A man whose community was rocked by disgusting racist graffiti has offered to sit down for a chat with the culprit to find out what motivated the hateful behaviour. Martin Andrews posted on Instagram when he first saw that a mural to Port Talbot's Caribbean elders had been defaced, and offered to meet in private with the people behind the graffiti.
The mural paid tribute to Donna Campbell, a much-loved nurse and daughter of the Windrush generation who passed away during the pandemic, and her mother Lydia - known as Mrs Campbell in her community. Along with a merged image of a Welsh dragon and the Jamaican flag, the mural was only up for a matter of hours before it was defiled with a swastika, a racial slur and neo-Nazi language.
But Martin now wants to sit down for some food and drink with whoever did it. He said: "As a Caribbean black community it was a really important mural for us.
