Someone told me the safety pin idea was to make immigrants feel welcome?? Why should we? Do other countries go out of their way to make Brits feel welcome if we emigrate? No. When I emigrated to Canada in the 70s no one laid out a red carpet or wore a safety pin (at least not that I'm aware of)...
Have to agree with you on this. You can add all the crap about changing your Facebook profile to a french flag after the shootings in Paris - what a load of nonsense.
