He's just been interviewed on Channel 4 News, comes across as a decent guy.

Farage was also on Channel 4 News and unlike yesterday condemned the attacks but said the abuse is on both sides and it's got nothing to do with the vote. He's scum.

Fascism arrives as your friend.

Farage and his ilk have a lot to answer for. I sincerely hope that one day they have to.

According to the local paper, a man born and brought up in my neighbourhood was racially verbally abused on the street round the corner from where I live.

"Racist incident" reported between parents reported at the school attached to our daughter's nursery. In cosmopolitan, pleased-with-itself east London.

Stories of abuse and a knife left on the doorstep of a refugee family in East Cardiff.

A Belgian shopworker was telling me how upset she was about the vote yesterday. The Friday morning a shop customer told her how delighted he was about the vote as now 'they can all be sent back'.

Yep. Leave voters weren't racist at all.

I've not heard of any "racist incidents" here in dee-dah land per se, but I have heard of people feeling increasingly uneasy, with people being given "the look" etc.

And we've got our own share of knuckle-draggers, so it won't surprise me if we hear anything.

All very worrying.

Swedish woman in York told to "fuck off back to your own country"

That's York, former major Viking trading centre with the highest percentage of inhabitants with Scandinavian DNA in the UK outside of Scotland.

On the one hand, we shouldn't get too bent out of shape over this. The actual rise in incidents is very low. There has been widespread condemnation of the incidents and several people are stepping up to try and sort it out.

The plus points are:
- this is being firmly linked to the Leave vote, which is probably making some people think again about the Leave vote and the kind of people they have sided with.
- when racists vocalise their racism that makes them easier to identify and act against.

Neither of those are any comfort to individuals who have been abused of course. They need our care and support.

I think quite a few middle class people have been shocked by how quickly the racism bubbles up and out when it is legitimised. People who genuinely thought the referendum was about sovereignty are starting to see beyond that to more important issues.

I think it's pretty terrifying. What happens when they realise they've been conned?

I would never, ever get tired of kicking that face.

Yes, yes, I know. Violence is never the answer.

Apart from all those times when it definitely is.

Freedland cites a 500 percent increase in reports of hate crimes.

That's appalling, and I fear that immigrants will only suffer more when the racists realise that they have been conned.
