The writers behind last night’s EastEnders episode have been forced to defend themselves after being labelled ‘anti-Brexit’ by fans of the show.
During the episode, residents of Walford graffitied the message “Poles Go Home” on the Queen Vic following a Polish-themed night at the pub.
One of the writers, Leo Richardson, defended the show on Twitter, responding to those attacking the episode for not being apolitical.
Last month, EastEnders bosses were forced to defend themselves after viewers pointed out similarities between a bus driver crash on the show and the devastating terror attack in Berlin.
