A 'Happy Brexit Day' flyer demanding neighbours speak English is reported as a hate crime in NorwichA "Happy Brexit Day" poster telling residents in a Norwich tower block that we do not tolerate people speaking languages other than English in the building has been reported to the police.
The note tells residents of Winchester Tower that only the Queens [sic] English is to be spoken in the block, and tells non-British people to evolve, obey the majority, or leave.
Residents who wish to speak languages other than English are told to return to their native countries so that British people can return to what was normality before you infected this once great island.
Copies of the anonymous note, posted just before the UK left the EU at 11pm on 31 January, were reportedly found stuck to the fire doors on each of the 15 storeys of Winchester Tower in Norwich on Friday morning.

The grammatical errors and abuse of punctuation in the "poster" speak for itself.
Amusing though it may be on that level, on every other level it is sad.
