A letter containing vile racist imagery and language and sealed in plastic bag has been found on a street leaving residents “deeply saddened.”
The message contained three uses of the N word and claimed the area was a no n*****r zone.
It was found in Aberdeen, Scotland near student accommodation, making false claims about City Council policy.
The poster stated Aberdeen to be a no n*****r zone, and suggested that they wanted to see all n******s making their way to the airport.
It also stated residents should ask Aberdeen City Council about the 'no n*****r zone policy.'
