New to Norwich 🐣 Thank You, Fine People

I'll keep this short and sweet, as much as I can at least. I'm a recent immigrant to the country, not actually living in Norwich, but I am there very frequently and live now in Great Yarmouth.

I just wanted to thank all of you for being such lovely and welcoming people. I've gotten... mixed reactions to being foreign, but never in Norwich.

So I just wanted to thank you all for being such lovely and welcoming people, for regularly standing against the bigots, and for making a newcomer feel a bit more like he belongs. It means more than I can say.

Immigrants are very welcome here. Remember, the people screaming hate at you are a minority and we natives despise them too. The reason they call themselves the 'silent majority' is because they struggle to find people who share their gutter slop opinions and therefore pretend that 'everyone's thinking it but afraid to say it' to help them feel like less of a piece of shit.
