Racist torch foreign owned shop
The police in Northamptonshire believe that hard core racists are behind a string of arson attacks leveled at a Polish Deli. Dectives working on the case believe that the attack was deliberate and are linking this crime with a similar incident just before Christmas at the same shop.
The owner, Slawomir Mordon, stated, he would have to close his business for at least ‘six or seven months’. He said,
‘I have no evidence but there are two situations and it cannot be coincidence. This time the arsonists did it just after a delivery so all the stock was inside the shop and I have now lost all my stock. I threw out everything after last time. I had to bin everything and this time it looks even worse, so I don’t think anything will be able to be saved’.
As we know racism comes in different forms including: race, colour, religion, or just ‘Johnny Foreigner’.
We at Operation Black Vote hope that Slawomir can find the strength to pick up the pieces of his burnt-out shop and start again. We also hope that the Northamptonshire police find the perpretrators sooner rather than later, before their third attack manes or kills someone.
