This is disgusting but bullying and racist abuse has been going on on twitter for years. Twitter need to stamp on this stuff quicker than do.
Did you also look for any where people are being nice to non-English citizens, just for balance?
It's easy to dig up negative things, the Daily Mail do it all the time.

Also how do you know the abusers are even English?

Guys, mind the langage... Mr spider, I agree with signature... baiting before went too far. I'll temporarily close the thread if necessary, I'm about to chill out with a bbq, friends and a whole load of beer and good rioja.... please don't descend into chaos!

You're suggesting we have a day to celebrate the most divisive event in the UK in living memory? Possibly since the civil war? Perhaps that might be seen by some as just a tad tasteless. But then you're a Katie Hopkins fan, so obviously you don't give a flying &^%*about taste, decency or tact.

Temper , temper.

The French celebrate Bastille day.

You're like a playground bully who goes after the kids with glasses.

I really fear for this country

I think perhaps you are a bit confused.

You just said you thought the rise of the National Front in France was a good thing

Grow up, you and everyone else can see I never said that.

Don't try and twist 'respect for standing up for their rights' into supporting the NF.

This country was here a long time before you or even I.
In concise terms, why do you fear for this country ?

May I recommend 27 others that you should suit you?

You responded "I am". Perhaps you meant something else

Because it is being taken over by the far right. Because it has come to reject intellectuals. Because it is an increasingly intolerant and racist place. Because it is more divided than ever before.

It is as much my country as yours. Suggesting those who disagree with you should leave is fascism, old boy

I wonder if Scotland will emerge as a place for people to take refuge if they somehow manage to engineer a way to stay in the EU? If they went down the Irish path of offering citizenship to people able to prove a second generation connection, I imagine there might be something of a stampede...

I'm eligible for Irish citizenship. Trouble is I'm not sure it will help much. There is now considerable risk of a domino effect and the end of the EU as we know it

I think by the time the EU has finished raking the UK over the coals, nobody else will dare to leave. There seems to be a general murmur in that direction vs focusing primarily on rebuilding
the UK-EU trade relationship.

And hardly surprising, because breaking up a trading block of 430 million will cause far, far more economic damage to the EU component countries than losing a bit of UK trade.

A good summary of what's likely to happen next...

Now is OUR chance to leave too: Voters in Sweden, Denmark and Greece demand their say on 'broken' Europe but Austria and Germany are devastated

Think things through man, think things through.

If they punish us they punish themselves, have you not watched as the bone heads tried to punish Russia over the last 24 months. They've ended up crushing the EU's own milk and meat prices as Russia slapped them back. Russia then grew their own agriculture products and made friends all over the world who tried to sell them stuff to take the EU's place.

If they take on Britain in such a way, they'll crash the German and French car manufacturing and that's just one part. Then the Germans and French will want to leave the EU.

They make it easy for us to leave - it's over. They make it hard for us to leave - it's over.

Whatever they do the EU is OVERRRRRRRRRRRRR.

OK I just did some quick research on the user accounts of these imbeciles and at least 3 of them are American, which of course no less worse than if they were English but these people are racists full stop. They are using Brexit as a vehicle for their abuse but I think implying it is the cause of their abuse is a bit out of order.
