Safe as houses: red door, repainted door, arson attack door, Friday 20 May 2016

Asylum seekers living in the north east of England report that they have suffered racist abuse, thanks to their landlord making them an easy target by painting their door red.

Their landlord is Stuart Monk, owner of Jomast, one of Teesside’s most powerful companies, a company which earned the Monk family £175 million last year. Jomast is the sole sub-contractor for G4S in the North East of England. G4S was given part of the Home Office £620m UK wide COMPASS asylum housing contract in 2012.
