Labour councillor suspended for email threat to 'stuff engineer through the mincer'

A Labour councillor was suspended for a month after sending an e-mail threatening to stuff a council highways chief "through the mincer".

Councillor Laurence Williamson, 58, had got into a row with the engineer over funding for road closures when he sent the foul-mouthed email.

A bit of a sweeping statement to make. I think it is the Tory councillors who are more likely to talk to staff like they are dirt.

Two Luton Labour Councillors have been suspended from the Labour party over alleged comments made on Facebook.

Husband and wife Mohammad Ayub and Naseem Ayub are both councillors for the Biscot ward and Naseem is a member of the council’s executive committee. Bedfordshire Police confirmed they are investigating potential offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (unauthorised access) and/or Malicious Communications Act 1988 (send offensive communication/incite racial hatred).

Now here's the difference between what happens to dodgy Labour councillors and dodgy UKIP ones. Read Catman's anti-UKIP thread and you'll see the councillor was suspended immediately. But here:-

An East of England Labour Party Spokesperson said: “Following allegations about comments made on Facebook, Councillor Mohammad Ayub and Councillor Naseem Ayub were suspended from the Labour Party.” However, risibly, the pair will still be able to attend Luton council meetings and vote on council matters.

A council spokeswoman said: “No members are currently suspended by Luton Borough Council. The council does not comment on political party matters.”

UKIP is a much smaller party, and has more than it's fair share of racists, homophobes and criminals!

Ignoring my other post then? Why hasn't Labour suspended the two councillors who made the anti-semitic facebook messages, and why has their case seemingly been hushed up? Those old double standards again.

I googled "Labour councillor suspended for" anf there was a long long list! One of the cases was one Labour man suspended for making remarks about "shirtlifters", but it's in the Huffington Post and my laptop freezes when I go on there.
