'Local Jobs For Local People' Posters Condemned
Poster that have appeared in South and East Belfast, calling for local jobs for local workers, have been condemned as racist.
Alliance South Belfast MLA, Anna Lo, has expressed her disgust at the posters, saying: "I am appalled by these posters. They are giving out misinformation at a time when ethnic minorities' concerns are already heightened following recent racist attacks. Racism has no place in our society.
"It is deeply worrying that these posters have appeared in parts of Belfast. There is no indication of who produced them, but I would like to tell whoever is responsible that their messages of hatred are not wanted.
"These posters are actually damaging our community. They must be immediately taken down. I would call on those responsible to stop their activities and not to put up anymore posters. If anybody has any information about these posters then I would urge them to contact the Police."
