This Witch doesn't burn
|
A Conservative councillor has been suspended for tweeting offensive comments about Irish people during the Eurovision Song Contest.
Nick Harrington, who also sits as a magistrate, was clearly moved to anger after the Irish judges failed to vote for UK entry Lucie Jones. In his ire, he tweeted: "#Eurovision2017 thanks Ireland. You can keep your ********** gypsies! Hard border coming folks!" Unsurprisingly his comments drew angry calls to the police and Warwick District Council - as well as a slew of remarks on his Twitter feed. His Twitter account was deleted after the post, but not before it had been screen grabbed and shared across social media. Warwick District Council leader Andrew Mobbs suspended Mr Warrington for six months pending a full investigation. In a statement the council said: "We apologise unreservedly for the offence and upset that his comments have caused." Police are also investigating the tweet sent from the councillor's account after complaints from members of the public. Website Mobile App |

I noticed quite a few people being confused at the concept of 'impartial' judges (impartial in inverted commas because Cyprus and Greece need to think about what they've done). Obviously an inappropriate thing to tweet, hope he gets suitably punished.

I dunno, I would have rated it higher because of how well she sung it... but when you think of the composistion, lyrics, and entertainment value of it all.. a 20th place from a few countries doesn't seem so out of place

The Eurovision is another European institution I'd like to leave. Shame we can't have a referendum on that.

Ouch, what an idiot.
Hopefully someone sees the error of their ways allowing the likes of him to be a magistrate, sack the beggar. On a lighter note, we didn't come last |
