gambit, though - gives the racist the opportunity to back off and save face without a confrontation. I'd be thoughtful about having my back to them or not being able to see them, though - just in case they are determined to have a confrontation - but my guess is that quite a high proportion of situations would be defused by this.
By their teachers? Fuksake.. Little surprised at that. Arsehole behaviour from anyone. But presume something a bit betterSome of the kids from our youth club (mostly Romanians) have been told by their schoolteachers that they'll be 'going home soon'

I guess that's ok for anyone who doesn't feel they can smack the cunt in the face, which would still be my preferred course of action.

Having fights in public does not do a lot to help people who are abused feel better. Offering support and friendship in that sort of situation does, as well as being a statement that the attitude is not acceptable or shared by others (while still not giving the abuser an excuse to kick off further).

Not as satisfying, though.

This is fair enough but if someone was actually being attacked rather than abused I would feel compelled to help them even though thankfully I've never been involved in any sort of fighting and subsequently lack any experience.

Well sure, if somebody is being physically attacked then it would be different, but that's much less common in public than abuse.
I wish you were equally outraged when all those White Girls were getting raped and sexually abused by Racists up in the North of England.
