Police launch hate crime probe after A4-sized posters saying 'It's okay to be white' were plastered around Basingstoke
- Residents initially ripped down the posters, but more have since been erected
- Posters were placed along major roads and school routes in the Hampshire s
- The posters appeared in England for the first time in Bristol City Centre last year
The aim of the slogan it seems was to create a 'left-wing media backlash' in
response to a 'harmless message'.
Posters originally began being placed around American universities including
the University of Washington and University of California, as well as the
University of Regina in Canada.
However, similar posters appeared in Bristol city centre in January last year -
the first time they had appeared in England.
They did, though, appear in Scotland just a few months earlier.
Police Scotland received reports of the slogan appearing in Dundee in
September 2019, followed by Perth in December.
