Dear Webmaster

Like many other Surbiton residents, I turn to Surbiton.Com as a forum for information and intelligence on life in our home town. But depressingly often all I find is a stream of rants from ignorant racists.

Someone innocently enquires about the best restaurants. The reply? A twisted diatribe about Surbiton no longer being an 'English town'. Another person asks about safety. The response? A litany of rubbish about a 'black scourge'.

While I am totally for free speech, I am absolutely appalled by the sheer number of racist remarks.
