Just went into King’s Lynn and noticed one of the new Market Traders is ‘proudly’ wearing his English Defence League hoodie whilst serving customers.
Quite apart from the fact that I fail to see how alienating half of your possible customer base in a town with lots of EU migrants seems a bit stupid, I’m mostly disappointed that the local council seem unwilling to address what must be a very bad message it says to visitors as we enter the tourist season.
Even tweeting the Council seems to be met by a brick wall at the moment:
— have a follow of the conversation to see where it (doesn’t) go…
it appears Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk are perfectly happy for EDL to be the “face” of King’s Lynn to our visitors…
So annoyed I nearly put this in the Bike Forum by mistake 🙁
