Readers will remember that I blogged on the sexist Tory councillor in Nottingham who put up a calender with pictures of naked women in his council office.
Well now I’ve just been told of THIS racist behaviour by Tory councillor Bob Allen in Bolton, who been using his blog (which is now nowhere to be seen) to put a picture of a gorilla next to a picture of an Asian Labour Party opponent.

So now we’ve seen what many Tories are really like. Modernised? They have barely begun the process while they have people like standing for election. If this is the kind of thing they do in public, just think about what they say in private.
Councillor Allen’s blog is ironically called “Tell It To Me Like It Is.” Here’s my straight talking advice: do the decent thing and resign. The people of Bolton deserve better than this offensive behaviour.
Racism is defined in the Concise Oxford dictionary as, briefly, the belief that one race is superior to another. What’s wrong with this belief, as long as it doesn’t lead to unacceptable treatment of allegedly “inferior” races? I believe that dogs are intellectually inferior to humans, but I wouldn’t dream of mistreating a dog.
Jews get far more Nobel Prizes per head of population compared to some other races. Are we supposed to pretend this statistic doesn’t exist?
