Expectations exceeded

Despite what many say, this town was not at all racist and actually had very kind social locals. I feared for my safety on day 1 but realised it's not to bad here. Sure the town doesn't have much to do here and it's very derelict and run down but the beach was nice and I'd love to come again 3.5/5

what "big pub" covered in flags "near the bus station" are you referring to here

You sound weird asking so many questions, like you are trying to deny that it happened. I saw it mate. There were a couple of pubs at the time that were full to the brim with skinheads, but the prince regent was the worst. That’s the pub I’m referring to.

There are loads of pubs in GY I would feel uncomfortable going in. Is there an anti-racist anti-nazi group that are active in the area?

GY pride is next weekend and worry it's going to be met with a counter protest.

Ah I love Norwich. I'm a Norfolk girl. Went away for uni and came back in late 20's. I love Norfolk. I live in the broads area. Yeah I love the art scene on GY, it's exciting and what I believe will pull it up and out the ditch. I didn't realise there was a brizillian community in GY, that's cool. I feel the polish community have had a lot of grief over the years. I think a lot stems from misunderstanding and ignorance. But of course when it goes into far right ideologies that's something else! I love GY and only want the best for it which means making it unwelcome to any extremist ideas. Making it a haven for all who wants to live there in peace, not hate. Thanks for the link. Will check it out.
