On a different and serious point - I had to listen for years to this idea England is a tolerant open country. No/little racism etc. What with the referendum having exposed the deep-rooted immigrant-hating attitutdes of middle England, and the hate crimes and abuse seen in recent days, this has surely dispelled the 'tolerant' notion from being used for quite some time.

Cameron deserves credit for raising this yesterday, but how the country goes about changing its inward-looking attitude and hence the underlying racism prevalent in recent days, weeks and months is another thing altogether.
