JUST as we must do all we can to keep our children safe, so we must make every effort to stamp out another evil: racism.

Council tenant Tudor Carrington was jailed for 12 months for racially harassing shopkeeper Claude Wray. The racist thug beat Mr Wray with a pickaxe

handle as the shopkeeper's

terrified family looked on.

Carrington is now out of jail. But council tenancy enforcement officers have let him know his vicious behaviour has not been forgotten. If he ever targets Mr Wray or his family again he will lose his home, they have warned.

Good for them.
