    Type EU window sticker into google and the first page results returned are pretty much all “vote leave”, 🙁

    Like I said, you wion’t get pro-leave supporters adopting the EU flag, and Remain supporters using it as a symbol will just be seen as ‘bad losers’ still harping on.

    How about EU colours but a yellow heart on a blue background?

    Or the EU flag but with multicoloured stars (or hearts)?

    IANAGD so no idea how hideous they’d look, but someone could knock up easily?

    I honestly thought, is this a country I want to live in?

    And if I felt that, how much more intense is that feeling if you’re from further afield right now?

    I was not in work last week (took a week off), but apparently a colleague, who is from Ireland came into work on Friday really upset & annoyed talking about whether he & his Fiancée will stay in England, given the result of the vote & that he felt like ‘we didn’t want him here’.
    I think he is seriously considering moving back to Ireland as he doesn’t want to live in a place that he feels where people don’t want him here.

    OP certainly a sad day when this happens. The official campaign tag line was “Europe Yes. EU No”

    The trouble is that the small (is it really?) % of racist dicks now believe they are in the majority and have a mandate to behave like this,

    I made exactly rhis comment about anti-semites when Corbyn was elected. When the leader says Hamas and Hezbollah are “friends” these people fell empowered. In both cases we have act to put these people in their place which is in front of a judge

    Jamba still nabning on about comments corbyn made years ago

    but happily dismisses the hijack of the VL by the BNP and other fascists in Yorkshire, up to the point where Joe Cox was murdered by someone inspired by the VL rhetoric

    Spoke to the boss of our local Turkish barbers yesterday and told him that I was glad he was here – small things

    Cut the grass of my 80 year old FIL who voted OUT as a sign that I was only slightly pissed off!! 😉

    Forgot to say that I almost stopped when he said that he enjoyed Farrage’s speech though 😉

    You could have stopped at 52% of the lawn. That’s still decisively cut, right? 😉

    I voted Remain and have been quite vociferous on here (and elsewhere), but I still don’t like a lot about the EU, so wouldn’t be keen!

    I wasn’t quick enough to think of that julian 😀

    +1 and sadly an issue for the whole referendum.

    It’s a bit negative but i think I’d prefer a “I hate xenophobes” message.

    It has to be the EU flag. That’s what this is about.

    They’ll be selling them off cheap soon…

    This all makes me very sad. I am genuinely ashamed to be English/British at the moment.

    All this hatred towards immigrants

    Farage’s display in the EU today

    I hope the rest of the EU remembers that there is at least 16M of us that didn’t want to leave.

    To those of us capable of rational thought maybe (though see caveats from me and THM, I’m certainly not displaying “I heart EU flag”!), the people causing the issue probably wouldn’t recognise one if it was wrapped round their neck

    I do wonder whether they’re trying to tell us something with the ordering of flags – there is France between Germany and Belgium. There is the UK next to Greece

    A really good article in todays Guardian by Aditya Chakrabortty, which pretty much sums up my feelings. I’m absolutely disgusted by the casual racism that has now been effectively legitimised by Boris and his motley assortment of right wing bigots

    After a campaign scarred by bigotry, its now ok to be racist in britain

    And I’m sorry Jammers, but people like you are the root of this problem. I’ve always disagreed with you on pretty much everything. But I’ve always found your opinions interesting, and I’ve never resorted to insulting you. . But I am absolutely appalled that you complain about anti-semitism, yet in the next breath act as a cheerleader for an organisation, and campaign, that has used an insidious racism as a central plank of its campaign. The goal: to divide society, and by implication suggested that all our societies woes are the fault of outsiders. People from different cultures who don’t belong here, and need to be ‘sent home’. To suggest simple (racist) solutions to complex problems. And in doing so legitimise hatred, and inevitably violence against minorities.

    If you can’t see where casually unleashing these kind of forces, with what is essentially now a state sanction , leads, then you need to look at your history a bit closer. I’m sorry, but your hypocrisy absolutely appalls me.

    But as the article above concludes…

    The leave politicians have, as Mughal says, “opened up a Pandora’s box” of resentment and suspicion. The consequences won’t be faced by old Etonians or stripy-blazered Ukippers. They’ll descend on a grandad heading home from Friday prayers, or a Romanian mum caught on a bus speaking her mother tongue.

    This is what your friends have legitimised

    Or even a 47 year old white man, who curtails his phone conversation on this subject as he walks past a group of tattooed scaffolders because the fear is there for all of us now.

    That’s what it’s done. Already. And we haven’t even started the process yet.

    Copa, ref your post over the page where you’re not aware of any Scottish/Irish nationalism pushing intolerance. You were obviously sleeping during the Scottish referendum campaign. The bile& filth aimed at my Mrs (who is from down south) by pro independence supporters (inc former friends) had made me damn sure I’ll never support the SNP.

    Indeed. There are people who until recently were on the fringes of society. because their opinions were – rightly – rejected by a civilised society. But these people have had their opinions endorsed by the very people who will shortly be taking over the running of the country. The feelings they expressed, once rejected, have been accepted at the very top of our society, because it briefly suited their ends to harness and exploit the economic uncertainties that they themselves created.

    Those people who would have voted for Nick Grifin and the BNP now think they’ve a new home. With people who share their opinions. People at the top. So those opinions, so recently considered so vile… well… they’ll be spoken within the walls of number 10 soon, won’t they.

    Those people are walking taller today. While a lot of decent people, who hold totally opposing views, and find their beliefs – again rightly – utterly abhorrent – are feeling cowed by the triumphalism of racists, and the implicit threat of violence that generally entails

    I’m stunned by the positive vibe on this thread.

    Way to go folks!

    I’m disgusted by the racists. Besides the people who are here can apply for permenant residence if they have lived here for 5 years and pass some easy tests.

    @Rosey- your first post is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on STW, thanks!

    Loving the safety pin, I’ve always been a badges-on-jacket sort of dude but I love that it’s not a badge, it’s the place where a badge would be if it weren’t for the fact that you don’t have to wear a badge to show you’re a normal everyday not-a-****.
