Kids going to school in London's East End are being treated to hate posters near their school, declaring "Gay Free zone". Charming!
We assume it's the work of Islamic extremists, because the posters add, "Allah is severe in punishment".
"They appeared across Whitechapel and Spitalfields at the weekend—some even believed to be targeted at school children," says the East London Advertiser, linked to above.
"Most have now been have torn down by a community writer and activist who has had to keep his identity secret because of previous death threats."

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
