“F*CK YOU WHITE TWATS” was sprayed across the War Memorial at Broad Green in Wellingborough between Saturday night and Sunday morning. A string of similar incidents have also occurred at various locations across the town in recent days. The memorial lists the names of Wellingborough soldiers who died in the First and Second World Wars. A member of the public attempted to wash the graffiti off on Sunday, although it was still clearly visible and the Council removed the offending words on Monday.

Graffiti was also sprayed across a building in Kiln Way, on the Queensway estate in the town, on Saturday night and police believe the two incidents could be connected. Insp Vaughan Clarke, sector commander for Wellingborough, said: “We believe the recent incidents of offensive graffiti found in a number of locations were committed by the same person and are isolated incidents that took place on the same day. We are conducting inquiries to identify the offender and are working closely with the local authority to ensure that such graffiti is removed as soon as possible. Hate crime will not be tolerated by Northamptonshire Police.” Now seeing that the Police are treating this as a Hate Crime it makes me wonder why the local paper didn’t seek out any member of the Northamptonshire Racial Equality Council for comment. Had a similar incident happened outside a Mosque, Synagogue or Hindu temple Anjona Roy or Paul Crofts would have been fighting with each other to get their two-penneth in.
