Homefinders, who have barred black and chinese people from applying, are sent "greetings"
Activists with the anti racism network in the north were last week circulating an email encouraging people to "share their feelings" with Mary Lloyd, Managing Director of Homefinders Belfast, the racist estate agency that barred black, chinese and other minority ethnic families from applying for homes. The email initiative came after Homefinders threatened to take a court order out against the ARN for picketing their offices last week. The message reads; Sent: 09 December 2004 15:27
To: antiracism@burngreave.net
Subject: [Antiracism] Homefinders: make them pay for their racism
Please pass this message on:
Get in touch with Mary Lloyd, managing director of Homefinders Belfast, by phone, fax, and email.
Homefinders have barred people from Chinese, African and other minority ethnic communities from applying for homes.
Share with Ms Mary Lloyd your concern at the company's racist , illegal and immoral bar. And wish her a happy christmas, if you so wish;
May I recommend the "perma-fax" (tm) devised by the pat finucane centre. You need an old fashioned fax machine, 3 or 4 sheets of a4 paper and some sellotape.
Using the minumum of sellotape on the back (a la blue peter), stick the sheets of a4 together in a single file. Write your greeting on the front. Feed your message into the fax machine and dial the number. When the beginning of the message has fed through the machine sufficiently to do so, get another piece of sellotape and stick the beginning of the message to the end of the message before it disappears into the machine. Thus you have one single, circular and perpetual message repeating itself over and over, jamming their machine and using up their fax paper. It also makes sure the message gets through!
Send your Christmas greetings to:
Ms Mary Lloyd

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I endorse human rights at all times.
However, I must report my set of circumstances in letting a house near a school, railway station and Church in Dublin.
I have bad health but also have lived in several countries including Zimbabwe in let premises. Aware of being an immigrant in another country, I made the conscious decision to appoint an estate agent.
Aware that estate agents in Dublin accommodated people from other countries on behalf of the Local Authorities in Ireland, I asked for this option.
The outcome was abuse. The first non national family agreed to the lease, stayed one night and then left.......this happened again and then the third family having accepted all got my home phone number and verbally insulted me about the house. I admit that my response was to ask them to vacate and I explained my experience of letting.
In all damage was sustained to furnishings and the outcome was that in Castleknock in Dublin, I was without rent for seven months.....Nobody here stands accountable for estate agents performance......I have to take the loss.
I had considered the letting of the house and because it was within 10 minutes walk of the school and near the station that I made it available.
I submit this so that people are aware that contracts go both ways and that Estate Agents must be held accountable.

keep your nose out of other Country's' affairs!
A very good article on Racism on the Island of Ireland.
This major scurge and ignorance will have to be taught in our schools early to enhance respect.
Mr. Fogy or Ms. What other country are you talking about? This whole island is my country.
Now a simple lesson for you. London is the Capital of England and Derry is Derry.
To little narrow bigoted idiots like you, probably with relations in East Belfast, to you Mandela is some kind of a Ceasar Salad but Mandela is known globally as a Fighter for Freedom so if you are talking about other countries Fogy, is it China, Seria, Iran or maybe where all you lot go i.e. Canada. Canada the place where Rhonda and Sammy are exiled to (Romeo and Juliet - you know, the planters fashion).
Now Fogy, other countries - Are you having a laugh. Now go tonight and learn the song - The Foggy Dew and you still no doubt would not have a clue what I am talking about.
Michelle spoke common sense in her article and in case you did not get the memo - 95% of Irish people are totally anti-racist, you little bigot.
