I was disgusted to find attached to the back (mirrored) wall of the lift in my block a badly hand-written notice proclaiming the expulsion of blacks and Irish from our country.

If the English Defence (defense) League (E.D.L.) wish to do anything with regard to their title they ought to sign up for regular military service and do as their title suggests and defend England rather than ostracise specific denominations for any reason.

Also, if anyone knows of the whereabouts of this message (it was removed within 25 minutes of my discovery) would they please contact the Estates Office, Southwark Housing at [email protected]

May be it is. Why didn't you just remove the note and tear it up and put it in the bin? Why post a photo of it on the internet nearly a week later? Why are you now trying to find the original note when you could have handed it to Southwark estate or the police yourself?

silverfox..... I wanted other residents to see the note.... I'm disappointed.

I went to the local shop ann on my return some 25 minutes later the note was gone!

As for the length of time, I couldn't do anything about the late posting as my account had lapsed due to inactivity therefore I couldn't post, added to that I have been unable to sit at my computer due to back problems.

A community police officer came to my address in order to see if anything could be done and suggested that it would have been a good idea to have the notice on order to do a forensic examination.

I'm only doing what I feel is necessary. I'm saddened by what's happened and will stress that the likes of my own father went to war against Nazi Germany in order to stamp out this sort of thing and it seems unfortunate that the enemy is within.

I will not remove this post.

Exactly my point.... I have been through the appropriate channels and I can see your point but it's like people complaining about specific content on the goggle-box, you have every right to change the channel!

    • What nonsense.  It's social mobility.  Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews.  Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in.   Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago.   "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism.  We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans.  Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians,  Glad that is behind us now.   Why do you have to make such toxic comments?  You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself.  Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.
    • I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland?  The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking.  Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical.  Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers.  in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.
    • The diaspora was largely forced out of the East End a long time ago. The historical antisemitism behind that that is repeating itself again now, very sadly.
