This is Leicestershire

Police are investigating after youths set fire to an England flag at a pub and shouted racist abuse at the pub's manager.

Jan Roehrig, of The Black Boy, in Albion Street, Leicester, found the flag outside the pub was on fire as he closed up at 11.45pm on Sunday.

Mr Roehrig said: "It had been hanging above the door and was in flames. There was a group of Asian lads running off. They shouted racist abuse at me."

Police said they were investigating the damage and were also looking into the racist element of the incident.

    “So the british police are "looking into" and "investigating" eh? and so to bed... nice.
    WHAT I ASK would be the fate of ENGLISH lads burning a palestinian flag?
    "looking into" and "investigating"? Doubt it - more like a witch hunt then trial and gaol for "hate crimes"...
    What nice chaps they've let in - along with the other 7 million.
    Multiculturalism - NO THANK YOU !”

    “That's what you get when you open the doors for immigration. It's part of multi cultural-ism which is part of the NWO.”

    “Multiculturalism is not working in this Country and never will, as it's too one sided!!”
