People getting racially abused because of the referendum result

[infide1castr0]

heard that there was a small but "made themselves present" polish far right contingent on the Harlow march...in the absence of a united multicultural response to this shit the far right are best positioned to profit from this...on both the Polish and British side

Stand up to Racism have their annual conference in a couple of weeks

<shame to see no Polish/eastern european speakers invited, though there is a session somewhere in amongst it on "Brexit: Defend Migrant Rights & freedom of movement" tbf

seems like Stand UP is the only game in town on this atm (and as i said upthread im dubious of their swp position on this)

That looks excellent, I didn't know they had a national conference (then again I didn't know much about them at all). Shame I won't be in London until a few days after, is anyone here planning on going?

And yes it does seem to be a shame about the lack of Eastern European speakers invited, I wonder if there will be any protests outside of the event.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd's plans for businesses to publish the amount of "foreign" workers they employ "as a way to encourage them to hire more locals" has made me feel physically sick....utterly racist, divisive and legitimising foreigner hatred.

Perhaps foreign workers could be made to wear some kind of badge to make it clearer to us all?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bit like Brown's British jobs for British people nonsense, I doubt this will go anywhere. But indicative of the mess the Tories are in atm. They have decided that the referendum was basically all about immigration, which for many people it probably was.

Starting with this Yankee perhaps?

That's one of the stupidest policies I've ever heard, it sounds like something the BNP would come up with, what the fuck kind of a country is Britain turning into? I hope every foreign worker that Rudd encounters refuses to have anything to do with her...

the Vermin have shown themselves properly in the past few days. People actually vote for these as well...

Thought your handicraft skills up to making your own badge.

 

[bimble]

You need a special kit to make badges. I could do teeshirts though.

It really was a stunning thing for the PM of the UK to say, in 2016,
"If you think you're a citizen of the world you're a citizen of nowhere".

I think it was Nelson Mandela said we are citizens of the world, silly old him.

You need a) another badge; b) some sticky back plastic; c) glue; d) a sheet of a4 and e) a pen. And f) a small safety pin. Draw five or six circles using the badge as a template. Cut these out. Glue two together, and pierce with the safety pin. This will be the back. Glue 3 more together. Write your message on the front. Over the slogan stick the sticky back plastic. Trim as necessary. Then glue these three to the 2. Voila, one badge.

bimble if you get that Velcro tape and cut a circle of that, if would work better on jumpers or scarves than a safety pin. You may find this at work, but remember not to ask your manager, just look in the stationery cupboard.

Thank you Pickman's model .
I had no idea you were so crafty.
I'm tempted nonetheless to look towards the Tshirt business for my share of the CITIZEN OF NOWHERE market because after all is said and done, badges are a bit sad.

But seriously, she did say that.

She thinks the referendum on Europe made it a good idea to say such a thing.

Bit older than that I think.

There is a Nowhere Island, some artist chap did for the London Olympiad. My suggestion for the constitution made it onto page 3.

Socrates, Nelson Mandella, whatever. Idealistic fools, from the olden days.
The people of Britain have spoke.

What did they say?

What did they say?

The people of Britain said yes to 'leaving the EU'. That is being interpreted by the current administration as they think best.
