Solidarity against neoliberalism!
Just seen on London live that a polish cultural centre has been covered in 'f off home' grafitti. And some polish households in west london have recieved rascist leaflets.

Seen a few National Action stickers around Walsall over the past six months or so and some 'MULTICULTURALISM IS WHITE GENOCIDE' in bus stops.

Presumably the same incident FridgeMagnet mentioned in post 72

Yeah, that was the POSK centre. The Polish community in Hammersmith has been well established since after ww2.

That polish cultural center in Hammersmith is the most important building for poles living in the UK, its like an embassy. Its a massive building, several floors, has been there for decades, has polish resteraunts, arts spaces, meeting rooms etc etc. If your a lonely and lost pole its the most obvious place to and make contacts....

It reminds me of how things felt after Lee Rigby except ten times worse.

Vandalising the POSK is an attempt to say that nowhere is safe; no matter how respectable and long-standing you are, you're still foreigners, immigrants, interlopers. Though one thing I'm happy with about H&F is that that shit really does not play here, not without a fight.

Fuck.
I saw two men turning and staring at a woman in a niqab this morning. Have seen that before, but their lack of subtlety felt different. A bubbling aggression underneath it.

But once the fools realise that their utopian dream of a white Britain is fruitless, & that nothing whatsoever changes regards to immigration policy. What we've seen over the last 48 hours is of concern, not that I'm saying racism didn't exist at this level pre-brexit, of course it did. But there seems to have been a worrying spike.

I think it's the general uncertainty which is leading to a relaxation of some social restrictions like not exposing yourself as a racist wanker in public.

It's even more important to ensure those of us who are not racist wankers mentally rehearse our plans to stand with any one who is getting abuse of any kind and resolve to do this without exception both during and after incidents. In most cases it only takes one person to stand against this and other decent but unprepared people will follow.

The fascists and the fuckwits feel empowered. Their "side" won the campaign, and now these arsewipes believe they have licence for their disgusting behaviour. If anybody is injured or dies because of this upsurge of overt racism, their blood is on the hands of every politician who attempted to make the referendum about "immigration". Every two-bob cunt from Umunna to Dunked-in Shit, to Farage.

But they don't have 17,000,000 behind them, as they will eventually realise.
A mate posted this on facebook earlier: Is not going to be enough to hate racism anymore. People must hate it and stand up against it where ever they hear it or see it. I cannot believe the bile and hatred shown in recent days. Racism is abhorrent and should be treated with severe disdain. Call it out. Protect your fellow women and men
I think she might be right, til things normalise.
For those of you on facebook here is an album someone has been keeping to publicise some of this shit.

Always. It is not enough to be not a racist, it's important to be anti racist.

"Labour MP Jess Phillips announced on Twitter that she would be putting in a parliamentary question to find out the numbers of reported instances of racial hatred in the UK in the weekend following the Brexit vote, compared with last week."
though of course reported incidents will be a minuscule fraction it will be interesting to see the result of that anyway

A few thoughts....I don't know why people are shocked that in this climate those with racist/bigoted views feel more empowered to speak out and air them.
Racism didn't go away, ever. Some people just became less confident in being openly racist/bigoted. Some bemoaned having to be 'politically correct'. Others just tailored their lives so they didn't have to 'mix' with anyone 'not their own' as much as possible.
I also think that people are more likely to report/share everyday instances of racism/bigotry at the moment because they have something tangible to attach it to/associate it with.

Of course these people were always there...whats happening still deserves focussing on though and is different...history doesnt stand still and there are all kinds of worrying possibilities of how it might go in the future.

I haven't said it doesn't need focusing on I am talking about people 'being shocked' that's it's happening. Two completely different points.

And they'd be wrong, couple of months they will be lucky if they can find two.
