The Board of Deputies has said it is “alarmed” by reports of racist abuse following the European Union referendum result.

A Polish cultural centre in west London was daubed with racist graffiti over the weekend in an attack thought to be linked to the Brexit vote.

The incident came as Cambridgeshire police were investigating reports of laminated cards being distributed in Huntingdon on Friday urging “Polish vermin” to leave the UK.

The Board said it would be writing to the Polish ambassador today to express solidarity.
