A leaflet issued by a neighbourhood watch group in the Redland area of Bristol and headed "Message from Redland Police", warns people in the area to dial the police if they notice black people in the area. The leaflet advises residents to contact the police if they see Afro Caribbeans "aimlessly wandering around looking at houses" or "knocking on doors". It concludes "In fact if you feel uneasy about the way either one or a group of Afro Caribbeans are behaving dial 999 immediately."

Our work is only possible with your support.
