It was an A5 piece of paper stuck to an advertising hoarding at a bus stop near a park.

Plenty of time for them to riot and I want it to be for something substantive like the cheating mayor taken into custody or the election declared null and void or even Old Bill going in hard with baton and riot shield not for some arsehole who knows how to print off a bit of A5 paper and stick it on a bus stop....

There appears to be so many people just waiting to have a go at Muslims and Islam at the moment, that many have lost any ability to use balance and common sense. The internet is a powerful tool which is often abused by trolls and others to wind others up, and the lazy media are waiting in the wings to quote Facebook, Twitter and Youtube etc, without any attempt at clarifying the authenticity of a 'story'.
