Rejected petition Define BREXIT Migrant policy to defuse racist attacks on EU & Non-EU Migrants
Since BREXIT there's been a significant number of incidents reported of people using "we voted out" in racist attacks on both EU AND non-EU migrants, and British Citizens of non-white ethnicity. We, the undersigned, want OFFICIAL migrant rights policy communicated, to defuse this behaviour.

Many incidents reported, as follows:

There is plenty more evidence on Facebook and Twitter of personally reported incidents of British Citizens, EU & Non-EU Migrants suffering racist abuse, from people who clearly do not know what the Leave vote means for these people.
