Staggering. I was in a car spray paint suppliers a few months ago and they were saying that they had to ask their supplier of spray guns not to supply green or blue ones. If they were green, the 'huns' wouldn't buy them and if they were blue the 'tims' wouldn't!
Years ago I had a guy from Liverpool staying for the weekend. On the Sunday we went for a walk up the cycle track and as you get to the next village, painted on the path was "No Tims. Turn back or die" !! When I explained what this was about he could hardly believe it, he had no idea such attitudes existed outside of Ireland.
I used to stay in a flat and there were six flats in the close, two on each floor. A guy on the top landing was a painter and decorator and suggested we paint the close, smarten it up. He bought the paint, a very deep emerald green for the bottom and a very pale off-white green for the top half. It looked nice. Three of us painted the whole close, three floors and everyone was happy. Except a cantankerous old bigot who lived opposite the guy who's idea it had been. He went out with white gloss paint and painted over the section of wall next to his house!
These people are f****** retarded! There is no nice way to say it.
