Moncler. They have a whole range of stuff with the same design. I thought it might be a sick joke at first and can't see the stuff on their site but this photo was also on Facebook. Apparently they have withdrawn the stuff from sale and apologised on Twitter

Why not explore the boards a bit more? After all as you admit this has nothing to do with the topic of the thread, so either start a new one or put it on the lonely post thread.

I opted out of this thread when I realised it had descended into one of those where too many people are Taking A Position and assuming that anything anyone else says is also Taking A Position.Seriously, all you can take away from my post is that I suggested some racism is harmless? Really? Christ.
But I want to apologise for my intemperate responses upthread - I was in a lot of pain, frustrated and grumpy.

Hardly getting over it.
Personally, I hope that loads of people buy them, on the principle that anyone wearing one is a cunt, and should be slapped.

Self awareness fail.
perhaps you aren't familiar with Madonna's song 'vogue' which has clear resonance with existentialist's post quoted. You're full of fail.

Well, I knew what you meant, anyway. Bastard

Urban nationalists a little quiet on this one, bit boring the racist abuse now I guess
It's all about some people in the labour party now for the chattering Lexit classes.

Because, of course, if you voted "leave", you've absolutely got to be a nationalist member of the "chattering Lexit classes", haven't you?
Yeah the ones here do. Easy to see from what they say. Basically `suck it up foreign types it's just a slap`. Not you so much, from what I can see of you, to be fair. You've got some non-wasp in you i bet. Your friends though, keep an eye on them.Because, of course, if you voted "leave", you've absolutely got to be a nationalist member of the "chattering Lexit classes", haven't you?

yeh ViolentPanda, but keep your enemies closer
Cheer up, some burger chain just deported a load on non-fortress Europe types. The ones that the Euro-imperialist chattering bremainers like you voted to keep out.

Putting things into perspective, "Hate crime incidents reported to police have reduced following a spike after the EU referendum."
No doubt there was a spike in hate crimes due to the rhetoric of the leave campaign, and that the numbers have since settled down slightly. What's more worrying though is the longer term upwards trend that can be seen over a number of years, and that the June/July 2016 figures we have heard so much about recently are a continuation of that trend. Maybe people like Xenonxenon would like to comment on that, rather than cynically using a serious issue as a political football because he/she is sore about the referendum result.
Some actual data taken from here and here.

I'd also add that we won't know for certain how out-of-trend the June/July figures actually are until the Home Office release their yearly report around October. I suspect the 'brexit effect' will be a tiny blip compared to the overall increase in recent years.

The ones where? if you live in some shithole like Buttfuck on Sea (AKA Clapton), I can see you might have the beginnings of a point, but otherwise, you're talking out of your obviously capacious arse.

Long ago, as is the attic.
The crime survey figures show falling hate crimes, alongside a general overall fall in crime, I posted about it here

Falling from 2009 to 2011, staying steady for a while and rising from 2013 until now. According to the stats I came across at least.

Although that covers racism and not hate crime in general.
thats crime reported to police, the Crime Survey of England and Wales is what it says, a survey, but it is a designated national statistic and more likely to reflect the true figures as many crimes aren't reported, smallish sample though when it comes to hate crime.

So if the survey data is falling but the recorded figures rising I presume the police are doing a better job at dealing with hate crime? Or is that too optimistic?

No - it means that people are reporting more of the crimes to the police. The survey data is probably best indicator of the actual level of crime as it asks people if they've been a victim of crime (whether reported or not) and then statistically extrapolates from that, whilst the police numbers are only what is reported to them.
