A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.
The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

Hmm. Not quite horrific enough.

"I'd never thought of doing that before" might not be the reaction they wanted

Apparently people training to operate the Great Firewall of China are told why Tiananmen Square is a bit touchy. For some it's the first time they've heard about it
