WORDS cannot describe the disgust most people must feel about the racist graffiti on the home of our mayor, Dorothea Sultana de Maria.

I do not know the lady, but from press reports I see that despite poor health she has made a greater contribution to our town than most of us who are British-born.

Anybody who lived through the Second World War will recall Malta's great role in allied victory and be proud to have a Maltese mayor.

The graffiti appears to be written in excrement. If this is so did the police check for DNA and if any was found did they examine the national crime database?
