County councillor suspended for comments about black people
Discussion
…. Who knows what is going on at various levels across the country, clearly the Tories don’t. Yet millions of people have created some farcical straw an argument that not voting Tory again will unleash the rapture….
The point is it’s not isolated incidents, it’s endemic throughout the party, I’d be so embarrassed to be associated with this current crop of Tory politicians…

Johnson and the ERG purged the Tory party of sensible politicians. The point is it’s not isolated incidents, it’s endemic throughout the party, I’d be so embarrassed to be associated with this current crop of Tory politicians…

Tory politician is investigated by party bosses over claims he said 'All white men should have a black man as a slave' and that black people are 'lower class than white people'
BS linking to the mail how the mighty have fallen Tory politician is investigated by party bosses over claims he said 'All white men should have a black man as a slave' and that black people are 'lower class than white people'
Seems he referred himself to the ombudsman, but yeah, guilty as charged eh BS...Lets get the lynching done quickly...or we could wait to see if the audio is actually real as there seems to be more than a little doubt.

Personally I take the view of gratitude, that these ppl are stupid enough to announce their views in public. This way we can deal with them accordingly.
There is no point having some paddy whack moral outrage that some ppl hold daft views because some ppl will always hold daft views. The bit that matters is handling them.

I don't write the headlines (it's on the BBC and Sky News too) I didn't make the decision to suspend him and presumably he could have very easily said "the voice in the recording isn't me".Seems he referred himself to the ombudsman, but yeah, guilty as charged eh BS...Lets get the lynching done quickly...or we could wait to see if the audio is actually real as there seems to be more than a little doubt.

THE COUNCILLOR accused of making racist comments in a private conversation – which was recorded and posted online may be the victim of a ‘deep fake’, The Herald can reveal.
Cllr Andrew Edwards says he does not recall ever saying those words – and analysis of the recording has shown inconsistencies which are in line with an audio file which has been digitally manipulated

You posted the piece with the headline 'the absolute state of this' so do not try and pretend you are just the messenger. It is clear as usual you are already mounted and ready to ride

Now I’m sure you can search for similar examples of people who should be nowhere near a position of power or influence within a political party but the Tories are the party in power at the moment and they are having a serious issue with ethics…
