Row D Seat 7 0 Posted July 8, 2016 Proud that the county has raised so much money for the shop owners. Over £17k when I looked. Fantastic! Hope they can now rebuild and do better business than ever. The shop owners have every right to be here. What''s with all the rallies though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted July 8, 2016 If it is a racist attack that is extremely sad; unfortunately the eu exit vote does seem to have - clearly very wrongly, most ''leavers'' will be as saddened as everyone else - given some scummy elements the impression that it is ok.

Lord Horn (again) 131 Posted July 8, 2016 Well done to all those that have contributed to this and anyone who stands up to this prejudiced thuggery. We are better than that in Norwich and thankfully we can stand up for all those who form part of our wonderful diverse community! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
