Police launch hate crime probe after Polish community centre is vandalised with graffiti saying 'f*** off' in wake of Brexit vote

This is an article from the Daily Mail written by Hugo Gye about suspected hate crime in a Polish community following the recent decision to leave the E.U.

I chose this article because it firstly is extremely contextually relevant as it is about the recent Brexit vote to which Britain left the E.U.

Graffiti which appeared this morning of the 26th of June after Thursday's referendum.

Locals said that it was the first time in its 60-year history that the centre had hit by vandalism - and some linked the incident to the aftermath of the divisive referendum. This follows as a large part of the 'Leave' campaign was the promise to 'make Britain great again' by 'taking control' and tightening immigration. Despite the 'Leave' campaign giving no clear figures and solutions to the so called 'issue' of immigration and outcome that can be certain is the growing prejudice around those who have immigrated here from other countries, despite most of their occupation in the country being completely legal.

This is a good caste study for representation of both issues and events regarding the issue of racism and the even t of the E.U referendum.
