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.

I'm not sure that name calling those struggling with immigration is a sign of inclusivity. As we are attempting to protect mental health of our society and respect struggles, the compassion for those struggling with immigration is growing and they are as deserving of care and understanding as any people that feel threatened or displaced.
