The Polish Social and Cultural Centre in Hammersmith suffered racist graffiti on Sunday. Within 24 hours the centre was inundated by flowers and messages of goodwill from local residents.
Meanwhile the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan used Facebook to spread his message about racism. On Friday he said, "I want to send a clear message to every European resident living in London - you are very welcome here. As a city, we are grateful for the enormous contribution you make and that will not change as a result of this referendum."

- How do you think the Polish people felt when they saw the flowers?
- Why did the mayor of London make that statement? What does he want people in London to do?
- How do we stop racism in our own community?
- What do we say in our school, about people who speak a different language or who come from a different country, or people who are different in any way?
- If you hear someone making racist comments, they don't understand about No Outsiders. What can you do to help them?
- Why is what we say about No Outsiders so important?
