A far-right nationalist group appears to be linked to a banner which was flown over Manchester City's stadium. Football fans spotted a sign which read "British to be minority by 2066" during Sunday's Premier League match against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.
People in the North West told the Manchester Evening News similar leaflets were posted through their letter boxes over the weekend, with messages such as: "White's [sic] to be a minority by the year 2066 or sooner". One woman, who is pregnant with a mixed-race baby, said the flyer had left her and her partner "disgusted".
A nationalist group named Patriotic Alternative claimed responsibility on Twitter for the flyers. The organisation said activists across the country had posted thousands of leaflets warning people of "mass immigration" and "falling white birth rates". The Manchester Evening News reports that no-one has yet claimed responsibility for the banner. You can get more great story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
