There are so many reports of incidents of racism occuring here since Thursday that people are fearing for their lives.

That's it ... get it off your chest lass.
Just one thing puzzle me ...how on earth are you managing to link, and blame, Nigel Farage for the increase in xenophobic attacks since Thursday?
You should be cheering the chap. He's been advocating his own redundancy for years. Now, you can hardly accuse him of self-interest on that one.

This is a passionate subject, people will feel strongly and I have seen a couple sitting on your side of the fence, there are so many threads on the subject but I'm sure you recall,
they may not be 'friends' - does that matter ?
I'll quote, bare with me...

Oh that! You mean me.I stand by it. I wouldn't want to risk incurring the wrath of your friends. I wouldn't .. you're a popular lass around here.
So what do you think of my query over your claim that Farage incites xenophobia?

I agree with Patsy some people don't need much of an excuse
I've never said he is personally responsible for the attacks either but Brexit has sparked an increase in racist attacks.

And - during all of the hours I have watched him, he has only mentioned immigration 'once' in that EU arena
His focus has been on 'them' and the decision making, plus the financial side
And - they never come back at him, never dispute what he's saying - they should if they have a case, shouldn't they
The only time he gets feedback is when he insults one of them - ooo we can't have that - can we .........

Nigel Farage has been consistent in his views about the drawbacks of UK membership in the EU, which might have included uncontrolled immigration. That is true.
The question of , or concerns of a lot of people over Immigration and xenophobia are worlds apart.
Sadly, some people can not distinguish the difference.
