Police investigate Happy Brexit Day poster telling council tenants to speak English or leave country [View all]
Police are investigating a Brexit poster which demands people living in council flats speak English or move out.
A photograph of the notice, which was headed “Happy Brexit Day”, was shared widely on Twitter after it was spotted by a resident of the building in Norwich on Friday morning.
A typed A4 sheet of paper was placed on a fire door in Winchester Tower, a block of 95 flats owned by Norwich City Council, on the day the UK left the EU.

Oh look...bigots and xenophobes have been emboldened by Brexit. Our fundamental values under attack. This is just the start of a torrid period I fear.
