Ford condemns racist slur on Alliance candidate1.00.00pm GMT Fri 22nd Dec 2006 Alliance Leader David Ford has condemned racist abuse of South Belfast candidate Anna Lo on Nazi network website. The racist comments were made after an article about Anna Lo's selection as an Alliance candidate were David Ford said: "This despicable act illustrates a very nasty streak of racism and must be strongly condemned. "The overwhelmingly warm response received following the announcement of Anna Lo as Alliance candidate for South Belfast is much more representative of local people. Anna is seen both as a very strong candidate in her own right and as a symbol of movement towards an integrated society. "As a community, we must sent the strongest possible message to these thugs - they have no place in this society. Alliance has stood up against sectarianism for thirty years and we will also stand up against racism and any other form of discrimination. "We are referring this matter to the police."
