It happens in other countries as well, we aren't the only ones to have a few morons in our midst and they have always been around.
Romani ite domum.
The difference is, in the aftermath of the Leave vote, these morons now think they have half the country supporting their right to say what they kept quiet about just a week ago.Romani ite domum.

So it's down to the law of the land to show them the error of their ways, no? I would, but as a "signatory" to the social compact I'm not allowed to, and usually marching against them just leads to riots, which help no-one.Einion Yrth said:

Completely agree - I want police to take these seriously very quickly and for people to understand that kind of behaviour is socially unacceptable. It would be nice if people in the street actually showed disapproval for that kind of abuse too - but its easier for most people to find something interesting on the pavement as they walk by.Certainly not advocating demos or anything. We already have mechanisms to deal with antisocial behaviour, I thought.

Just as an aside. I asked my Polish work colleague, what he felt about the Brexit vote. He was dead chuffed as he won £50 betting on it.
Overall he's lived and worked here for many years and don't expect anything drastic will happen.
My Poles on Facebook are going nuts.Overall he's lived and worked here for many years and don't expect anything drastic will happen.
Not feeling welcome anymore.
Thinking of selling their houses and going "somewhere" (maybe Poland, maybe Germany or whatever).
Other guys (Canadians) I know feel offended, and take that vote as an "immigrants not welcome" vote.
Scientists lament the loss of EU funding for research...
But yeah, I hope it will calm down, and go back to normal asap.
I don't really thing anyone will have the nuts to actually DO IT. Imagine the blame they'd get for it!

Of course there are good Romanians. Though I did state the ones in our area who sadly are not very nice at all. I would never make a sweeping statement. My Wife and 2 kids are immigrants.People are people and a

We can't fill our production lines with those good ol' English workers because they don't want to do it.
I hear this a lot,where are all these Uk workers that are offered jobs and don't want them?Isn't it because wages and jobs are less lucrative in their own country and 'any' wage/job over here is better?Hence their apparent 'willingness' to do them?qska said:

Most of my EU friends think this. They feel that they have been told to fNot feeling welcome anymore.

k off, basically. Whether that was the intent of the vote or not, that's the message they heard - mainly because the campaign was so focused on immigration.I think this outburst is a result of that.

+1. I can see on my feed all the same anti-Brexit photo stories - no doubt that feeds into the consciousness of people (EU or otherwise). As for hostility, it's definitely not one-way.TX.

Exactly that - throw together any sample of people and you'll have some idiots, racists as well as a vast array of normal, decent people - a few idiots don't define the group or the vote - but happy moderate voters don't make good news or sell advertising. TX.
The UK is far better off for the social diversity we have and I don't believe the referendum result changes that. There are no more, or less racists, bigots or knobs here today than there were last Thursday morning. It's not like 15m people are going to join"Britain first" tomorrow morning.

Some lefty group like 38 degrees sticking some photos together so that their lefty / student / hipster fanbase can share on FB - that's not news - it's propaganda. It's the same lies and rubbish that we had before the referendum. If we did get the wrong result then these idiots are partly to blame.mph1977 said:

Look at some of the counties with large migrant populations. Boston has seen a 467% increase in its foreign born population. Their out vote was 75%, their town has changed beyond all recognition.
Yet we will sit here and call them racist and "little englander".

after a year the rate went up to a level that is in excess of the current 'living wage' ...
if you were selcted for certain training and successfully completed it and the probationary period you got not quite a pound an hour more ...
team leaders were on 8 something an hour and generally promoted from within ...
picking rates were reasonable
scan /check and sort rates were reasonable and team leaders / supervisors were responsive to the level of work going through the scan stations
loading and unloading rates were reasonably easy to exceed to account for some of the more difficult loads
goods in processing rates / Qa inspection rates were eminently achievable
people got their breaks by and large on time
there weren;t petty warnings and fines for stupid things ...
