THE slow response by police to racist graffiti in Manchester is “not in the least bit surprising,” a refugee rights activist in the city told the Morning Star today.

Dr Rhetta Moran, chair of the trustees at Refugee and Asylum Seeker Participatory Action Research, said the “No Blacks” graffiti daubed on a family home in Salford earlier this month was “very disturbing.”

However she warned that “the situation is a long-standing problem.”
