A Wetherspoon's customer was shocked to find a racist Lord Kitchener-style poster on display on his local's noticeboard which told Muslims to 'get the f*** out of our countries.'
The hate-filled sign had been put on display earlier this week on the family pub's noticeboard in Feltham, Middlesex, without the knowledge of staff.
The 28-year-old said: 'I was absolutely disturbed to see this vile poster on display in my local pub, let alone in the biggest pub chain in the UK.'
'I only popped in for lunch which a friend from work who happened to be a Muslim, but we were so upset by it we were forced to leave.
'It is disgraceful that J.D. Wetherspoon pubs are allowing this anti-Muslim propaganda to be displayed - I'd hate for any Muslim to think all British people are racists because of this.'
The customer said he visited the pub on August 20 at 1pm and immediately noticed the offensive poster.
He said: 'Just as we sat down inside the pub, I noticed the sign a few tables away from us.
'My friend, who is a Muslim, didn't say anything but I could see he was highly uncomfortable.
A spokesperson for the pub chain apologised for the racist poster.
In a statement they said: 'A poster was displayed on the notice board at The Moon on the Square, by a customer at the pub, without the knowledge of the pub staff.
'As soon as this came to light, staff immediately removed the discriminatory material.
'The customer notice board, which is regularly checked and monitored by staff, has now been completely cleared of all material, whatever the content.
'The Moon on the Square is a community pub, proud of its diverse customer base, and has always been fully committed to operating in a non-discriminatory way.'
That is not racist, it's basically what everyone in Italy thinks. Why would we change our laws for the extremists who live here, when their countries would never change their laws for us?

is that really true or conservative propaganda?
i read stuff about the UK and they said their conservative media and politicians always push this idea that muslims are trying to bring sharia law, but no one really cares

Generalizing a whole religious following and basically telling the to **** off is discrimination, bye

people definitely care (not so much young people but a large number of voters). ukip and the conservatives are getting most of the votes whereas more pro-immigration parties like the lib dems and labour are getting fewer votes. the right-wing media is definitely causing this.
The racism in the UK is pure trash and I can't wait for old people to die.
edit: to y'all saying "it's not a race", if you were living in the UK then you'd know damn right what they meant by this poster and it's undertones are pure racism.

that's true
my friend is mexican (brown skinned) and went to the UK and she said some people were rude/weird with her... then she found out it's because they thought she was indian and they hate "pakis"
charli xcx said the same thing about people being rude to her mom

It's not racism for people to want to protect their culture and way of life and to keep Britain British, as much as Tumblr and the media might want to tell you that multiculturalism is great
How is it racist? It's saying Muslims *who don't like the country* should go back to whence they came. And honestly, why would people who immigrate to a country have the right to complain and bomb it?

sounds just like ted cruz and his "christian persecution" claims in response to gays getting rights
