'Happy Brexit Day' poster telling people to speak English reported to police
Sky News ^ | 2/2/20 | Sky News

Posted on 02/02/2020 4:52:13 AM PST by hoagy62

A "Happy Brexit Day" poster telling residents of a block of flats "we do not tolerate" people speaking other languages has been reported to the police.

Copies of the sign were reportedly found stuck to fire doors on all 15 floors of Winchester Tower in Norwich on Friday morning.

The discovery came hours before the UK officially left the European Union at 11pm on Friday.

A photo of the poster, which was shared on social media, shows that it reads: "As we finally have our great country back we feel there is one that needs to be made clear to Winchester Tower residents.

"We do not tolerate people speaking other languages than English in the flats.

"We are now our own country again and the Queens (sic) English is the spoken tongue here."

The sign continues: "If you want to speak whatever is the mother tongue of the country you came from then we suggest you return to that place and return your flat to the council."

Oh my, after 20 years of pearl clutching they finally found a white nationalist. Unless of course it once again is faked news.

I read it three times and the grammar and syntax look correct to me.

Problem?

Likely not faked. This came to me from a friend in high school who married an Englishman and follows English news.

That’s what I was thinking. False flag, like a noose on a Black Studies professor’s door.

Of course signs demanding that people *not* speak English would have been just fine

If you want to speak whatever is the mother tongue of the country you came from then we suggest you return to that place and return your flat to the council.>>>>>>>

Typical . The Brits always have a way of over reaching like they did with America in 1770 or so.

Just make it a policy to make sure no government money is spent on creating institutions that preserve immigrant languages. Is a government supplied flat within that rubric?

But freedom of speech is a basic human right. Freedom of demographic warfare by immigrants is not.

You do you, and I’ll be nice until I die, which I can’t see how that hurts you.

Same thing should be done to our welfare paperwork. Ever seen how many languages are printed on the envelope? Sheer nonsense.

Virtue signalers always hurt the pro America cause. You define passive aggressive behavior. You don't fool me one bit.
