Was he suspended for being too left wing for the modern Conservative party?

Yeah - you can't even go to one black-shirt rally nowadays without someone throwing it back in your face years later. smile

You do know I didn't actually make him put on a uniform and go to the far-right rally he's alleged to have gone to don't you?

Hythe Tory councillor suspended over far-right links

Do you have more of a problem with people pointing out facist councillors than you do with facist councillors. Because that's the way your comment reads.

As a matter of interest does anyone know the source of that s like badge on his left arm? That’s a bit weird.

Otherwise he is a fat balding bloke in a black shirt. Not a look I recommend which is why I generally wear navy.

Whether he is an ex member of the NBU is largely for the birds. There are all sorts of politicians with an interesting voyage through the political spectrum.

There is no place for extremists in any mainstream political party. Right wing or left.

Suspension/ expulsion is the correct action, unfortunately it seems support for vile murderous political extremists is no longer a bar to high office.

"I knew who it would be posting the link to the story"

"But it's just a fat bloke in a black shirt with a slightly fascist looking logo on the arm we don't actually know what it was all about"

"Something about Labour"

Remarkable.

It’s the symbol of Mosley’s British Fascist Party.

Glad there’s nothing to see concerning a councillor being an open fascist though.

Perhaps his opinion has changed in the nine years that have passed?

Perhaps not. Who knows?

bhstewie starts a thread about the nasty Tories are fascists.

No one cares.

bhstewie is surprised.

Must be a y in the day.

If that's your take on it then you appear to have serious comprehension issues. I don't see a single person defending this idiot, let alone "lots".

Or is it classed as "defending" if it's anything short of having a screaming rant about how awful he is?

I can see people saying how right-wing they think the Tories are, people laughing that it's Stewie that posted it, and people moaning that people are laughing that it's Stewie that posted it.

Oh, and you, Zedders, and Stewie trying to paint everyone on PH as some sort of Nazi, which is your usual MO. I dont think I've ever seen Stewie post anwhere but NPE, which is just weird for a motoring forum. There are plenty of other political message boards out there with actual nasty, extreme right-wing views that he can go and battle on, but he chooses this one. Just odd.

When you see someone in a black shirt with an arm badge allegedly at a fascist rally and your first instinct is to have a go at the person who bought it to your attention I think it says more about your own standards than it does anything else.

Each to their own though.

Christ I bet Stewie couldn't switch to the ever-open NPE tab fast enough when he found the story.

So you didn’t see this then? Or are you struggling with comprehension:

Go on then. I’ll hold you to the same standards. Let’s see when any of us have done this?

It seems a reasonable comparison, doesn’t it? Both parties appear to accept utterly vile extremists, one allows them to become leader and his deputy.

The other expels a local councillor.

All extremists should be driven from mainstream politics, left or right. Anyone espousing extremism should be punished, if they are waving Mein Kampf or a little red book, the results should be the same.
