My comments were about the referendum and Brexit campaign to which the racist element attached themselves (I doubt there are many racists who voted remain) and following on from the referendum, an increase in racist incidents are being reported through the country. This is picked up by the media and "linked" to the Brexit voters by association which has done the campaign and majority of voters a disservice..
When over 70% of 64 million people vote for one of two options, you can be assured that there are racists on one side. However was it significant, I say no. The media always looks for extremes and their has been some very irresponsible reporting post election. Yesterday I heard Adrian Durham reporting that he had heard that a Polish person had been asked 'when they would pack their bags'. Whilst this is deplorable, to report on a single anecdotal incident potentially spreads further hate and division.
